MIDWEEK TRIP: MATCH ABANDONED

[TC]

Alan,
The lads may well get out, m8.
Just got back in from Shields Pier after using up my unused bait from thismornings trip out........sea was FLAT...... :casstet: :casstet:

Are you going out on Mistress, Alan?

If so, give Tony my regards......haven\'t had a chance to speak to him for ages.......He\'s a really nice bloke !!

Ell, that\'s the 1st time I\'ve even felt a little queezie when out on a boat......it\'s not a nice feeling, but once it was up, I was fine. I remember the Amble comp, last year.......a guy on our boat (Mistress, as it happens), was ill from the 1st drift \'til we headed back in (several hours later). The day flew by for me, but it must\'ve seemed like a lifetime to him. Never having experienced seasickness before, I can now appreciate what that bloke must\'ve gone through.

No way has it put me off, though..........looking forward to the next trip out, already...........anybody wanna sort one out ????

I turned up in summer gear after reading all the forecasts. TC & son started donning loads of wet gear at Mill Dam & I was thinking \"aren\'t they overdoing things a bit ?\" once we left the Piers & got owa the bar I realised immediately how wrong I was
I stood at the back of the boat & got drenched by splashes as the boat rode the waves (didn\'t I TC )
I think that Northerly swell tricked us all by washing down the coast. Alan said it wasn\'t forecast & looked \"sick\" as he explained to me. I think he knew straight away that we wouldn\'t be out long but did his best. He\'s a top bloke with a gr8 sense of humour. To stand there takin the p**s out of us as we got thrown about was gr8
I think the bookies will hate me as I was odds on to chuck 1st but held on to beat the odds, LMAO
The trick is to NOT have any breakfast until your out there & know it\'s safe to eat
I\'d love another chance to get out there but will stand down & give someone else a go as I went on the last 2 trips. Let me know if there\'s a place gannin spare if u book another trip, TC

PS: I think the kids had the benefit of a lower centre of gravity, LOL

PPS: I reckon it would be a good idea to swap phone numbers for the next trip out to save any disappointments. Ell (& anyone else) PM me ya mobile number

if you dont eat anything and you then try to puke it hurts like hell.best to eat something lite an hour or two before you go then if you do have to puke you can do with out retching your guts.

 

[TC]

That\'s the way I look at it, Ken.
If you\'re gonna bring something up, it\'s best that there\'s something there to come up, otherwise, as you say, it can AND DOES knack ya guts :exclam:

 

[Marc]

I never had any breakfast yesterday, still didn\'t stop me bring up Tuesday nights supper mind !.


Took the dogs along the beach tonight... Sea flat as a, Well whatever you want it to be as flat as. Surfers were complaining, there was even people going out in kayaks. It was lashing down though.

And found this silly bugger, said the water was really warm, YEAH!
Tynemouth Baywatch, Trainers, Berghaus, Jogging bottoms and Kelp.

That sea state looks a hell of a lot better than Wednesdays.

Got a phone call from Alan Skinner this morning, he\'s managed to conjure up 2 place for tomorrow.

So me and Mr. Brown\'s out after the biggies, although if he beats his Cod PB I\'ll be well miffed.

Will report back how it goes.

 

[Marc]

Ian, The photos don\'t really do it justice, Hardly any wind either, With westerlies forecast for tomorrow as well, should be OK.

Lucky B~~t#rds

 

[KeithB]

Ian, if I beat my PB tomorrow, I\'ll pack up fishing and take up shooting the pigs overhead - lol

 

[TC]

Good luck for tomorrow lads (ooops....today, now)
Hope you have a better day than we did on Wednesday.

 

[TC]

Haway then lads..........where\'s the catch report????..... :exclam:

 

[KeithB]

Not good Tony! only two pollack caught all day. The sea was flat but it was blowing a gale and the fish just weren\'t feeding. Good news is, my new waterproofs ARE actually waterproof.

Hope it\'s died down a bit for this morning!
