Seafisher: My dad once told me that in the olden days (mythology) there use to be winds called NORTHERLIES which apparently came every winter stirring up the sea and cod were caught off the shore.

I said 'BOLLOCKS, you had me going for ages about Santa so I'm not falling for that bulls#it'.
 
Fozally: Just wait until the summer time when everytime I decide to go spinning and want a flat clear sea, or decide to go boat fishing you can bet there will be a full blown north easterly, the sea will be mountainous and as murky as can be for days on end! You've got to see the funny side of it though? I suppose it's one of natures ways of protecting the fish!
 
the notherlies are definately coming. The nights are getting lighter, and the boat season is approaching so, guaranteed northerlies and easterlies from march to october. so while the sea will run nice, all the fish will have buggered off offshore for a shag and some R&R, so you'll not get a sniff from the shore and the boats won't be able to get out

cynical?? me??
 
pleased they are on their way but it bugs the arse off me when they only come when im at work and cant get out.i think someone up there doesnt like me:( :( good luck lads if you can get out ill be rooting for you hope you get a big one
 
The Northerlies seem set for Monday but by the looks of the forcast there will be an even bigger sea over next weekend coming from the SE.

Let's hope they both bring the fish with them!
 
Drove down the Spine Road this afternoon and chimneys were showing the wind from aroun NW, bit stir starting on the sea.

Came back up tonight and wind is SW (too dark to sea conditions), where's the Northerlies :question:
 
Yeh once again the forcast seems to be wrong, might still go out tomorrow night though will have dropped right back then. Forcast still looks spot on for the weekend though, wind turning into the East on Thursday then ESE right over the weekend, sea forcast to pick up on Thursday / Friday but really rough on Saturday / Sunday.

Here's hoping!
