Guernsey 2013

Now a question for the boaters / marine experts: today I want to go to a spot where the ideal tide would be about a 2.6, whereas the low will be a 1.8. So if I recall the rule of twelfths correctly, to calculate when it will be this height, you divide the difference between the morning's high of 8.8 and the low of 1.8 I.e. 7/12 or 0.58. 1 hour before low will be 1.8 +0.58= 2.38 and 2hours 2.38+ 2x0.58= 3.54 so my ideal height would be about 1 1/4 hours before the low, I.e. 2.38 + 0.29= 2.67? There's probably a way of calculating it exactly using algebra but I just wanted to check I'm roughly right. And yes, I do realise that although the height may be ideal for weed beds etc, it won't be the same degree of slackness, if that makes sense, as if the low was actually a 2.6.
Or am I talking a load of bow locks?

As you point out a 1.7 tide will offer very different conditions that a 2.6 but perhaps it will be better...only one way to find out mate.

see you there at 1 o clock then Colin

we got taught about secondary ports and calculating the tide height using that method, i think i've not looked at a secondary port table since lol...

Mart, i will have a video with the fish result from our boat trip shortly...

Err.. Did you add an hour for BST Jonny? I make it 2.15 and no, I'll be at the other place!

Going to be in Guernsey for a week from the 21st for my uncle's 70th and will be doing a bit of diving. Would be great to meet up with some Guernsey spearos again, you were so welcoming when we all invaded for the deeperblue meet last year. Anybody up for an evening/night dive?

Hi Tom, its the Gsy bass festival [angling] that week so i will be on the water, rather than in it. Would be good to catch up with you tho

 

[misterlizard]

Definitely, I'll get in touch nearer the time.

 

[foxfish]

O no the anglers will be hurling rocks at you Tom! by the way the fish in was last week...we missed you!

Thanks Martyn. i was sad to miss it this year, but couldn't come over twice in a month. Looking forward to next week though...

Great video Jonny
Went for a hunt around on Thursday night, loads of bait fish, shoal of about 7 school bass went past, but not a lot else around, got the usual fish if anyone is able to guess what that was...

 

[manalive!]

Looks like a mullet to me.

 

[foxfish]

No that's a 'silver mullet' that's the latest chef name!

Ahem, 'Silver Sea-Mullet'

Ahem, 'Silver Sea-Mullet'

I think it is now pronounced ( in an exaggerated Clouseau accent ) "moo ley" it doubles the price !!! ££$$$

 

[scrumpy]

Ah yes but is it a thick, thin or golden??
I'm going for a golden

 

[westcoaster]

Yep no idea how anyone guessed that, will have a pic with a big bass by the end of this year, mark my words

It would be very confusing to have a GOLDEN SILVER SEA MULLET !!

 

[scrumpy]

Or golden silver slimy sea mullet or are we starting to be a bit daft!!
Rick Stein might struggle to make that a seller in Padstow, funny bunch those Merry Jack bunch.
