[steve w]

Cheers Kev,good job you reminded me and Ken!

[Ken Davison]

If the weather is good and we can make the marks doubles will be standard for the day, no piddling little 3lb excuses.

The last time I went two years back I caught the first cod and as we were having a little aside on the matter it was weighed in at 8lb and a few ounces, it proved to be the smallest of the day:fishing:

Kev,I think I'm going out off Weymouth on the 10th of May on a private boat,so I'll probably take the missus and son down for the weekend.I'll have to meet you all down there!

[Marcus]

by the way...

The spurs trip that some of you couldnt make has been moved to the 10th instead if any of you are interested!

No probs mate.

Ken....would you still be going down the night before? We need 2 cars to take us down. I will drive 1 and pick up the newport and ponty yobs:headhurt:

I will be going down the night before fishing Sunday and travelling back early Monday morning, I have not yet tied up with Roger 100% on this one but the sofa is still on offer.

If Roger is going down on the day and back up again I may well go down a couple of days before and try to pick up some mid-week individual sessions.

I think Roger was consulting with his good lady about timing etc.

Ken appreciate the offer of the sofa sounds good to me . Will need to run it past Lynda first but shouldn't be a problem. How will the otheer lads get down?

[The VooDoo Bus Man]

just picked this up from the boats forum and couldn't resist putting up here .
OR get yourself on a mid channel boat and do some proper light tackle wrecking.
None of this daft 1lb plus pirks and 30lb class rods. A nice 6lb class rod or 6/12 if you really must. Super high speed palm sized multiplier (Shimano Torium 14 or Penn TRQ100 etc) loaded with 12lb braid and fish a flying collar with leads between 6oz and 10oz at the very most.
Use Shads, Storm Lures or Jelly Worms and if you are lucky the skipper will have live sandeel.

Expect Pollack into the mid teens and Cod up to and over 20lb.http://smiles2k.net/smiles/big_smiles/super_smilies007.gif

[welshkev]

The 5 of us that are left to go down will have to put 10 quid each in for the fuel and split it between 2 cars. I will drive one just need someone else for the other one.

Wasnt sure if i would be able to make this now since starting my new job, but told them i had a day trip to weymouth already booked so they would have to honour it:laugh: It is a sort of day trip anyway so i wasnt lying lol:victory:

Looking forward to it now after the ****ty winter we've had:)

That makes two of us:laugh:

Just before I went t*ts up I had a filling come out, after a great day at Oxwich Sunday, feeling on top of the world, got home and you guessed it, it started playing up and I was up all night, went to the dentist this morning and had it pulled. At £52 it was worth every penny :crazy::laugh:

Looking forward to the Weymouth trip.

That's £62.50p for the £500 deal worst case for off shore wrecking, I am OK with it, just have to see what every one else thinks.

[The VooDoo Bus Man]

Should not be a problem for me.

[steve w]

I'm fine with that,as well.

[alan.w]

:fishing1:one is also ok with that guys,Looking forward to a succesfull and enjoyable trip with you all.Regards alan.w:fishing:

[Ken Davison]

[sea hawk]

sorry lads thats a bit much for me for a boat that i havent been on before .
i am out for this one.
£62.50 is alot of money for a potential blank,so there is a space going.

I under stand £62.50p being a touch higher than it started, but the boat and skipper are ace and providing the weather allows us to go we will catch.

Catch reports coming in currently from the area and Collins boat have been great and improving week on week.

Sorry your going to miss it mate.

It is worth noting with the rising cost of fuel charter prices will have to rise.

[Welsh Warrior]

ill join in then ???

[welshkev]

ill join in then ???


O.K the space is yours if you want it. Do you drive coz the other 2 lads form up your way are going down the night before so you would have to get down to newport and join us from there:unsure:

[Welsh Warrior]

i can drive to newport if thats ok!

[welshkev]

Yeah thats fine mate. Will let you know all the details nearer the time.

[Welsh Warrior]

what rods are people taking with them???
i got my ...
Daiwa kenzaki 6-12lb rod and a abu chrome rocket with 20lb braid on
and
Abu suevron 12-20lb rod with another
abu chrome rocket with 30lb braid

thoes rods n reels should do??

Ken has some good local knowledge of the area and I asked him about it when were down Saundersfoot admiring the view on saturday. His opinion was wait until nearer the time to see where we can actually go what with the weather etc.
But I would think those two outfits you mentioned would cover most drifting conditions but you might need a 30lb class set up if we drop the hook near a wreck.
6-12lDaiwa kenzaki b rod how long is this rod BTW

[Welsh Warrior]

my kenzaki is 8ft long!! iv caught a spur, ray and conger on it!!!
i uses to use a 15lb ugly stick wrecking down plymouth... but iv upgraded my tacklre, nd never fished waymouth!"!!

[steve w]

Just switched the telly on and there's John Wilson fishing out of Weymouth with Colin Penny!Weird thing is I've only just finished talking to the missus about where she and Liam can go around Weymouth when I'm off on my 2 days fishing!

[Ken Davison]

[steve w]

As this is a sunday i will be without transport so if somebody can pick me up from st.mellons in cardiff i would be more than grateful.

Do we need bait for this trip or just use shads/jellies?

Best check with Colin end of next week, currently the weather is looking excellent so off shore wrecking should be ok.

[The VooDoo Bus Man]

I've got some jigs I'm dying to try out and no doubt loose on the wreck . But hey if you don't try you don't know what you've missed. Something like that any way.

The wind which is the controlling factor is looking better every day, I was worried about wind speeds of 25mph Friday and Saturday but these forecast have now dropped back to 14mph max plus dropping of Saturday evening to 12mph and falling through the night to down to 6mph by 6am and dropping of to 5mph by the time we set off.

No negative vibes, I need this trip as a therapeutic aid to my recovery :laugh: and a few more :laugh:

[Ken Davison]

12mph not too bad and no rain???

Yes it is looking really good, the best thing is the low wind speeds during the week plus an average speed of 8mph through Sunday.

Should be an excellent days fishing. Filling the rig pouches with jelly rigs, muppets and chartreuse / silver shad all on 25lb flourocarbon. Also put in a few packets of cod feathers. I purchased a new Igloo box for bring home a bit of fresh fish and hopefully a few mackerel as well.

I am going to look at Colins site now.

[Ken Davison]

I would expect a few doubles at least on the cod and pollock, I need to go 13lb plus on pollock to set a pb and 18lb plus on cod, should be some good whiting as well.

We need to know how much weight we are likely to use on these tides??

Rig wallets sorted now :clap: New cool box on it's way for a bit of cod and whiting.

[welshkev]

7.30am start so not too early.

Steve if you can get over here for 4.30 we can go down and pick up alan from garry evans.

Sparky have you been able to sort anything out with welsh warrior about picking you up on his way down? If not i will come and get you and des can pick steve up(same place as i picked you up last time) and all meet up down by garry evans.

[welshkev]

I will find out how much weight we will be needing now. Probably be 1lb+ i should imagine??

[Ken Davison]

I will find out how much weight we will be needing now. Probably be 1lb+ i should imagine??

A lot depends on the tides Colin will know, have used as little as 8oz and the most I have used is 1lb. Plus it depends how we fish them on the drift or uptide on anchor.

[steve w]

4.30 it is Kev!
