First macky

[endeavor16]

Went and had an hour out today,horrible NE wind with a canny swell.
Tried a couple of wrecks to no avail as the drift was over 2 knts ,
One boat did have the first macky about a mile offshore,caught by a lady
on her first ever trip.
Forecast for rest of week looks terrible so looks like a bit of graft.:red::red:

Well i had wrote last weekend off but we ended up getting out and doing some distance, this weekend once again looks a write off but will make that call late on Friday.

We seem to be getting a run of east winds at the moment.

None are great and as Paul says the best check is the head out the window the night before.

I use a few sites and get a rough idea, in my opinion the worst weather site known to man is that Magic Sea weed, cant say i have ever known it right in 8 years.

Are you sure your on the right met office page a is have just checked and showing ENE next three days with winds upto 18mph.

Forecast predicts a drop off however so fingers crossed!!!
