how long will the swell last ? any ideas

[keithm]

anybody no is it days or weeks? as in over 20 yrs of boat fishing i,ve never been sea sick, but swells frighten me to bits lol. i keep thinking the boat will capsize at any time, i know it dont bother the skipper but i cannnot fish when theres a swell on

i no expert mate but i think as soon as the wind changes westerly the swell should die down

Nice one sless, pleased yous got out. I changed my routine cos of the comp on sunday so had other things on today ...

Still, should get out tomorrow anyway (sunday) are yous still fishing it?

 

[KeithB]

We'll still be fishing the comp in 2 weeks Norman.

Sless is gonna post the catch report for today, but we had a canny morning AND a lie in lol.

 

[Norman]

Aye Keith we got a late start tomorrow (8.00) due to the tide.
Was the catch in the usual places, thought of going south a bit tomorrow

 

[KeithB]

Nothing in the hot spot but too much tide, only one down south, but 3 mile wrecks produced

sorry Keithm, hijacked your thread, back to the topic ................. there`s been a bit westerly (turned NE at end of day) so a lot of the swell is off if I`m not mistaken at the moment. Fingers crossed the wind remains down during the night and it`ll flatten off nicely

 

[KeithB]

Yeah sorry Keithm, swells weren't too bad today, should be even better by tomorrow.

 

[Norman]

cheers Keith will let you know how it goes ..........
Gonna try to catch a picture of camera shy Frank tomorrow . wish me luck.

 

[KeithB]
