This booking is also for a neap tide, so we could bait fish for ling, conger etc as well......

the cost to travel to the far off wrecks is 550 for the day, please post here
if you want to join the trip and split the cost

I would be up for it.

Sorry John, I'll be up the walls at work so won't be able to make this one.

I'm in

Any Recent reports John, I don't think I can make it, but if the fishing was looking good I will do my best.

hi kev,

Colin has not been fishing on the far out wrecks for a couple of months now due to weather,
so who knows. I get kind of worried if I hear a lot of cod are being caught as that might mean none
left for me . December, as shown in the report above, can be very good.

The problem at the minute is the forecast isn't looking as calm, we'll just have watch it
and hope it is settled enough

Love to go, but family getting in that day at airport. BTW sorry for not getting back to re the last trip.

Is 22nd a fixed date? I mean, could it be moved a day back or forward, weather depending? At the moment the forecast looks like it would be better to go out either on Sunday or Wednesday. I know there is still plenty of time and forecast surely will change, due to huge low pressure area, but just checking, if we have this option to adjust the date to the weather.

As you say tommy the forecast changes every time you look at it. I spoke to Colin and
he could go on the monday or wednesday either if tueday is too windy.

So the arrangement is, Tommy and myself are on for this anyway, hopefully get a few
lads to split the cost with. We plan to go tuesday but if the forecast is unsuitable and
monday or wednesday is ok we will switch days

complicated business this

weather looks ok for tuesday, light northerly breeze, might be a bit on the cool side though,
I will confirm final details with Colin tomorrow

John how are the numbers working out on this one,I should be able to make the trip if its on Tuesday,Brian

Hey Brian,
it's John and myself at this stage - I got one guy that is "maybe" - so who knows if he decide to go with us. Last Cast posted in the topic but don't know if he's still in.

But I guess numbers are not important it's just fishing what matters

Come on Brian, it's going to be good fun!

One of my buddies was talking to a wreck netter on monday, they are getting plenty of big cod on the wrecks at the moment, I would deffo go if I had the time off.

i was talking to Colin and it looks like this is going ahead on tuesday. The meeting time
is 0745 on Reen pier for departure at 0800 sharp, its a long trip. The skipper advises
us to bring frozen macs/squid as well as the shads.

jw and tommy are definates,

brian, last cast and mac are maybes

i'll be staying in the leap inn 02833668 and they have vacancies if it suits anyone else

you can count me in John,looking forward to it even allowing for the Brass monkey weather.

It's good to see you on board Brian!

I think I'm going to head down to leap inn tomorrow as well.

John, are you taking frozen bite with you? Do you think we could store it over night in the freezer at leap inn?

might be colder left in the car

ann that runs the b&b is very helpful so im sure that would be no problem

brian see you on pier, im away from internet from now, my cellphone number is 087 1477348 if you
need to call
