The Good old Cheese Toastie

I met up with Saabnut this morning to fish an hour either side of low at kinmel Bay hoping to catch something for breakfast but it was a dead loss with no wind and no waves it was flat calm

James was fishing with freshly pumped lug and i was using frozen lug and Mackerel but nothing was getting a bite

It was a lovely morning to be out though and the company was great too


















At 9.15 with no fish caught for breakfast it was time to go home and have cheese toasties and coffee instead      



Good to have met you at last James  
Tight lines

looked a nice morning to blank lads
great report and pics again dave

Cheers Dave great to meet you too!!

Really enjoyed getting out there this morning even with the lack of fish, does the shrimp count??  

Sort another session out soon

It was the colour of Jameses rod scaring all the fish away

Haha only colour electrical tape I had

pity about the blank Dave but it looked a nice morning to be out sorry i couldn't make it

Nice report and pictures Dave shame you both had no luck.

I got some artificial prawns from China,they really look the part,they are just a little bit luminous in the body and on the feelers.They are about 3" long with a stainless steel wire and a luminous bead,can't wait to give them a try.
I think they will probably work in freshwater as well,for pike,perch and chub.

If they have a luminous bead they must be good

Yes I've got some of those, off EBay via a UK stockist, haven't given them a proper try yet, I imagine they'd need to be twitched rather than static, Foxons in St Asaph have smaller shrimp flies that look the part too.

I got 10 for £7 direct,I had to wait a couple of weeks but it was miles cheaper than via a Uk stockist.
I think used in the right terrain,say rocky and sandy spots near the shore they should work a treat.
I know they use prawns in Cornwall quite a lot with good results.

Great report Dave, shame the fish didn't show,unlucky lads

Nice report & photos unlucky on the fish lads
