Dog Posted 17 August, 2008 Share Posted 17 August, 2008 OK, I am supposed to be going on a fishing trip from Lymington to the I.O.W. fishing for Bass. I have just had a text to tell me the trip is off because it is blowing a gale of Force 6. Can anyone confirm this as I don't live anywhere near the coast and I am £80 lighter and p1ssed off.

Jillyanne Posted 17 August, 2008 Share Posted 17 August, 2008 Didn't someone post a link to the cameras last week, that would help. I believe they are situated on Calshot boating club or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint francis Posted 17 August, 2008 Share Posted 17 August, 2008 I've just spent the last 4 hours on a boat in the Solent, watching the missus waterski. It was a bit choppy, but not much more. Seems even calmer now if anything. Sounds like you may have been diddled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwaySaint1 Posted 17 August, 2008 Share Posted 17 August, 2008 Your money should roll over to another trip out. I often fish the Nab and Needles in a force 6,its not to bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essruu Posted 17 August, 2008 Share Posted 17 August, 2008 I have just had a text to tell me the trip is off because it is blowing a gale of Force 6. Do fish go on strike if it's blowing a bit if a breeze then? I've heard it all now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillyanne Posted 17 August, 2008 Share Posted 17 August, 2008 Do fish go on strike if it's blowing a bit if a breeze then? I've heard it all now. I maybe wrong but I imagine it is to do with safety whilst on the water, forget the fish, they are not Miners or Underground staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted 17 August, 2008 Author Share Posted 17 August, 2008 Do fish go on strike if it's blowing a bit if a breeze then? I've heard it all now. No the fish don't strike as they are all from Southampton. The trip has been cancelled because of the weather conditions and it will be too rough to travel as it is going to be very windy and rough seas apparently. The fish in the sea get scared and they will all be hiding in an octopus' den. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 17 August, 2008 Share Posted 17 August, 2008 OK, I am supposed to be going on a fishing trip from Lymington to the I.O.W. fishing for Bass. I have just had a text to tell me the trip is off because it is blowing a gale of Force 6. Can anyone confirm this as I don't live anywhere near the coast and I am £80 lighter and p1ssed off. Shame I didn't see this at the time. I could have pointed you to the Bramble Bank data sender: http://www.bramblemet.co.uk/(ucy1wiy02bwgvw45ceugkk45)/Default.shtm Click on more details, in the main window, and you'll find that indeed it was gusting to F6 today [sunday afternoon]. If the leaves are being stirred in your back garden, it could be blwoing a gale out in the Solent. Force 6 isn't actually a gale though. It's officially just a strong breeze. It's a bit of fun on a sailing boat in the Solent, as it is so shallow, and therefore choppy water. Bit of a bugger in a little fishing boat though, I'll bet. Out in open water, it's no big thing, except in the same size fishing boat, I'll bet. You were probably well out of it. http://www.zetnet.co.uk/sigs/weather/Met_Codes/beaufort.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Landrew Posted 17 August, 2008 Share Posted 17 August, 2008 BTW, don't make the mistake that what is Force 6 at sea is going to be Force 6 on land. All those land undulations, trees, buildings, and whatnot get in the way. At sea there's nothing to dissipate the wind. In fact, the sea state can be much worse if the wind is against the tide. So an F6 at sea maybe only F2-3 on land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
