[Ken Davison]

What's the best bait for these Spurs???

[Marcus]

mackeral and squid Ken

Wire traces,,or 150lb mono..

[Ken Davison]

I'm looking for a personal best here:fish::whistling that won't be to hard to achieve as I can't remember the last time I caught one :roll1::roll1:

[Daihook]

I had one off Swansea - cut through my line so I'm definitely going for a wire trace. Mind you, never really seen a spurdog up close - personally, just going for the I-Spy Ken....

[Marcus]

get some monsters where we go...Last year i think Rockling and codeye managed Spurs to 13lb or so...Good size that..

Plus we had some rays and smoothies thrown in for good measure...

Squid is the bait of the day...closely followed by mackeral...

[steve w]

I've got a top secret Spur bait,biggest I've had on it is 14lb 13oz!

[Ken Davison]

What about traces then ????

[Marcus]

Running Ledger with 3ft of 80lb mono hooklength,,with 4 inchs of wire attached Pennel 6/0-8/0 strong hooks...Sakuma Manta extras!!..

Right so that's the huss taken care of, so whats the mix?

[Marcus]

what??.......

[Ken Davison]

what??.......

Well you said spurs/mixed fishing, so what's the mixed bit??? :whistling

Just trying to cover bait and tackle, using small bag, small rig wallet, one rod, one reel, and what's the tide size???

[Marcus]

Spurs/Smoothies/rays/Congers/.....etc..All can be caught on the same rigs...thats what im doing and sticking with it..


Im sure i said that earlier....Plonker!!:bye1:

tide size is perfect for the fishing we're doing...your downtiding so use plenty of lead..

hi ken
dont forget some peelers if you can get some & always a good idea to keep a few frozen sandeel & rag hidden away if all else is failing

c u swn

[Marcus]

12oz should be sweet...you can always add another lead if its not holding to well,,but we should be good...

[tinker]

dont go without the wire lol good luck TIGHT LINES

Looks like your on the back then M8?

[Ken Davison]

Looks like your on the back then M8?

I take it you mean the stern ? :fishing:

[Welsh Warrior]

i herd sardines were suposed to be a good bait for huss and spurs! never tried it tho!

[The VooDoo Bus Man]

Sardines are beat grilled on a BBQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When there in a tin with tomato sauce and called pilchards they are great on toast . I know I've just this minute eaten some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ken Davison]

I have decided to buck the trend :fishing: I am making up some snoods with 30lb nylon coated wire, to which I am attaching with crimps either a Sakuma 540 Manta 5/0 or Mustad Ultra Point Demon Circle 6/0 hooks. Four foot long snoods with Gemini Link Clip which will attach to main line via Gemmini swivel.

Figured less joints to screw up :fishing: may put in a second swivel on a couple to cope with a sixty pound strap or two :fishing:

[Welsh Warrior]

ambitious ent you ken! lol

[Ken Davison]

ambitious ent you ken! lol

I hate congers :fishing: Fought one once for over an hour with the tide gathering speed all the time, got it to the surface about fifty yards off the stern , started pumping it in got it to about ten yards from the boat, it went into one those famous spins and snapped me off, rod flew back and clobbered a chap called Brian Frisk. My name was S***. :sad:

Since then which was nearly forty years ago I have never gone out of my way to catch them, rather do battle with a GW.:fishing:

[Welsh Warrior]

i had a 50lb eel from the channel, in the tiderip... it was a t**t to pull in on the uptider!

[codeye joe]

sorry lads not goin to make this 1 start my nem job on tues so cant ask for day off yet

[Daihook]

Hi lads,

Spent last night making wire traces with 6/0 sakuma extras as pennels So I'll be the one with my head in hands weeping when the rig breaks cos I've never done crimping before.... Also had that light bulb moment when I finally realised how you get that bit of rubber tubing over the shank on the upper hook - easy when you do it properly innit...?

Anyway, I've only ever sailed on Anchorman out of Penarth so I have no idea how to get to the berth in Barry - can anyone help with directions please? I'll be coming down 5 mile lane and then along Broad Street. After that, no idea!

Thanks

DH

hello marcus only 9 of us going mate is it i tought there would be 10 on the boat who els is comeing then tight lines

[Marcus]

I got a mate coming..if he cant do it..then the space is free to whoever wants it..

[Ken Davison]

Starting to look like a good session weather wise, I knew the other sites would shape up :whistling :laugh:

[Ken Davison]

The bad weather forecast for Thursday / Friday has now moved to Friday / Saturday with gust up to 49mph on Saturday. :wallbash:

Looks like the BBC forecast was right:headhurt::headhurt:

[Welsh Warrior]

u was up early ken... resourcing that info!

[Ken Davison]

u was up early ken... resourcing that info!


Woke up and decided on a cuppa, then looked around the world :laugh:

I was looking forward to this trip, I haven't given up on it yet as the wind patterns are changing by the hour but it does not look very good currently.

Average wind speeds over three sites is currently 21mph, gusting to 30mph which is a drop since last checking for gust speeds.

I think the big problem is Fridays wind speeds whipping up the big seas and obviously reflecting on Saturdays seas.

[Ken Davison]

Sadly they have revised the weather again for Saturday.

0:00 2:59 5 °c 7 °c 990 mb 2.5 mm 100 % 17 mph 44 mph
3:00 5:59 7 °c 3 °c 987 mb 0.5 mm 100 % 20 mph 48 mph
6:00 8:59 10 °c 0 °c 986 mb 1.4 mm 100 % 30 mph 66 mph
9:00 11:59 6 °c 0 °c 992 mb 0.9 mm 100 % 28 mph 60 mph
12:00 14:59 8 °c 3 °c 998 mb 0.9 mm 97 % 28 mph 53 mph
15:00 17:59 9 °c 5 °c 1002 mb 0.2 mm 65 % 24 mph 44 mph
18:00 20:59 9 °c 4 °c 1004 mb 0.2 mm 79 % 12 mph 32 mph
21:00 23:59 6 °c 3 °c 1006 mb 0.0 mm 77 % 10 mph 28 mph

The maximum gust speeds in the last column if true on the day make it a non-starter.

[welshkev]

Not looking too good is it:cry: South westerlies though so if does get blown off we could always meet up down sidan or somewhere like that:happy:

Oxwich might fish well but the Sidan would be murder to fish in that wind

[rockling]

that weekend not looking good at all lads i think we will have 2 wait and see you know how the weather men get it wrong tight lines

[charlie the cod]

Hi all while your having a torrid time with the weather some of the lads from the club got out yesterday on the Benjoma 24/03/2008

They went nash way stopping off between aberthaw and nash where they had dogs,conger,rays spotted,thornback & blondes to 14lb8oz oh and two cod 3lb8oz & 4lb all on fish baits.

Anchorman did turn up for a while then disappeared

If you can get out then there are fish but it can also be hard as one of the ex welsh internationals can testify,he had doggies

charlie.....:fishing1::fishing:

[Ken Davison]

To be honest Saturday appears to be going down hill very fast

0:00 2:59 5 °c 1 °c 1010 mb 0.0 mm 48 % 11 mph 34 mph
3:00 5:59 5 °c 2 °c 1011 mb 0.0 mm 64 % 11 mph 35 mph
6:00 8:59 5 °c 2 °c 1013 mb 0.0 mm 60 % 11 mph 35 mph
9:00 11:59 7 °c 4 °c 1013 mb 0.1 mm 100 % 14 mph 33 mph
12:00 14:59 10 °c 7 °c 1012 mb 0.1 mm 100 % 18 mph 35 mph
15:00 17:59 9 °c 4 °c 1010 mb 0.8 mm 100 % 19 mph 48 mph
18:00 20:59 9 °c 3 °c 1008 mb 2.1 mm 100 % 21 mph 49 mph
21:00 23:59 7 °c 4 °c 1008 mb 2.2 mm 100 % 17 mph 43 mph

And now the shipping forecast has kicked in with 26mph and to be honest they are never far off:sad:

Just rechecked again today Wed. 26th wind speed 31mph, wave 3.7m, gusting 45mph. all the sites are unfortunately fairly consistent with only minor variations.

[Marcus]

Spoke to Dave..unfortunatly,this trip probably won't be on..

Same thing crossed my mind, just checked and all the 50mph stuff has vanished and the average wind speed 20mph.

Not sure if we would have made the marks Marcus wanted to fish.

[welshkev]

No i doubt it and it does look like the winds are picking up a bit here now!!!

[Marcus]

theres alot of wind today!....

i wouldn't want to be out thats for sure!
