Weather looks too windy on the south coast (again!) so I'll be fishing vicariously through you lot if you can get out safely. There is a weather window Saturday I am keeping an eye on, I might get a few hours in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can see is winds between 11 and 13mph all day? And before anyone says it.. yes, I am a fair weather fisherman! 😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Solent maybe, but not in the East Wight area, for precisely the reason you describe. With the tide flows being counter-intuitive it can kick up quickly out there, which is why I don't tend to fish in much above 8-9mph.

I live 15 mins from the marina so I will head down early have a look at the Solent and poke my nose out to plan A, if that is too lumpy I have a mark just inside that produces Bream/Hounds and I'll sit on that. It's a bit more exposed to a NW than plan A but happy just to get a few hours if I can. Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to explore much of the harbour but I've heard it can produce all the species in one way or another. Tight lines if you get out.

JDP Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Might tow the boat to a ramp somewhere on Sunday and play with props again. The boat Ive been skippering over the last few weeks had a 207kg broadbill yesterday in an epic deep battle where the fish spent several hours bellow 700m. The yellowfin tuna have been in good numbers for several months but our freezers are all full, so I will just target snapper or deep water table fish (deep as in 400m depths).

Scotch_Egg2012 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) So we headed out at about 9am not before a thorough check over as the boat has not been out since January. All items working well so we pushed out. Headed to Bembridge ledge bouy to see what conditions were like, bit of swell running but manageable, next check point would be Princessa Shoal and then Culver, Plan A was to tuck in at Sandown bay. Swells started to increase at Princessa again manageable so on to Culver which was a slightly different beast, 3-4ft waves over the ledge but could see they dropped down again just after. Onwards again at a reduced speed and 15mins later crossed the ledge. Swung into the bay which was still kicking a bit but was fishable, what went in our favour was that we were pushing wind against tide for most of the voyage but heading back the forecast was dropping and would be wind with tide so were quite confident the sea state would be much better coming back. Not much to report on the fishing front, lots of straps but no Bream. Think they may have headed into deeper water to sit out the storm. Bait dropper worked perfect and I'm sure that what got the straps on the feed. Headed back in around 4pm as the predicted increase in wind turned up. Return journey much more pleasant running 20kts most of the way back Edited May 22, 2021 by Scotch_Egg2012 Saintly Fish, Andy135, Dicky and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 Good work! You did well to get out. Shame the fish weren't playing ball but still good to be out there. Scotch_Egg2012 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 A few good yellowtail kingfish today and reef fish. Temp is dropping now and all rugged up for a few hours on the beach to use up the bait left from the boat. Just taking one rod and my son to do any fish pulling in as he's hoping for a nice shark. Tides are wrong but who cares, nothing ventured nothing gained!!!!!....report later 🙂 When I say temp dropping, I mean to frost levels.

JDP Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 First cast just on dark resulted with a nice tope, second cast a ray. Third cast I think the bait came off, fourth is out there waiting now !!!!..... Andy135 and suzook12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
