Night Boat Fishing at Blackwall
Submitted by dannyg on Fri, 2013-11-15 01:06
Hi guys
i only have a 12 ft dinghy and was thinking about going fishing tomorrow night (end of uni exams). I was thinking of doing a night fish at Blackwall reach but am a bit concerned about the winds which are about 20 knots easterly to east south east. Can anyone please tell me whether it would be too rough with that type of wind in a tinny.
thanks

If you slip the tinny in at
If you slip the tinny in at chidley point and fish BWR youl be fine in an easterly or south easterly the wind will be blowin over the top of the cliffs. A stiff wind from the north east or south west however would be a different story. Use a map and work out where the wind will blow. Enough wind over enough water over enough time can blow up seas, nasty ones even in the river, every boaty needs to understand this, especially small boat owners
