Really not sure yet. 15 mph is moderate breeze territory and it might be driving up the Estuary, it's not too big a tide though.
Difficult isn't it? I don't have the drive here you guys have so its not such a problem for me to go to the club have a look and go home again if need be

Looking at Hilbre earlier then it was very still out there but probably the start of weather changing

Logger does have a plan B if Simon can't go out.
But if Simon can go out and I can't I am going to feel bad for Mike now he's in with me.

I think we watch the weather a bit longer yet and ring round depending on how it shapes

If you decide against then I will respect that, safety first.

Just looking at XC Weather at the moment it's saying a lot stronger before 10am

Plan B is to fish Mostyn over low which is 11am I think
Everyone welcome

Like to get there around 8:00 normally but the weather drops a bit at around 10:00 so might be 9ish will sort it out tomorrow ,have you heard of anything coming out Paul or is it just see what happens once we're out there

Sounds like a sensible plan! Pmd you my phone number, not got yours.

If it looks like a go I will aim to get to the club for just before 8

I've heard of the odd Bass off the beach and a ray or two further out

Don't think the tope are up here yet but I am taking whole mackerel and tope rigs with big 'ooks ( and some very small hooks !)
I had my best Bass on the boat about this time last year!

Haven't been able to get any crab but I'm thinking I'll try and please all the fish all the time

Paul

May 3rd 2014 up the Dee!

I want another!

We're looking ok at the moment I will let everyone know tomorrow
If we're on or not fingers crossed chaps
