I have been in chartering for a lot of years now and never know weather like this drag on for so long it did look like there as a light at the end of the tunnel next week but that looks out of the window now sea -otter is booked every day now and there is a lot of disapointed lads a complete contrast to last spring GFS pressure charts are fairly good have a look its northeast after northeast and even snow.

GFS model forecast - mslp- cloudiness - precipitation - North Atlantic and Europe

not a pretty picture,paul.

not only dissapointed lads,given that this is how you and other skippers make a living,i guess theres a few unhappy bank managers too
 
Totally agree this crap weather must be costing you skippers a lot of money. Not to mention all the dissapointed anglers
 
Luckily no weatherman can forecast two weeks ahead. They struggly with tomorrow!!
I rather believe a farmer or a seaman than the BBC or metoffice.

Most accurate I find buoyweather and they do not bother with more than 5 days.

Only needs a butterfly effect and you might have the best ever season!
 
As i said on other threads they have predicted one of the windiest summers on record this year due to the air steams around the UK, i fear alot of us will be looking at 2010/11 catch reports for large chucks of this year.

2011 from season start to 1st of May Stingray trips 11, fish 178
2012 from season start to 1st of May Stingray trips 3, fish 16

people laughed about global warming a few years back and its not going to get any better when you look at amount of pollution around the world.As you say paul most the regular charter boats are well booked with skippers not making a living and they still have bills to pay
fingers crossed it sorts its self out soon
 
the barra weather forecasting stone is always spot on when I am up there...

Really sorry this weather sucks for all you skippers and anglers, I hope it pick up for you, i really do!! I rely on your catch reports to keep me going through the summer!!!!
 
BBC says winds from the north most of the summer due to the jet streams as they are not moving like they should do. Sure we will get some windows soon thou, if not am going out with knee pads and a life jacket in any sea below 4ft :)

Cannot come soon enough Richy m8 bored stiff hanging around waiting but we have to grin and bear it :eek::eek::eek:
 
Tell me about it, every weekend i dont use the boat works out about £58 wasted based on fishing the av 48 days a season divided by the cost of the fee's and insurance.

Good job i love fishing or i would be taken up golf of train spotting :)
