Fishing

Venue:Pensarn
Day: Saturday evening
Tide:2 Hrs down to low + 2 Hrs up
Bait:Fresh lug & frozen mackeral
Target Species:Fish

After buying a new rod in January I've been itching to to try it out and finally managed to borrow a fixed spool reel to go with it (I'm a try before you buy kind of guy). Now that the new kitchen is finished, daughters room decorated and re-furnished I had no excuse but to say yes when my lad, Tom told me we were going fishing - he's as big as me now and can be quite persuasive.......

Weather was fine, wind moderate and waves breaking from the east (might be me but never a good sign).

Set up and cast in by the pipes. First cast my rod tip dipped and the rod jumped in the rest - blood rushing, I grabbed it only to realise a seagull had flown into my line. Next cast, nothing. On the turn we both had some small bites but nothing hooked. An hour into the flood Tom had a rattle but no fish again.

Neither of us had waders so we left before the tide pushed in too deep behind us.

So in all, not a bad night. Didn't catch our target species, but avoided Strictly Come Dancing and X Factor which is a result (isn't it?).

(No pictures as there was nothing to take a picture of)

Toms the tonic we all need
Hard luck on the blank boys
It's the getting out that counts

Great title

Hard luck on the blank boys better luck next time

Those target species can be elusive

Probably just out of practice................like me

You got out there,that's got to be a bonus

Better luck next time

I get a lot of days like that but the views always nice.

Unlucky on the fishing Arwel well done on missing the telly though

Thanks everyone!
