anyone no of a mark or fancy a shore outing in or around the rhyl area. because if there of shore there's got to be a gulley somewere to try.

The boats catch them in a hole which is off the end perch.

A good cast on a big tide should get you in or around this hole. Its somewhere ive meant to try for a couple of years but have never got round to it.

I think Mike and Sinbad have fished the same area and had some nice Bass from there.

I can only see it being fishable for an hour either side of low though as its pretty flat that far out.

When are you thinking of Joe?

Dickie had one from Towyn last year.

As for fishing Rhyl, as Kev said, a big tide should give you half a chance of reaching them.

One date that stands out is Saturday 22nd August 2009. The biggest tide of the year if i've got it right. 7.35am Kinmel Bay time.

I'll be there

have been told there's a hole on low water behind asda in kimnel bay. thats here i was thinking in a bout a month's time.

It could possibly be the same "hole".

Maybe one of our friendly local skippers could give us a hint?

Let us know nearer the time and i will probably meet you there Joe.

there is no "hole" its the low water mark that runs right along the coast and even on the biggest tides you are still going to need a huge cast to reach it. personally i think the best option would be to try by prestatyn sailing club because the drop off is steaper there so you might be in with more of a chance

theres a big tide in june 23-24 th both 8m at llandudno aug 21st is the big day time one 8.1 m

I still feel the urge to try Kinmel Bay

More a labour of love than anything.

Sinbad and I tried it last year.
A suitably large tide was selected.(although not the biggest of the year)
The long walk, way past the end perch, even crossing over the river to reach the furthest bank we could.
Suveran was within what seemed like casting range, although it was probably a good 500yds away.
Like the anglers onboard Suveran, we were fishing fresh crab baits on single 4/0's. We were clipped down and launching as far as we could.

We could clearly see decent fish being landed on Simons boat.
A few hours fishing was managed before the tide pushed us back.
Result for Simons crew, countles Smoothies, Ray, Doggies, Dabs, Whiting.

Result for Sinbad and I ........................................

1 Rockling!!!!!!!!!!!!

As has been said before, reaching that drop off seems to be the key.

Hey Sinbad is that the craft with fish finder on and all the other fancy bits, that you catch small bass on.

And Mike with a cheapo rod and reel, off the beach catches 10 lb Bass..

i tried fishing infront of the yaught cl
ub about 4 weeks ago and as the tide came to low there was a sand bar right in front of me about 150yards out so i waded out and casted over it but kept snagging up on it. so i went for a walk a few days ago on a bigger tide just for a look and it went all the way to the ffrith so i reckon in front of the ffrith will have a better depth of water maybe i'll give that a go one night.

If I can get some crab, I'll be giving this ago over low tomorrow (6pm ish)

I'll be at the Trolley in my Speedo's if all goes to plan.

i will. just need some more line on my reel...........not resorting to speedos

Speedos, weevers, jelly fish..

doesn't sound a good mix to me!

Watched a fishing/cooking programme last week ("somebody and somebody's big fish")
They were cooking smooth hounds!

found this mike looks like it could be a winner
