Rhos 29/30 april

So after a disappointing session at the Foryd we took on Rhos on Sea for the night session. The bulldozers were working away on the second phase of the new sands and a lot of fishing spots are also blocked off by boulders so we settled for the only section of Rhos fishable. All night we were pulling in pin whiting with a fair number of decent sized ones thrown in and a little after midnight I struck into an angry doggie...Decent size and full of fight he went home. We used frozen and fresh fishbait, frozen and fresh lug and frozen and fresh peeler... fair to say we could have stuck anything on and caught tonight.

Foryd 29/4

Today a friend and I fished the Foryd or the Blue Bridge between Rhyl and Kriminal Bay. This is the mark I learnt to sea fish and where I have my personal best eel from so holds a special place in my heart. We both fished flapper rigs mine being double hooked with smallish hooks baited with lug and peeler - this didn't work on this occasion and my friend single hook flapper with lug and peeler alternated also blanking. It was a lovely day and we both caught the sun but enjoyed the day none the less. Tonight is the midnight tide at Rhos on Sea and hopefully the south westerly will bring the fish in.
