out from colwyn bay

went out on tight lines with billy today launched from Colwyn bay to give the tope a go plus a bit of drifting for bass or any thing else that was around. we started off with getting mackerel job done so we went for a drift around by the orme but only managed a codling 2 to 3 lb. we anchored up a few times and were only getting dogs with 1 or 2 nice huss. billy had a screaming run on a hole mackerel only to see a big black seal surface and spit out his mangled rig. we did get 3 tope 2 to billy and 1 to me so another great day out and got the target fish in the end. thanks billy few pics of the day

Wow another great day afloat chaps
cracking pic's and fish well done

Well done guys
If you hook a seal would that count in the species's hunt

Well done Al,some nice fish there mate

Nice Tope Al!

Well done Alan another good trip afloat.

Nice result there guys,
if it's not pinching your mark,which way did you turn when you went out of colwyn?
I've only got a golf estate,so I daren't launch off the sand at colwyn,which makes the tide window pretty short.
Is there a slip further up towards bangor that has a better window?

Another great day for you!

Thanks Alan,I suspected there wouldn't be.
It's a 100 mile trip for me to launch from Anglesea,which is a bit of a drag in one day.
Looks like it's Rhyl and a little voyage across Kinmel bay and Colwyn bay.
Maybe finding 30ft in kinmel bay might be a better bet.

Great report & photos Alan you lads sure like wrestling them tope well done chaps
