Tommy & Kiwi. Weekend of 18th 19th Dec

[nimue4]

If you guys have already replied I'm sorry and stupid and very forgetful!

Are you up for going out that weekend? Shallow water will be no good so need to go out to the wrecks, weather will therefore be a big deal.

Not been down to boat for a long time so hope it's still there. Need to go out tho' .

Sorry to ask again but i won't go out that far by myself in winter.....talk about belt and braces....I even need 2 boats!!!!

Cheers guys, Jules.

jules if your going out from teignmouth and cant make the wreck marks try the orestone area...maybe a mile out to sea from the orestone...anchor up should be some codling out there they have had them from hopesnose and berry head so the back of the orestone should produce now for the next few months

Devondave,

Hi and thanks for that, have been wanting to try Orestone for while, what baits will work there? Will be a useful target if weather a bit iffy!

See you on a beach soon I hope.

Cheers, Jules.

hello jules,
the weekend of the 18th i can do (i think?) as it's the winter and the nights draw closer we should be back on dry land for 5 ish and then a an hour or so from there to here, so back home around 6.30ish. if thats the plan then i can make it but have to be back as have been invited to Bath for chrimbo party that night. Soph is travelling up from the big smoke and meeting me there so I HAVE TO MAKE IT !!!!!!! But if there is problem with this schedule then alas the cod/bass will have to wait utill the next time.

thanks matt

P.S. I landed a 15lb pike last week, it was the last of three 7lb and 3lb, on a lure(rattle i think you call it) oh yes i remember you were there.... hooray
(sorry i couldn't resist it )

Jules,

Still trying to sort out time off for good behaviour ! Im not playing that weekend so if anything it will be the Saturday ( 18th ) and I will need to be fishing in the morning cause have to be out of the water and home by about 4 if possible.

What are the times and dates again mate ?

If I can arrange the fishing on the Friday then Ill let you know mate - happy to fish just off the Orestone mate cause it sounds hopefull and it aint too far out in the cold.

Any news on the baits that are catching around there ?

hey all,

So not too many days before the orestone boat meet comenses. And things are hotting up at home now as well, the fishing conversation around the house has moved up a gear, its now running around every ten/fifteen mins somebody (Jules or I usually start it but outside influence has been injected from time to time without any promting from either of us) mention's a piscotorial subject. The dinner table is the favorite area of conversation as occastionally were masticating (thats "masticating", or eating for those who need it) a conversation topic at the time, also the audience is captive as dinner tables are a very polite arena, so people feel the need to encorage you to finish your piont and with this being a fishing house the piont can last for hours. Another tell tale sign that fishing in the boat is looming comes from the influx of fishing mags and parifinalia that as men we automatically horde thinking that "this will come in handy someday i just know it", so fishing techniques and equipment from yesteryear are displayed with great pride and if they only produce a small conversation or rapport then it was worth keeping for all those years. In the fishing room we have infomation on fishing left buy cavemen, paited on stone tablets dipicting the first fishing rod ever (a large pionted stick, and the patented downwards thrusting motion followed buy the war cry " B*gger!!, missed that blooddy thing again).

We are getting more and more excited as the days reel closer, soon it will be the start of the fishy mantra and other strange customs that have worked their way in to the build up preperation before a big trip. I have started to boil up some old chinese herbs(thats what the old hippie told me they were!) in readyness for the mornings innoculation of super catching potion. And spinkle around the craft so Neptune smiles on our fortune.

The count down has started

Tommy, Kiwi,
Saturday...
We're gonna leave here at 8am and hope to get boat ready for sea by 10.

Tide is about 12 and very big! So should all be over by 2.30.

If you get Total Sea Fishing you may have seen picture of new british record dover sole caught 500 yards off.......Teignmouth!!!

I'm taking squid and macks plus lures of course, can't get hold of any crabs or worms unfortunately.

Kiwi, if you're coming meet us at Ringmoor between 9 and 9.30.

Tommy, if you can make it we can meet outside at about 10ish.

Sixfeetof mud.....calm down!!

Cheers, Jules.

If you can, fish between 300 to 500 yards out from hopes nose. I've heard more reports of double figure cods beging taken. The highest so far is still the 17lb cod caught the week before last.

Brixham has died off a little but the nose seems to be holding the doubles well.

Hope that helps a little.

Simon / Jules,

The area we are talking about sounds good is it fishing well on both the incoming and the ebb ? With HT at 12ish Sat we will probably fish it from 8ish through til 1 then get off home cause need to be home by 3ish ?

Any info wood b great thanks

[sixfeetofmud]

Calm whats the meaning of this word. If it means that as the days draw closer all I can think about is dragging up any type of fish from davey jones locker buy its mouth, giving it its only photoshoot then klunking it on the head with a large iron bar only to find it's self in a fridge or on the table anionted with a compot of tasty flavors, then i'm calm.

If buy the calming statement you means i can't get excited buy the prospect of FISHING (yeah say it agian FISHING!!!) then i don't think i can or can be bothered to. I'm ready, I've never been so ready to do anything. It's been ages since i've been out and now i think i have withdrawral. i know i need help but leave me for now in my world of euphoria untill the first fish is on board, then leave me for bit longer to relish and bathe in the glory.

And I ask you what eles have i got to be reall happy about?
