Popular Post mike farrants Posted January 15 Popular Post Share Posted January 15 Light winds and big tides meant another trip out - met at the marina at 7am and immediately found a problem - the marina are doing work on the wall near my mates boat and they left a dingy in our way and a floating pontoon half blocking our exit - quick rant at the harbour master (who assured we would have unrestricted access throughout the works) and they come and move it - but that took nearly an hour and with the big tide flooding rapidly to high at 9am that left us very little room under the bridge - which wasn't lifting until 10am. we chanced it and squeaked under with 6 inches to spare at the highest point! the day didn't get much better for me despite big tides - only managing pout and a dog. Luckily I caught more than a weekends worth last weekend - and still had fresh fish in the freezer! Tim did better with pout, poor cod, Thornie, spotted ray, a strap and a decent +30lb eel. freezing cold all day - but stunning skies. (tip if you didn't know - if you suffer from cold hands wear a pair of surgical gloves under your neoprene fishing gloves - works wonders for warmth.)

Andy135 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Well done on the dogfish Mike 👍. If it were me I'd have been tempted to move the dinghy myself then gently squeeze past the floating pontoon . Does the Harbour master get funny if you do that sort of thing in Weymouth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike farrants Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 yeah we could of Andy, but we wanted to inconvenience him at 7.30am on a Sunday - as we had been inconvenienced!! plus it was a contractors dingy and we didn't want to upset them as they're working by the boat for a good few weeks!
