llandudno pier

Well I decided to use my llandudno pier ticket first time this year as I have always had one since they started years ago I just haven't got round to fishing it as its always been busy at weekends so I decided to have A fling as usual I fished the top end I decided to use my small rods +fish next to the pier legs +one about 10 yards out I was trying to see what was the smallest weight I could use at the side of the legs as I wanted this one to just bounce around a little A x1oz the other was A 3oz breakaway as I new there were A few snags around the spot I would be putting that one this rig had A rotten bottom on it (5lb rotten bottom) there were some lads at codling corner (back of the first kiosk) +A couple fishing of the road wall It was A cracking warm still night And I couldn't believe no one was up at the end as I walked up I had A choice of fishing the pub side corner but I knew it would race through there as it went out and flooded so I opted for the cafe as I know the sea bed pretty well there,the rigs were 30lb bodies 25lb snoods (because of the distance from water up) when lifting the fish small sakuma hooks tied wishbone style with bait floats added , it was 10,30pm when I set up and as expected I never had A bite for the first hour just crabs striping the hooks after 10 mins I did have A good size crab on but it fell of as it hit the railings as I lifted it over well big enough to eat (I wouldn't ) As the water rose I was confident of a fish + then A cracking pull down on the near rod it bent the rod right over then fell slack I reeled in to find the hooks on the wishbone gone I think probably a small fish took the bait +a conger took the small fish ,AS the tide was near high water the fish started to feed proper I took a few pics of some fish but not all [img][/img]
