Fishing Meet 07.03.09

[coastman]

Hi all,
We have agreed to meet at Colwyn Bay at the arches on 07.03.09 at 9.00am.
Then go and fish a venue nearby.
I have the tide times based on the arches and are as follows.
High tide 07.18am and
08.02pm
Low tide 02.17pm.

Need some help on selecting a venue and some idea on how far people are prepared to travel.
Think the easy option would be to fish the arches area at high tide as theres plenty of parking.
Would had prefered a better time say low at 10am and high at 4pm which would give more options for venues.

Your opinion is needed.

Cheers Coastman

[mabski]

llandullas maybe or conwy

[coastman]

Mabski,
Cheers for the reply.
Are you coming along on the day ?
If not will see you in 09 on the Isle of Mon I hope.
Thanks Coastman

[mabski]

i might come along and wet a line
any excuse to go fishing

[coastman]

Hi,

Just wondered who intends to come on this meet.
Only had one reply to this thread and thought is there a intrest in this meet, as the initial post had plenty, or is there a reason for this.

Coastman

[tus]

deganwy north shore llandulas i will fish this one

[tony(wrexham)]

Hi coasty..if im not away will defo come along..Arches or anwhere along colwyn /rhos in daylight in March will be hard going i believe.
just a suggestion of course but think north shore will offer deeper water,with an afternoon meet to fish high water.

[coastman]

Hi all,

Mabski, Tus, Tony,
Thanks for the input.

North Shore or Llandulas is fine with me.
4pm till 8pm ?

Cheers Coastman

Hi all, Mabski, Tus, Tony, Thanks for the input. North Shore or Llandulas is fine with me. 4pm till 8pm ? Cheers Coastman

Hi all,
Will meet at one of the above venues at 4pm and fish.
But will get down at 7am to 8am and have a bash somewhere and get some bait before the meet.
Coastman

[littlemissmermaid]

I am trying to have that sat off work, so i can get there early...

[coastman]

Hi all,

Looks like the meet on the 7th is progressing nicely.
Would like to see all the threads posted here so that we all know whats going on and makes it easy for all to keep track on things.

Looking forward to the meet and deciding on which venue to fish.
Can see a vote coming on.

My mate Itcyfeet is coming so keep your shoes on.

[coastman]

Hi all,
Realy looking forward to meeting up with all of you and having a great day no matter what the weather or fish brings.
Think the main benefits are that future meets can be arranged as we know each other and can exchange knowledge and help and maybe do a fund raise meet in the future for a worthy cause.
See you soon - Coastman

Good idea coastman...

[Baldie]

Hi All,

If anyone is looking to improve their casting, I can help with that, I have been a Sea Angler casting instructor over 20 years, I enjoy helping like minded anglers improve their chances of catching.:fishing1::fishing1::fishing1::icecream:

See you all on the day

Regards

Dave

[coastman]

Baldie,
A nice gesture and I'm sure we all could improve our casting technique.
Dont forget the hard hat !

[coastman]

Hi,
Just thought of the way people bring bait for meets.
Although we bring bits from the freezer or dig our own, is it not a good idea to buy in bulk from a local supplier.
Say a cost of £5 per person who's fishing, so £50 for 10 people with a mixed bag of:
Lug, Rag, Sandeel and Squid etc, for those who have diffeculty in purchasing.
Just a Idea ?

Brilliant idea coastman. i have plenty of frozen , its the fresh i struggle to get, untill i can get out to dig my own,,, so im up for buy and share...

[coastman]

Hi,
Liz and I are up for the bulk bait buy for the meet.
Anyone want to contribute a fiver and I will place an order for some fresh lug and rag etc.
Other ideas welcome.

Otherwise bring your fork and dig as me and the queen drink tea and watch you - lol.
Coastman

[Baldie]

Hi Coastman,

I will go along with that, but one question, where do you plan to get the bait from?

Gaz from Anglesey Tackle Center does excellent bait, BIG Black Lug from Llandonna beach, and excellent Rag, he lives in Colwy Bay, and if someone got to the arches early enough, I bet he would drop it off!!

Dave

Liz,
Well done on the update.
Coastman

[coastman]

Nick and Tus,
Thanks for the offer and fine with me.
Think it is best to give time for anyone else who want to give a fiver for bait, say Friday 20th Feb 09.
I will then pay Gaz and collect the money (the fivers) on the day.
If this is ok or if there is a better way.
Thanks Coastman

[Baldie]

Coastman,

Thinking on the bulk bait buy, you will only get a couple of packs of Lug for a Fiver, it might be a good idea to collate names and then order accordingly,
i.e. I would want more than just two packs of lug, which would cost more than the fiver?
Whats your thoughts or ideas?

Dave

[Baldie]

Colwyn Bay HW. 20.00hrs, 7.9mtr on Lavers Tide Table, its only a smal tide so sourcing good bait might be a problem?

Dave

[joe roberts]

only just noticed this. with the way the credit crunch has hit us i think i will defo be having this one.

most prob join you in the afternoon and fish till late.

Baldie,
Hi mate,
Thought the benefits were-

Buyer, would get extra bait by spending more money.

Supplier, sells in bulk so quick turnover.
Potential future business.

Soz Gaz, not trying to put in a arkward position as I know its about supply and demand.

Coastman

[caiinit]

I will through a fiver in. sounds like a great idea :)

Hi Markfish,
Head up the A55 Chester direction and come off at Junction 22 Colwyn Bay and turn left at the give way.
You will then be faced with the sea 30 Metres/yards in front of you at a T junction.

Your there at the Arches.

[tony(wrexham)]

Nice to see lots of interest..has a venue and time been decided ? last I heard was an afternoon meet 4pm,with North Shore or Llandulas as possible venues?
Am I right that tide times posted was high at 8am on Sat Morning if so a later meet at Llandudno fishing up from low up could be better than Colwyn..

Hi All,

I live in Stafford but have tried to Fish off the Walsh coast in 2007 but it has been a long time since I fished in anger (well I was angry cos I caught nowt! but you get the idea) something like 20 years :ohmy:

Just bought a camper and I will be over with my girlfriend on the 7th and would like to join you guys and gals for bait and fishing, tea, chatting oh and some fishing.

I remember a few basics but would really appreciate some lessons and make some friends with similar interests and learn to, never know might be able to add something - like how not to do it!

Happy days:crazy:

Hi Coastman,

I am up for bait digging, well would like to help out and learn.

Just let us time and place also what to bring.

Slater all :)

[Baldie]

Hi Coastman,

Spoke with Gaz last Saturday Ref bait, he said that the weekend of the meet is the same weekend as the British open championships, over Yorkshire, everyone wants bait, but he said if we get the order in early enough he should be able to accommodate us, and will drop it off at a pre-arranged time and place.

So suggest we order ASAP and arrange date and time, if the meet is to be later in the day, maybey someone can pick it up from the shop? whats your thoughts??

Dave

[mabski]

i live in bangor and will pick it up for you if you want
before i come to the meet

[Baldie]

Hi Mabski,

That might be the best idea, saves someone being at the Arches 7 hours before the meet, then hanging around all day.

Dave

[coastman]

Baldie and Mabski and all attending who require bait.

Good idea !

I will pay Gaz for the 6 people who require bait, anyone else who wants to have some bait post here before tomorrow 12pm ( £5 each ).
Think its fresh Rag and Lug ?

Many thanks to all.
Coastman

Hi Coastman,

I will pay for the bait and collect the five pound on the day of the meet.

Will Gaz have fresh rag and lug say £30 worth ?

Thanks Mabski for the offer to pick up the bait.

I dont tend to dig for bait unless I'm on Anglesey and have a fews days to do this.
I just buy it as its mainly day trips I go for.
Maybe someone attending the meet can advise you on where and how to dig bait.
Some of us are putting £5 in a kitty to buy bait for the meet, so if you want to do this post before 12pm tomorrow.

What weight leads are needed as I've only fished down North Devon & the Gower where 5-6oz was needed!?

Hi Gonga,

Welcome!!

5-6 oz will be OK, maybey 4oz if the weather is calm, not too much tide run in the bay, especially with the size of tides on the day of the meet.:thumbs:

if you need a lift i can pick you up and drop you from the train st

[bobbage]

That would be appreciated Tus as I've not fished that venue before so I may end up at the wrong place!

[Gonga]

Unfortunately I've only just realised that I've arranged something else for the 7th I won't be able to come after all! I'm really gutted!
Are there any more meets arranged?

Weather for the day seems to be 9-10 c partly cloudy at first(small chance of a shower) becoming more cloudy with increasing risk of some light rain through the evening/night.Westerly wind 10-15 with some stronger gusts during daylight, with the wind getting up to 23-28 as the evening progresses and the temp drops a little to 6-7c. Having said that ,this is North Wales and forecasts tend to change quite a lot,will be packing the sun cream myself !!!

FFD,
Well done in posting the weather forecast, seems ok.

W better all start eating beans then,,,,:ohmy:

[swelleyman]

Great stuff!! So the way forward is clear for me to mix up a real smelly concoction to attract the Dabytings and blame the odour on the beans! See you all there by the swimming pool? We can always fish in there if it's too rough!

Swelleyman,
The swimming pool is always a ideal place to experience the turberlence effects of wind against sea and a good place to meet.
See you on Saturday.
Coastman

[tony(wrexham)]

Hope the promised wind arrives...the sea is like a sheet of glass at the minute!!.
However yesterday evening it was coming over the wall at the arches..
Looks like tomorrows forecast of SW 4-5 could help..

Tus,
Thats what I like to hear.
Were putting on a good feed for them, with all that bait in the sea, in a small area, its bound to attract them from miles around.
Coastman

[bobbage]

You should see the size of the squid and sandeel/bluey wraps I've just put together! They'll DEFINITELY know we're there!

[mabski]

i never have a good time at llandudno
so hopefully theres a first time for everything

[coastman]

Mabski,
I'm sure you will have a good time tomorrow.
You being the man with the bait means we all want to meet you, so I'm sure you will enjoy the fame.
If we dont catch, I'll buy you a beer or two and send you home happy.
Coastman

[sharkman]

HI,

If the fish are coming from miles, the least I can do is come from manchester.

I will have to be there earlier than 4 so I can catch the last train home, if I set up near the little orme??

Ta

[fishfordinner]

its only 5 mins to colwyn bay station if someone can give you a lift and the trains to manchester will run much later than from llandudno, i probably wont be there by that time but im sure you would get a lift to colwyn bay from one of the late stayers.

[Domino]

Hope the day goes well for you all :thumbs:

[fishfordinner]

update on weather.........unfortunately the wind will be stronger than previously thought ,gusts upto 50mph by 1800 ,but will be southerly (off shore),persistant rain by 8-9 pm.On the bright side i may be able to cast more than 50 yds for a change ha ha ha

A great meet and enjoyed by all who attended.
Names to faces and a chat about fishing tactics, techniques and venues, and a bit of banter and a laugh.
Worth the blank.
Many thanks Coastman

[tony(wrexham)]

It was a good meet..thank you for organising what we hope will be the first of many meets.

[EmptyNets!]

Good meet and great to see so many out - even for a blank!

I blanked the whole weekend but its much better than sitting in front of the box.

Hope to do is all again - maybe we could pm the fish next time :bleh:

Lived up to my name:huh:

Sure you will be catching as the fishing picks up soon.
