mike farrants Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 fingers crossed it blows itself out by then - still got 3 days to improve before the skipper decides! I'm remaining confident and prepping the gear! (buying scotch eggs and cans of monster) captin slows old outlaw and Saintly Fish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 This is the day I'm concentrating on, as this is more likely to become Sunday's weather and this is fishable in my 8.6m mono hull. So, in theory it should be ok for a large cat 🤞🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I’ve found windy.com best. That gives the wind forecast as a map and you get the forecast out at sea as well… There is a lot of low pressure around, it only needs to head a bit more north and it’d make a real difference Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but Windy doesn't show that far out yet, so that leaves us with the BBC and XC forecasts for 20's and 30's out to Tuesday. #dontshootthemessenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Windy is 24knts gusting 32knts at 9am on Sunday…. TBH I’m more interested in Friday forecast to get up the channel…. Looks like it’s on, going to be hell but it’s doable 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzook12 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 On the basis of getting caught out, I've decided to take the decision to cancel the worms, with the forecasts the way they are, I would rather go fishing with no lug than have 200 lug and no fishing.... captin slows old outlaw, Andy135 and Saintly Fish 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Sounds like an idea @suzook12 after all skipper is due to bring worm and we can always bring our own if needs be….

Tis what it is mate, certainly haven't got out after tope this year, can't recall getting out at all, every planned trip blown off..... Trouble is, a charter skipper wants people to come again, so don't like taking a crew out when it's lumpy, especially unknown crew. See what happens, but looking at the reports, it don't look promising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
