Stay around lepe. to be honest I just want to prove the engine works, any fish are a bonus. If the engine doesn't work look out for a burning pilot 520 floating around the solent Saintly Fish, Geoff and mick 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostPiker Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 You'll have noticed there wasn't a pilot 520 ablaze on the Solent today. It actually works! Sort of. I don't think it's getting full throttle and barely moves in reverse. Hopefully it's just the cables that need adjusting. Walker outboards supposedly did them so I'll call them Monday. Very quiet on the fish front, just a small whiting and a tiny doggy but at least it's not a blank Saintly Fish, daio web and Geoff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These may do the trick if you want to try something different for the cod, clean-ish water would be best. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154697135992?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=154697135992&targetid=1404115578933&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9046750&poi=&campaignid=17218284410&mkgroupid=142217514411&rlsatarget=pla-1404115578933&abcId=9300867&merchantid=7441614&gclid=CjwKCAiAmZGrBhAnEiwAo9qHiT2-ApXKNIUlsrKyqhgZJprlcNB78HdLJLo2NEZqpxoAwF59M7jHExoCJbAQAvD_BwE daio web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Weather forecast isn’t great tomorrow and the fishing isn’t expected to be great either but I’m going to give it a go for a few hours. Got a few lug and some frozen bits so I’ll try scratching in the river. I haven’t fished the river much over the past year, I’ve been doing more all day longer distance trips, it’s funny how so many of us probably drive straight over the top of decent fish to get to the distant marks. I think I’ve got a decent stockpile of pot noodles on board so worst way I can just spend my day eating in style.

GPSguru Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 2 hours ago, Odyssey said: Stunning forecast on weekend but Saturday it’s doing a refit on downstairs loo, Sunday it’s SCBI AGM in London so no fishing again 😞 Certainly a decent forecast for Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday here. On Saturday I have to take grand daughter to horse riding, but hoping to get out on Sunday, and if the forecast holds true it will be a trip to the skerries after some winter Turbot. However, it is a monster tide (top of the springs) so drifting the skerries will be challenging, also coming back into port at low tide will require some bum clenching careful maneuvering, as with 0.8m there is no room for any error. Normally I like the tide to be a minimum of 1.5m to get on the slip, but I will probably land at the all tide sand slip, but it will still be very tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
