Kinmel Bay over high

Possibly ... yes !

How about as a provsional.........................

As Mark suggested, (although I make high water at 1120 AM)
Sunday, 28th December.
Fishing 2hrs before till 1 1/2hrs after.

Fishing either Kinmel Bay or Splash Point.
Both are easy access.

What do others think

second thoughts might it be better to fish a night tide..........as you know splash point seems better at night

I'd probably prefer the midnight tide, but it may be more practical for others to fish earlier on in the day.

What do people think?

You may get the odd fish in daylight but loads more in the dark!

Im easy, any venue, any time

I'm happy for those with a journey to lead the way on which tide.

Looks like Sunday 28/12/08 seems to be most popular date & Splash point the venue . How about 9pm meet, wet the lines 9.30 & see what happens .
I think we also need someone to have the last word on the weather , no point people travelling if the weather conditions are too bad

I'm fine with that.
Sunday 28th December - Start fishing 9.30pm (ish)

See you all there!

is your dad comin to kev?

Probably not, he doesnt do late Sunday nights when hes got to be up at the crack for postying on a Monday. Old age! Theres a good chance he`ll take the dog for a late walk though.

Great stuff


For those that don't know, Splash Point is the Easterly end of the prom.
Parking is free(after 6pm) on the promenade in Rhyl.
I'm sure, if I ask nicely, Tony will put up an aerial photo of the mark.

See you all there

I hope to be out. (Just got to sort someone to bring musselboy home after his swimming training.)

I have not been before ...so ... seriously... a map could help me.

This is Tony's 'Flashy Light' image.
It is the far eastern end of Rhyl Promenade (Marine Drive).
Parking is free at night.

Looks like it's going to be a fresh one

I'll be there for 9ish, see you all there.

Hi Codandchips,

If you are who I think you are ... don't forget to bring my bait!

... Musselman (Ironman uk 2009 entrant)

Im going to start putting clothes on now, see you all there about half nine

Good turnout last night. Little to show in the way of fish but was good to be out.

Especially well done to codnchips. I think this might have been first time night fishing for him. No injuries caused to him or others, no tackle lost, casting further than me (ok..ok... no great achievement there), and he only crossed one line all night!

I was the second one to arrive...James had done a recce and was already in position reserving his chosen peg even with the water still on the horizon; from what I saw he then proceeded to catch more than the rest of us put together, an impressive bit of spot choosing and tactics there James!



Wishing I could have stayed longer, 'twas a very enjoyable meet.

An enjoyable evening but VERY cold, and quiet on the fish front.

It was nice to speak to those of you i did, and those i didnt theres always next time.

A last cast pin Whiting saved the blank.

I was a bit disappointed at losing a rig due to a dodgy leader knot, but ive just come back from the beach, where said rig was recovered, along with a nice Dab ( called Kev )of about 10 ounces that had unfortunately been exposed on this mornings low.
Im sure the Gulls or crabs will make light work of it.

Well done to James on all his fish!

I think im going to leave it until after a good north westerly blow before i fish there again, and hopefully it will be a bit warmer by then too.

Happy Days!!!
