@ever optimistic the weed did build up for a bout 2 hrs mid tide but then it eased off. Low water provided the most action , one keeper bass on 2 small frozen sand eel to one of the lads. When he cleaned it , stomach contained 3 small crabs ! At the same time I lost a decent fish that had...
Heading down there tomorrow with some old fishing mates. Taking a selection of baits including fresh peeler crab . Fishing the flood tide up to HW ar about 2330. Forecast is looking good with a slight SW breeze. All the indications are positive so I'm hoping to put up a positive catch report on...
I have been using them for a few years now in different sizes and makes. Size 2 for a bunch of maddies for flounders and bass. When using blow or black lug I always use a pennel rig and either make a "worm sausage " or just hook them on the top hook and bait elastic to secure them. Almost...
Portuguese Man of War washed up. One of many . Deadly things even when dead.
4 hour session with the Novice and another new friend from the Men's Shed angling group, Gordon. Gordon is returning to sea angling after many years away. His rod bears the Woolworth brand name on it WINFIELD , pretty...
My biggest from shore or boat, caught in 2009 . 8.5lbs Size 2 circle hook loaded with maddies on a snood full of red beads meant for flounder. I recall that it was a female full of eggs and to this day I regret killing it. Took it home to weigh and that's when I realised it was a female. Had a...
Hi , the wife and I are planning a driving holiday to Scotland next September. I have got a basic itinerary set out already but I'm looking at a general fishing charter day out from either Mull, Oban or Ulapool . Some suggestions as to boats that cater for individuals with equipment for hire...
For once the weather forecast was correct :rolleyes: easterly winds and continuous rain from 9pm meant that weather conditions were against us from the start. The mark was a new one for me and the novice. I'd carried out a recce earlier in the day and had had a good brief from my bait provider...
Only works with proper Black Lug as far as I know . Blow lug just go to a smelly mush. I did take them to the beach and dropped them in to act as ground bait , didn't make any difference though .
This whole trip had a big question mark hanging over it from the off :rolleyes: Owing to some fishing commitments of their own my bait supplier had to deliver 1.5lb of quality lug worm on Saturday. Really annoyed with myself that by Monday morning it had turned to a mushy pile :mad: Just didn't...
I certainly intend to take him there when the weather is warmer and the GG's are showing . It seems at the moment the local bait diggers are having problems finding enough maddies to make it worth their time digging them . Hope the situation changes as they are definitely the top bait for the...
With a decent size tide and hopefully decent weather , yesterday afternoon saw us heading once again to ,what is now becoming, a favourite venue for two 70+ sea anglers. Two rods each;and I'm pleased to report that Veals handled the issue of the broken reel very well and Graham is now using a...
o_O More like a CHAMBER OF HORRORS:rolleyes: If you are of a nervous disposition or easily upset please read no further . The venue was once again a north Gower surf beach. HW 0300 ish with a 6.1 mtrs tide. Light south westerly wind with a 6% chance of rain through the night (That's what the MET...
I shouldn't have gone :oops: Graham , my fishing buddy, was very keen to get out and against my better judgement and 35 years worth of experience I gave in and arranged to meet him on our local surf beach . Why didn't I want to go you may ask? The tides are huge right now 8.4 mtrs on the local...
Thanks for all the useful input so far gents. Catch report from yesterday will be up in the south Wales section sometime soon. Needless to say length of snoods will be mentioned .
I'm certainly going to make more of an effort to try different lengths and record any notable differences ...
