Perfect tides and decent weather

I can't make it myself unfortunately,but Friday,Saturday Sunday and Monday will be perfect for fishing at Connahs quay.
High tides are around midday
Fishing one hour before high and two to three hours after would be my recommendation.
Flattie rigs with beads and flashing blades,and Black lug with Squid/mackerel strips as bait.
Of course I can't guarantee you wont blank
The tide slows down one hour before slack water then there is an hour of slack water.The tide goes out slower than it comes in by quite a margin.
For those interested look up "Willy Weather"and request Connahs Quay.
If you go on 'Graphs'the five day forecast is available,and you can move your curser to different tide heights for the time of day.
If you give it a go,don't forget to let us know how it went.
Take some 4oz to 6oz leads.(grippers to hold bottom)

I was cycling nearby yesterday afternoon. There is an interesting structure a bit further upstream, by Shotton Clock Tower. Never seen anyone fishing here.

Not sure that you can drive to right by it at the moment. The clocktower is under renovation though. Once complete I understand it is for some community uses. On that basis the access road should be open.

I've fished that mark in the second pic about 4yrs ago.You can get to it by going over the blue bridge and then turning left.(Queensferry)
The road leads to a couple of factories and offices and is right next to the river.
Had a couple of Flounders,but there were fish jumping all over the place.

I think I have the wrong mark
But there are old structures all the way to Queensferry that are very similar.
There's a decent fishing shop near the supermarkets in Queensferry.
Black lug etc. (on the main rd)

If you put Queensferry in the search on this forum we have 3 reports from the general area,
There used to be a video of the Dee Bore tidal event on here but can't find it ( maybe a previous blog rather the current forum?)

I was trying to find out something about the history of the timber structures really, not found much so far, but there is some interesting YouTube footage within this link to Sealand's History and about the blue bridge crossing the Dee at Queensferry

The docks this far up the Dee were for the steel works. Bit more history for you here.

The clocktower is a busy place at the moment with all the renovation work that is going on. I think the dock that I took the picture of is the furthest upstream dock remaining on the river before Chester. On the pictures on this link it is just visible on the third row up from bottom.
