Aberystwyth 2

Aberystwyth Seconds.

Last week's first attempt & blank on this unfamiliar beach left me keen for a second try.

Better tides & a lunchtime recce over Low showed that last week I was casting on to a reef but into shallow water; moving 50 yards left and this week's tides might be more promising.


Hit the beach soon after work. No wind and bitterly cold, High Tide was about 7pm but wanting to watch the TV programme about Colwyn Bay Pier at 7.30 left just 60 minutes to offer frozen lug on a three hook flapper, size 2 hooks and sequins


Uncertain of the ground I used a plain lead, a few tweaks suggested something was about but the hour ticked by without a hook up so it was back over the road to the Marine Hotel.


Excellent vegetable samosa starter, outstanding lasagne & baked potato and a scrumptious blackcurrant cheesecake to finish washed down with a nice plump glass of red. - very nearly asked for seconds.
Gotta be an "F Word" report (Fish !) from down here soon -third time lucky?

Unlucky Paul.
There must be fish there somewhere

Yes Mike, loads of Bass and Mackerel - on the hotel menu!

You'll have to go with your conscience as to which of the 2 venues you will be visiting

To Fish..'



or to Feed...





with a bit of planning I could nip out and check the rod between courses!

Do they serve Liver?

Dunno Mike, but Hannibal Lecter was enjoying a bottle of Chianti at the next table.

Actually, come to think of it you could have hit on a way to get my bait paid for on expenses!

Calimari starter straight into a Mackerel main course.
