Hoping to get down there in a few days might try getting boat out to fit my new garmin striker 7cv
Welcome to the Club, you will not regret your decision, I, like quite a few other members, am in Cobbs so hope to catch up when we are able.

Hi FreeDinky and welcome to pbsbac. Quite a few of us keep our boats at Cobbs and I'm sure you will get to know who they are in time. What pontoon are you on or are you drystack<
I have not had notification that you have paid up yet but have upgraded your forum status to that of club member so you will now have access to all areas.
BTW my name is Martin, I am the club vice chair and forum admin and your name?
Hi Terry and Martin my names nigel 😊
I'm new to these sort of forums I have no idea how to use them lol but I'll learn (some how) when is the next time you guys are going out to the bay ? I tried last week but it was too lumpy I got about 200 yards past the chain ferry and had to turn back .I really want to catch some plaice or a turbot

I certainly won't be going out until the end of the month as I live two hours away so can't travel until then but, as soon as I am able, I shall be amongst you. What boat do you have? Have a look at some old threads which will give an idea of the weather apps we use to help to decide if the weather/tides/wind will be suitable on a given day. Plaice are starting to show although normally they are a bit out of condition at this time as they are just recovering from spawning. I am reliably informed that the smaller to medium ones are o/k with the larger ones showing more effect from the exertions of their breeding. Targeting turbot could be a bit hit and miss, they are not prolific in our area although they do show up now and again, we usually go to Weymouth or Alderney for those.
Keep watching the catch reports, things should start moving soon as the water warms up then you'll have to book a spot on the hotspots. 😀

Hi Nigel, I think it may have been you that followed me in and took my short cut 😁?..?
Always happy to help a new member
We usually hang about on ch 6, give us a shout when you out! ( Doombar/ Pilot 20)
Im trying to plan a few hours out Monday morning, winds allowing.
Possibility of a few Plaice off the piers, Turbot a bit more difficult 😣
Hi Nigel
I've got your boat name down as Dinky is that correct, or should it be Ragdoll?
Cheers

I used to travel to your neck of the woods before I retired, I used to visit Fort Halstead.
Nigel its a quite time of year and a lot of members do their annual maintenance about now. My boat is on the hard a Cobbs being relaunched on the 17th March. As hooky says we monitor ch6. Call up any "Poole Bay Small Boats" if any members are out they should respond to you. See you out there
