[quote name='colin' post='8493' date='Apr 22 2007, 07:46 PM']Thanks Richard,
I'll give them a try although it may not happen on Tuesday now as the weather forecast is not that good and they may cancel. I'll be praying to the weather gods tomorrow!![/quote]
Unfortunately the weather forecast for Tuesday was terrible ( rain, more rain and twenty knot winds) so we cancelled the comp.
I switched my leave day and went out on my own on Thursday. The guy at the tackle shop warned me that he had spent 3 hours squidding on Wednesday but did no good because the water was very dirty following all the rain. As I headed out the wind (which was not forecast) blew up and the Bay got very choppy. I went to Bare island and anchored up near the bridge. The water was still very dirty and with the chop it was like being in a washing machine. I persevered for an hour and all I got was an octopus, but it sure looked like a very squiddy place and I will definitely give it another go when the water clears up. I didn't try elsewhere around the island as the water clarity would have been the same and even more choppy out in the open.
Thanks for the tips though Richard, I'll let you know how I go next time.
