Few sessions from over the Easter holidays when I've taken my son out. To say he's 'Hooked' would be an understatement!! All he talks about is Fish, and Fishing, sometimes he stunns me lol!! Cracking flounder for him off Aberafon. Taken on sticky blacks close in. Daddy blanked ??? and I...

Took my boy down there the other day, 1 flounder for me. The boy had a cracking slack line bit that failed to connect. Not enough surf for my liking at the moment, need the winds to go a more SW direction for a bit I think. Nice easy beach to fish though.

HR Jones, Clydach, Swansea. It's tucked away above a hardware store, an absolute Aladdins cave of tackle and bait!

Thanks, yeah he loves it, new rod on his santa list? And the flounder tasted great!

Yes, have bought frozen black lug off ebay sellers, recently clivefoster76. Well packed good value, big nice worms. Live rag, Dragon Baits are 5 min up the road ftom me ??

Yes that is a worry lol

Took my youngest (6yr old) for his 1st session targeting Flounder up the Loughor estuary. Bit of a different experience for him, as I normally take him to our local surf beach. And I'm more of a 4/0 hooks 6oz lead kind of guy. Plus Mud instead of sand lol. Target acquired 2nd cast for him, and a...

It kind of works, I always remember my nan doing it that way. The boiling water removes all the scales (or denticles in dogfish case) not the actual skin and partiality cooks them.

Angling Active. Found a voucher code for a £5 off, which covered shipping really. 54.99 all in.

Got a mk2 delivered. I think it'll be perfect. Slim, light, not too long. The reel seat to but cap distance is just about right. The quality of finish isn't great, and a bit garish but for a 50 quid rod I'd expect that.

No solo mission today, he was in school. He wasn't happy I caught fish without him lol.

Aberavon is the only open beach I can really fish at the moment due to restrictions in place. The Dogfish are in! Kept me busy, and hoping for a thornback in between them today. Didn't happen though. Stopped counting after number 10 lol! Fished 3 down to low, 2 up. Last hour went very quiet.

Thanks, I'll check those out too.

Thanks. I'm struggling to find anything else to be honest.

My son is really getting into his fishing now, and want's a rod for his birthday or xmas (2 days apart!). He's 6 and a little doot. He's been using my 9ft spinning rod to lob baits and 2-3oz, 20-30yds into the surf, catching schoolie bass flatties and even little rays. He's hooked! I tried him...
