Hallow'een lean ( silver) fighting machine

Took the dog for a walk this afternoon and found myself strangely drawn to Splash Point where the good and great where pooling their talent to uplift a Weever





Plans were laid  for Low tonight and I joined Mehmet, Alan and Danny for a long walk out across the gullies to the furthest banks ahead of the flood.

Be warned Rhyl's Gullies are not for the uninitiated in daylight, never mind at night; there is currently a particularly sneaky extra deep double gulley trap in front of the Sun Centre that floods behind you to cut off your retreat if you tarry too long on the outer banks

I'd found a tip light on the beach -  looking suitable for Hallow'een



Not a fan of the clip on sort off the beach, it's too easy to forget to remove it before casting.

First cast 90 minutes before Low and the rod tip was bouncing like a good 'un

A dab to ensure no blank tonight


Second cast, oops! -  forgot to remove the clip on tip light which promptly disappeared!

Fishing tonight was to a sound track of carrumps, bangs and bright fizzes, judging by the fireworks it seemed more like Guy Fawkes Night than Hallow'een. Meanwhile overhead passing Chinese lanterns and occasional meteors added to the atmosphere.

Fishing was a bit slow to start with but I think everyone broke the duck with something ashore before the Moon rise and tide turn



Next up a good bite and a Plaice for my species hunt




A stonking Dab for Mehmet


Nearly tricked into grabbing an in swinging Weever!  Another score for my species count


The Whiting put in a show


Now this looked like being the year that I failed to catch my favourite, but tonight I was in for a treat, as I'm winding in I'm thinking this is not fighting remotely like a flattie and I was right!



A Hallow'een lean fighting machine and my third additional species count of the night

46cm


I'm grinning wider than a carved pumpkin!

Great report & photos Paul that's a cracker of a session you've had there an oceanic mixed grill well done

Some stonking fish there well done Pumpkin

The trick with those lights is to attach it just behind the second eye from the tip with a bit of insulation tape then 1. it wont fly off and 2. its far enough back not to interfere with your line as you cast

Great report Paul

Great report and pictures Paul a nice mixed bag always adds to the interest.

And to junk the twin bells Quasimodo!

I use a low profile chemical light holding tube that goes exactly where you suggested, I offset it slightly left ( I cast from the right) although I've found PTFE tape better than insulation tape for getting a good secure fit it's been on there about 3 years now and no need to spoil the rod with glue, not as bright as battery indicators but the chemical lights are reliable and if you keep them cold they last a week
