southampton meet (3rd time lucky)

[Ben]

ok, im gonna try to do a proper job at arranging a meet down here this time, if i can arrange it by mid november it will be around then but maybe later, depending on tides and peoples arangements
need to know if you lot fancy doing a day or night job, after the success of the evenings fishing the other day my vote is for night
venue is likely to be stockes bay or gilkickers point but that can be decided closer to the date depending on catch reports (right next to each toher anyway)
need to know what time of day people wanna be fishing before i can start looking at tides 1st though

[Simon TorbayFishing]

What's the tide times there for that day? That would decide for me day or night.

[Ben]

well i wanted to know what time of day you all wanna fish n then i will find a suitable day

ben
would it not be best to put up 2-3 dates with hi-lo water times then let people pick the date?
where are we going to park?
how much is the parking for the day/night?
are you going to be organizing bait?

i did offer to run down and check the site out for you about a week ago (and take some pics), do you still require me to do this?

brett

[Ben]

i should be fine to do that, will be a good chance to try somewhere new, but i mgiht still call on you, parking should be simple, there is 1 car park for both stockes bay and gilkeickers point as far as i know, not sure about rates, opening times etc.... but will find out asap

[audiracer]

how many are coming? who is suppling the bait? ( if you are going to organize should be up to you to supply bait)

[Ben]

i dont mind supppling bait as long as i know in advance what is needed and dont have a clue about numbers yet

[audiracer]

how about teaming up with the crew of 'white huntress', they fish gilkicker from the boat and the same number of poaple fish the shore.

come on guys put your money where your mouth is, boat 'v' shore.

who's up for it

[Ben]

i recon the boat people might have a slight advantage there, with experience of the mark and im sure boat fishing is easier
