CoastWatch - Out on the Wrasse

Wednesday.



A quick hour over mid-day High at The Yellow House on shop lug didn't produce,
nor did it for the guy to my right who'd fished Low and High ( using mackerel)

Thursday
Back to Kinmel Bay before 6am. Wind in the East.



No takers for my fresh pumped lug.



Grrrr! Need to catch fish!

Only one thing for it -a quick bacon buttie;
a re-supply at Geoffs
and head for the island -out on the Wrasse!

Arriving in Holyhead decided the breakwater was a bit predictable,
a spur of the moment diversion and discovered Porth Dafarch.

Picked a path at random -








If I'd known Mackerel Rock was across the bay I'd have taken a closer look






Ramblers, seals, swimmers, dinghies, kayaks, rock climbers and coasteerers -
it was all going off!










Lost a load of lead and a float kit for just one hook up -and that got off.





Back to the Breakie via Winnies Worms.





Loads of small wrasse from the end



- most falling to bits of rag on a small hook rigged off a 3-way swivel
and barely a 1/4 oz of lead strip to sink it.








Nothing on the outside





Made it back to SunnyRhyl from Coastwatching in time for a spot of Castwatching


-one at the Marina Apartments and two East of the pipe

Great report and pics Paul.

Good old corkwing corner does it again

A great roving session, I blanked last time I fished the BW.

Another fantastic report Paul.

Glad you had a few fish for your efforts.

No sorry, I barely knew where I was!
Porth Dafarch is a great little place, I didn't photograph the sandy bit but it's clearly a
popular sun trap, sheltered and with decent public toilets next to the beach side parking.

Sinbads an authority on Dafarch.
Spent many happy days diving the place back in the day!
