High Hopes Over Low

Subject: High Hopes Over Low Wed Jun 24, 2009 11:48 pm

Venue - Kinmel Bay
Tide - Low
Time - Day
Bait: Live Shrimp
Date: 23rd June 2009

Todays big tide mean't that in theory, a good cast may get close to the drop off.
400yds West of the Trolley, Smoothound was the intended target.

With flat calm conditions and armed with a pair of Speedo's, I was able to wade out the best part of a hundred yards.
A clipped down Pennel streamlined things and I gave it my best shot.

Simon was fishing too.
With an enviable pendulum cast, he outcast me without even getting his feet wet!!!!!!!

I had a few casts without interest until I finally had a good knock.
A right good knock actually!!!!!!

I ran for the rod and in doing so caught sight of a cheeky bait digger giving my line a good tug!!!!!!
Git!

That was to be the last bit of excitement for me.

I left Simon to fish the tide further in.

Happy Days!!!

if he gets a new rod and multiplier and learns to pendulum cast whilst 100 yards out in his speedos he'll definitely get them.

but where's the fun in that?

Booked a long weekend, I'll be there on 22.8!

"150 yards", mmmm. is the kite fishing plan still up in the air???

Sat 8th August should also be interesting fishing, because its the day of The Rhyl Airshow (maybe not a good day to try kite fishing though)

Southerly might blow the fish off shore, but we could always reverse polarity on the windfarm.
