Re: Formby Sat Night
I was thinking the same but may try New Brighton as I don't know the beach too well at Formby.

Re: Formby Sat Night
You`ll get rays,dogs and a good chance of hounds at Perch Rock,and the breeze should be behind making it comfortable....my advice is fish @50 yds to the left of Brazil buoy,oh and get down handy to get your spot. I`m expecting little at Formby (best way) but hoping for a good size bass.wrasseman wrote:I was thinking the same but may try New Brighton as I don't know the beach too well at Formby.

I might hook you Kev, although if it calms just a little I might try tomorrow morning. Had a few decent schoolies between 40 and 43 yesterday morning, so they are around. Conditions look about perfect for them.

I’ve got a few peeler I’ll bring along too pal. No harm in having fresh peeler if we’re hunting bass!Big Kev wrote:Mick (Bluecat) is dusting off his gear too......i`ve got a few razor in the freezer that could be the answer on Sundaybootster wrote:I might hook you Kev, although if it calms just a little I might try tomorrow morning.

Took a look down Blackpool at low earlier, gear in tow just in case. Sea looked good, but I didn’t fancy being grit blasted for a few hours so turned around and headed back. Hopefully it’ll die off a bit tomorrow and I’ll get out for a warm up before Sunday.

Haven’t managed to get out since lockdown eased and only have frozen at the moment but really fancy getting out on a proper beach so may join you

Re: Formby Sat Night...now Sunday
I'm only using one rod Ste so they'll be no problem pumping enough lug for both of us

Re: Formby Sat Night...now Sunday
Kev and the rest who intend fishing Sun night just a heads up i have been out this morning too retrieve some test pots.
And it looks very rough out still not sure if this will calm down enough for you ? fishing could be hard work.
A load of us going out on the rock channel on Monday.
Cheers Brian.
Ps no signs of weed on our beaches But then again its a west wind will blow it your way.
