Boat Fishing Trip is tomm...

The weather is looking good so remember your sun cream and to take your tablets tonight

I am very much looking forward to meeting up with everyone its going to be great

Going to sort my kit out today and sit on the end of my bed and wait for my alarm to go off at 4.30am - if anyone wants a morning call just pm me and I will phone them as I will be up before everyone due to my traveling distance to gosport

Good luck to the other group going out as well and it will be interesting to see the results from both areas

Thanks to Gus again for org.. this trip

im very excited about it all, got to ssort out my stuff this afternoon cause working tonight, dont think theres much to sort out though

i recon a 6.15 start, quick breaky and then leave or maybe 6.00
i agree, thanks gus

THE PLAN
The first thing once we are on board will be to draw for boat positions, then we will drift for mackerel around the forts.(we will split into two groups one group catching and one group un hooking). when we hve sufficient for the day we will then anchor a spot called nab rock to catch our smaller species (bream pout dogs etc) when the skipper decides the time is right we will move out to an area called utopia for the smoothounds and tope blonde rays and thornbacks.when the tide is such we cannot hold bottom with large weights we will probably move back in to sheltered water.
Please do not be late at the ferry and leave time for puntures etc if you are driving any distance. 0700 is the time we meet. and 0730 is the time the boat will sail.
