Ok guys ..

Skipper has had a little falling out with the owner of boatyard cafe , so breakfasts will not be availiable , so rob has offered us sausage in a roll on the boat for a mere 1.25p , To save a bit of fussing i have told him to cater for the 9 of us that had provisionally ordered breakfasts

Plus think of all those calories im saving you

Oh & another thing Rob mentioned that the forecast was looking rather good , but we knew that anyway

Roll on sunday a few of you carp boys need a boat fishing lesson

 

Do we still need to be there at 6.15?

Lesson , think you need to get to a lake soon to be shown how it's done mate

 

Will confirm times a little nearer i'll be up all night saturday anyway as i can't when going out on the boat = excited me never

Lake fishing what's that

 

Thursday?

 

No hope mate

 

Can't wait!!!!!

 

Tiny,

1 of my 'guests' would like to know, where abouts the boat is likely to go and also what has been caught in that area recently?

So they can have the right set up and bait??????

Surely a hair rig and boiles will be fine or is it pellet waggler time?

 

The wind is starting to pick up on the forecast!

 

Yeah it has increased slightly but still good to go ( If it starts to read 15mph + then it's time to 0, Spoke with Rob today everything will be confirmed Fri eve one way or the other

 

Bit hard to answer this mate , Rob takes us loads of places , all his marks are top secret though If another boats pulls alongside we tend to shoot of to another mark Tell them we have fished near the new wind farm , being constructed of Clacton , The Barrow deeps No2 are a regular haunt , if the weathers good & the 10 paying passengers contribute a little more then we may head for Rob's special mark 12 miles of Belgium Strange when your mobile swaps networks

Bait is all supplied , consistsof squid , herring , mackerel , lug/rag worm maybe & is plentiful

Tackle set up -not to sure really mate just a standard running ledger with wired weight

The Skipper ( Rob) Knows the Thames estuary inside out mate & has charter trips booked nearly every day , He offers plenty of advice for beginners & experienced anglers alike , if your guest would like to call him I'm sure he would have no problem in answering in a bit more detail

Bring it on !!

 

Oh & species probable to be caught

Roker - Smooth hound - Bass - Doggies

Possible TOPE , But wire traces reqd for these & big hooks otherwise it's bye bye line & hook , John1UK Will confirm this

So excited

 

Had a rig tying lesson this evening, amnesia hook length, 3 fooking great meat hooks. Christ this sea fishing is crude.

 

PMSL ! Just a bit

 

Looking a bit borderline now

Hopefully Saturdays high pressure will slow down a bit & Sun will be good

 

I hope so!!!!

 

Assuming all is good, what time are we now meeting?

If the weather is poor, as I have a day pass booked, I suggest we find a suitable lake. (Nounsley has a match on)

 

Hmmm.... I watched you fishing today, whilst I stared at a stationary very dry tipped float!

 

Still amazed at the results of the last couple of hours, never experienced anything like it.
I have ordered some more of those Guru things, enough for both of us
I'll copy the article for you also

 

I need to purchase one of these extra rods you have laying round....


As for sunday.... high tide is 15:00 so we could fish a couple of hours either side off the shore

 

All will be confirmed this time tommorow evening , one way or tother

 

WindGURU: United Kingdom - Clacton on Sea

Still waiting to hear from Rob , I got a positive feeling inside though

 

Fingers crossed!!!!

 

Oh yes & Toes , absolutely gagging to get out as our last two trips have fallen foul to the poxy weather

Will post up as soon as i hear anything

But sure Rob will give it every chance for us

 

This makes a little better reading

have spoken to rob and as the weather has been so changeable over the last few days he cant give a 100 per cent yes but at the moment the trip is on. we are to meet at the gate or parking area near the boat at 6-30am. please keep an eye on this as i will get definate yes or no tom afternoon. and post it as soon as poss as well as calling tiny to let him know. fingers and toes crossed

 

I won't be able to get near a pc tomorrow, so would someone be kind enough to text me either way, so I can confirm to all my guests.
Cheers

Neil

 

no worries

 

Looks like it';s dropped of a little With a nice big high tide tommorow (6.1) It must be a great day

 

Just spoke with Jon who in turn has spoke with Rob , Rob is out fishing with a party today & will be unable to confirm with us until he gets home later & checks the forecasts , this will be approx 7.30pm - 8pm tonight

Apoligies on Rob's behalf for leaving it so late , but it's better to be safe than sorry

Saying that i'm off to the tackle shop now to get a few bits as i still got a feeling it's going to be Go Go Go

Laters Guys
