Date - 11th November 2009


Went on an outing with codnchips to Menai bridge. First time we have fished here. Looked an interesting spot but we managed to blank.

Codnchips was a top chap providing me with some lugworm for nothing. In return I bought him his lunch, of course it was cod & chips.

Also dropped in at Anglesea tackle centre. Nice chap in there was telling us how well all of Anglesea was fishing at the moment. He could not believe we blanked, dogs were a certainty at that location. I explained that we never seem to be bothered by dogfish , and that we are two of the biggest blankers going.

Anyway, it was a super morning. More like June than November…

What a stunning location!!!!!!!!!
Who needs fish with scenary like that!

Lovely photos.

One of my Dads old haunts, great spot in the summer.

Hard luck on the blank.

Looks a great place is it easy access and to find?

Hi Mick,

Cross the bridge on the A55 and take immediate slip road.

Turn left at T junction then almost immediate left down a small road to a church and car parking area.

Walk down through the church yard.

It looks fishable at the point where you first get to the water. We chose to climb over a few rocks to get a bit closer to the bridge. Quite slippery underfoot tho.

If you also want the fishing shop, be aware it is not in the center of town, Shop1 Tyddyn To - Menai bridge - Anglesey - Ll59 5bg

Thanks for the info :l :

cracking pics mate shame the fish did not want to play

Cracking pictures.

Unlucky on the Blank.

But what an awesome place to fish.

looking at where you were next time go to the right just 20ft makes a hell of a difrence seems to fish better even though its a touch shallower.

Oh yes that`s one of my old haunts from about 35 years ago, we used to get some decent bass from in front of Nelson in the summer, and codling at this time of the year. There used to be a good run of codling there in February and March as well, but I think those days are gone now, sadly.
