first job mcdonalds to fill there little bellies :love: :love: :love: Arrived at the beach the wind was blowing hard more from the south so there wasnt as much life in the sea as i would of liked . met up with the lads ,then set up camp for the boys :love: :love: :love:

First job to dig some blowlug and pump some black , the boys kept them selves busy collecting old dead dryed out starfish there was tons of them littering the beach, it wasnt long before we had plenty of bait ready for are mission, all was going well untill the hevens opened it bucketed it down ,the boys then kept them selves busy sharping sticks with my knife boys will be boys ,just dont tell the health and safety officer aka mum :love: :love: :love: :love: .good job they where in the tent our it would have been an early bath.

by now boys getting bored so i lite them a camp fire you just now fires and boys go together hand in hand they where well happy collecting drift wood and chucking it on the fire, that should keep them happy till the end of the session :love: :love: :love:

cut a long story short a big blank for me ,and ther word down the beach was it fished pants , not one of my best sessions put quality time spent with my boys watching then enjoying them selfs today was worth the trip alone, plus had good craic with the lads ps thanks for the crab and baccon butties for the kids logger :dance: :dance: cant wait till next time , change of venue next time fished this venue three times on the trot now even though it is a cracking venue

nice sun set

nice report and the dad thing is spot on.

now what you need to do is this. ( my way of hopefully saving you money and catching some fishies).

dont plan a trip weeks in advance. do what i do and wait for the right weather. what you need is westerlies for a few days then calm off for a day and then go.

thats if you fish the north wales coast or western anglesey.

i no this doesnt always fall on a w/end but sometimes you get lucky. and rewarded at the same time.
do what ive always done everytime you go keep a diary. what the wind was. what the weather was. the height of the tide and time of the tide. darkness or daylight and so on.

this way you'll be able to work out the best time to go from your diary. another thing i do is keep old tide books then when you archive old reports you can check what sort of tides the best catch's were on.

what i reckon happens is when we get westerlies and its rough all the food is washed against the shore then the next day when its calmer the fish to come in to feed on it.

ive had fish as far out as 10-20 ft when its like this. i tend to fish in the dark with me h/lamp off and just hold the rod for the bass so you dont spook them.

hope this helps a bit.

It was good to see you again mate, good pics, hopefully we'll have more luck and less weavers on our next trip

I've often wondered about trying starfish for bait, with a little filleting the exposed juicy flesh would attract something surely
Probably more wEEvers (thanks for the correct spelling Tony, my bad)
