Not a rainbow trout, so what is it?

This morning Low, Rhyl



Small tide Southerly wind, no surf.

Bass rod, small hook with lug on a running ledger close in,
beachcaster pulley rig, lug with squid sent somewhere over the rainbow


A wriggling whiting washed up as the tide turned so fish were about


Bass rod found a small codling



Mehmet turns up,
as we were chatting I told him he'd got a knock,

I wasn't wrong!


not long after he gets another!




It fetched this up, it's no rainbow trout -what is it?

nice session there lads. looking at its gills id say it was a small hag fish. (lamprey)

Geoffs did ( maybe still do) stock frozen lamprey -there's another one for the great bait debate!

Ive seen them used for Pike on the telly. Full of blood ( oviously as thats what they feed on )

There might be a firework show on the sports field of our site next fridaynight Mike will let you know if its on you could bring the kids down

Cheers for the offer Ian. Very kind of you.
We do have a date at the Brookes Field display though.
I haven't missed one for 25 years now
Well, apart from that one 10 years ago when the field was waterlogged and it was relocated to Tir Prince!
