I dare say someone will be along to help soon (Anyone?) as they're not waters I fish. Warning: The waters around the IOW are very different from NL waters. Expect more tide, more swell and deeper water than you are used to. There are lots of charts and sailing guides that will help you, get them early and study them. Spend a while getting your safety gear up to top standard. The water will be very busy at that time of year and if the weather is fair there will be large numbers of once-a-year sailors so keep a good lookout and make sure your vhf is handy. Oh, and I hear there may be some good bass close onshore... Cheerio, -- |

first half of august.Liketo go fishing tope, ray, conger and bream. Hi Hank, I suggest that if you want tope and bream the end of May and all of June would be the best time, they tend to move around after that. I'm not saying you won't get them but they are harder to find from July on, cheers, Norman. |
