I'm not really sure how many members on here trailer their craft but thought I might try to see if anyone interested .
I'm going down for the weekend for another crack at the cod, pollack etc from a few of my favourite wrecks.
I have them all plotted , takes about 40 mins steam out to mark X , had a fantastic result a few years ago use lures only ( try to do at least 4 productive wrecks a day )
You would need at least 50 litres of fuel , a big ice box ( no bait required )
At the present time I have room for one crew ( must be full club member )
Cost of slipway and overnight pontoon mooring to follow .
Post away if interested , let's get this section going again .
Nice to see you back Hookey, good luck and tight lines.
Sounds like a great crack! When do you reckon on doing it? Endeavour 3's other owner ( Marcel ) might wake up fr this. We'll have to convert his old double kayak into an oiler and tow it behind.
Ps sorry about the spelling mistake!
I go out wrecking on my Warrior, what is the venue for this exped?
Terry, I think he's talking about using West Bay. That's a bit far for me for a day trip.
Venue https://www.dorsetforyou.gov.uk/travel-dorset/harbours/boat-and-trailer-parking/bridport-west-bay
Superb venue , brilliant fishing .
IF you can get on the slip (before 7 am and return after 7pm ) you could miss the harbour master so may miss the charges !
Overnight on the pontoons is £ 35.00 ish.
I'm bringing a sleeping bag and my portable gas Webber BBQ so ( as usual weather permitting ) I'm going to book 3 days off !
Fuel : allow plenty , my old tub carries at least 50 litres , from the last time I used this per day .
Gummidge on Endeavour 3 will of course run out within a hour or so !!!! So anyone that has a little more room for a extra tanker or two please bring them , my old bus can't drag around his lump for too long !!!!!!!!!
Fuel available 3 miles away .
Checking tides etc ( need neeps as some wrecks rather deep .)
Loads of wrecks to hit but many are netted but (according to my gestimate ) around 26 good ones to try all within 40 mins or so of the slip
It is a possibility I'm may be out on my new tub ( sshhhhh) tiz a secret , don't tell the wife .
Any boat around 16ft will be fine , buddy boat system in place so noobs will be looked after ., all welcome
Will update soon , keep checking , ta chaps
Here we go

We could also all anchor up just round in the next bay for a overnight sesh on the Brill banks ?? Dunno
Alway help available if required ; that's why it's called a slipway .

Think I'd be up for this either crew or drag mine down. Can do as I please now I'm my own boss earning a mint (polo that is). Which month you thinking ? Codnpollockformeplease . Mike
I could be up for it, let me know dates.
Hi hooky
I used to trial my warrior down to west bay, those were the days of the old wooden slip way go to far and a two foot drop of the end.
I used to go out to the gible hamen about 8-9 ish miles out, always provided a good selection of fish i.e. Bass cod pollock I had my best pollock out there 17 1/2 pound,
There are good many good places all around there, Lyme Regis is another good place to launch you need to be out early to beat the crowds and for parking
Have a great trip
Thanks all , looking at weekend of Saturday 8th July , I hope the weather gods let this happen because it's a case of ' you can have this week off ' sometimes I wish a was not a employee ! Just another thing to get used too after 25 of self rule .
I'm planning on getting to the slipway around 6am , it won't be possible to get out if it's blowing W/SW so looking at a plan b
Plan B - launching from Weymouth or Portland , choose of harbour or back of the Bill , plan c , stay at home and sulk !
Checking tides etc
I usually launch from Portland slip, easy peasy with free parking and quick access to the open sea.
