Hi,
Best of luck with the forum.

I left Rhyl for the West Midlands in 1982 but have fond memories, as a youth of blanking at Splash Point, blanking on Colwyn Bay Pier and blanking at most venues between the two Shocked

I'll pop into the forum on a regular basis to see how you lot are getting on because reading about your antics makes up for the lack of Sea fishing around here

Welcome dugdale!

If it's blanking you want, you have come to the right place Smile

Good to hear that in some respects, things haven't changed.

Welcome Ian!

We can all relate to you with your quest to catch a fish at Splash Point.
It has to be a labour of love.
Keep putting the hour in and you will get there.

Welcome in Tony!

Good luck on the Pier tonight.
I was very tempted to join you but I'm afraid a combination of too many fishing hours this week and the obvious X-Factor/I'm a Celebrity clash has mean't that I am going to have to sit this one out.

Catch a big one!!!

Don't know if any of you already know this site www.metcheck.com
It's linked to amateur ~~meteriologists, metrologists,meteorologistss,~~ people who
predict the weather Laughing

It's very accurate

Ah, Llandudno pier, I remember it well.
Cycling from Rhyl with a few friends to Llandudno with a 12 foot telescopic rod tied to the crossbar of my 10 speed racer. Panniers full of home made weights and my old Penn Seaboy reel. A bucket of harbour rag dug from the Forydd bungeed on to the rack at the back of the bike and maybe a pack of 10 lug worms bought from Willie Roberts.
The hill at Llandulas was hard work and if I remember rightly it would take about an hour an a half to ride to Llandudno. If the tide was out we'd collect a load of mussells from the rocks next to the pier before approaching our chosen spot, just behind the cafe. Straight down the side of the pier with a size 4 hook and then the competition started. Small pollock, ballan wrasse, pouting and the odd bull head (or that's what we called them). we weren't really interested in trying for anything bigger, we just wanted to catch fish. A long ride home again at the end of the day, early to bed and up again the following morning to do it all again. That's what my summer holidays were like in the late 70s
