20/07 Porth Erias

A spot of maccy bashing off the block past Porth Erias yielded one joey for myself as we didn't have the best location to fish from and had none fisher folk with us whilst a friend on the new sands caught a small flatty on feathers. He insists it wasn't foul hooked but never saw him remove the hook. 

19/07 rhos on sea

We did a spot of maccy bashing and we got nowt - the folk 40 yards down had two joeys and a few further towards the Cayley had 3 or so... Need to prep some feathers for tomorrow then back out in the morning

What we have all been waiting for.

Shore caught mackerel yesterday went ballistic - this is what we have been waiting for and the massive spike in temps. has brought them in. I shall be hitting the shore either tonight or tomorrow with crab and feathers.

A massive session

We have decided today 12/07 to do an all dayer.

First venue. Llandudno pier. We fished 2 hours up and an hour down, as the end jetty had been closed as the new boats are coming in there are 2 sections to the side now cordoned off for fishing. Out of all the people fishing I had the only fish, a little scorpion fish. The whole sea was full of jellyfish which were mullering the rigs. We tried lug, rag and peeler, the only bait to work was rag. I tried feathering and had one attack on them but nothing forthcoming.

We tried low tide at splash point but couldn't cast past the sand bars and got sunk in the quicksand so turned that out off as a bad job.

Final trip out of the day we hit the arches. 2am ish high tide - not a knock on lug, rag or peeler until the final hour when I landed a 5lbish Smoothhound. This fell to flapper with peeler crab. Talking to other anglers Maccies had been caught earlier in the day to feathers and a dogfish to another angler.

All in all a good days fishing increasing this years species by two.

Sunday 7th

We arrived a little after high tide at the arches usual baits usual rigs and I had one positive knock but that was it as the tide retreated quickly. My partner in crime was starting to get vexed by the tourists on the scortching hot day so we went back to the tackle shop and got more bait to fish Penrhyn at low tide. This was to be a mistake. We chose to the left of the breaker where I caught a bass several weeks ago. It was snag after snag with heavy rocks and weed everywhere. When we finally got close to the low tide mark we were just getting caught in a rock bank which blocks off the end of the mark. We lost so many rigs that it ruined the day in the end. A lesson learnt though - stick to the right of break.

Fishing With Family. 2/7/13

So our kid comes down for the night and we had nothing better to do so we grabbed us some peeler from Rhos Point fishing shop and hit Rhos prom. 2 flapper rig with peeler as is usually the case. First bite our kid hit. A nice little plaice of about 1lb. We had a couple more bites but nothing produced. We also tried spinning on a light rod which produced nothing. The other anglers on the prom caught nothing
