A Double and a Trebble

Managed a day off today so decided on a visit to "the back of Asda" Kinmel Bay with Hot Shot Alan for company

The conditions were awful with a very strong and cold North Westerly wind doing its best to blow the rods over with a shower or two of rain thrown in for good measure

The Sea was a mass of White Horses with big waves crashing onto the beach sending spray in every direction and at first look it seemed almost unfishable, the thought that we wouldn't be able to keep a bait pinned to the bottom crossed both our minds which on my first cast I didn't but on the second cast I let the wind take a load of line out so I had a sort of uptide effect which worked a treat

Alan was using fresh Lug and I had frozen with a bit of Squid too.
I started off with a big bait hoping for a Codling but after a few fruitless casts I changed over to a three hook flapper, Alan was using a two hook flapper.

After almost 4 hours of fishing but mainly chatting and catching up we both blanked
Alans fresh lug was coming back in untouched as was my frozen

So there it is.....
Alans two hook flapper was a double blank and my three hook flapper gave me the trebble

It was as always just good to be out and with good company too












(Note the rainbow landing on Notbads house showing us all where the Gold is  )

great report and pics Dave shame the fish didn't show but like you say it's not all about that

you can't beat a bit of surf but that was more than a bit. I can't thank you enough for texting me with the invite to go fishing its just as well we had a lot to talk about it took our minds of the wind rain and the lack of fish but still a great day out nice report and pics dave

Great report dave bad luck on the blank
but not a bad way to spend your day off

Very good reort lades ,its not all about caching fish!! The sea looked good for a codling our two,hard luck.really missing my sea fishing. Cant wait get my car fixed .really enjoying my pike fishing though .roll on late april when the bass are back ..

Well done on a good report and pictures brave for trying in those conditions.
