Garbage

I went fishing on the Rhos on sea promonade today, as I approached the pollution which wasn't there a couple of days ago was evident. Some people claimed it to be algae - but from my experience algae doesn't contain rubbish and some less savoury items floating within it. Anyhooo I used a two hook flapper rig with crab as the bait. There was a slight south easterly breeze which brought a refreshing air to a very hot session. I had only one little bite or it could have been a very large crab but hit into nothing. There was only one other chap fishing who turned up at high tide and feathered for mackerel with no success. High tide today was quarter to five in the afternoon and as I have maintained about this venue - the nicer the weather the worse the fishing when on the prom/beach. Well until next time... Tight lines

Applogies

Firstly I would like to say sorry that I have been absent recently, work and exam commitments married with tides I couldn't hit left me unable to fish. But today I went out sun shining to my local spot. Fished the same tactic and bait that proved successful last time and i caught... nowt. A few tentative bites to the crab on a single hook flapper rig and a lot of crab activity but other than that there was nothing but a lovely day in the sunshine on the prom of Colwyn Bay. The wind was an issue an south westerly (regardless of what the passer by said) this made it hard to tighten up to the rig with a semi constant bow in the line.I fished 1 and 2/3s up and 1 1/4 down/. I was lucky the local bait shop gave me an overload of crabs because I will be out again tomorrow and will as always keep you informed. Hope to see you on the bank soon and tight lines.
