Venue & Details For March Wsf League Meet

[The VooDoo Bus Man]

:idea: Can we start posting venue ideas for the march match?Last sunday is the 25th. Fairly small tides. Llanelli area high tide times are 1031 & 2254.
As March is reputed to be a difficult month to locate the fish maybe we should be looking to fish an estuary mark? Maybe Laugharne, Llanstephan or even Ginst Point would think they would all fish well over low water but don't really know. Maybe Ferryside as well while I think about ( not so far for us boys in the Swansea area and east to travel) Always a chance of Bass from all these marks. If you wanted an early start could always fish the morning flood on Cefn Sidan. Those are are a few suggestions to get the ball rolling. Maybe someone could do a vote thing like whats been done for the Wales v England re- match Hope you boys from down west have voted?:g: PS can someone sticky this please?
Rob 100-LLanstephan.
SBM -Llanstephan
Kellogs- Llanstephan

[Rob 100]

yer an estuary sounds good to me, what about llanstefan??

[SuperBassMaster]

i fancy llanstephan low water up. could have it as a semi rover, as some may want to fish beach but i like the estuary above yacht club :)

Would you want an early start or fish the afternoon/evening flood?

[kellogs]

Definately the afternoon! Am not a morning person

[The VooDoo Bus Man]

Definately the afternoon! Am not a morning person

I take it that is a vote for Llanstephan as well then mate?

[kellogs]

:clap2: Llanstephan good with me. Havnt fished there so am looking forward to fishing all these weird and wonderful places!

Suggestion recorded on the post. Cheers mate

[SuperBassMaster]

lets provissionally say lanstephan then unless somewhere is fishing hot closer to the date

[The VooDoo Bus Man]

Most of the peeps who fished sunday seemed ok with the idea of Llanstephan. however if any one can suggest somewhere that is really fishing well the venue can be changed. keep your eyes and ears open and post your suggestions here.:unsure: :bicycle:

[andy2728]

thought the next one may have been more to the east?

[the dangler]

sorry gutted i couldnt make it sunday the mrs got called into work,you got to be having a laugh about llanstephan in march surely you want to fish where something will get caught,which wont happen there in march pmsl

[the dangler]

but cefn sidan wouldnt be a bad venue for that time of year

[fiskies]

How about somewhere more Easterly then? Ogmore River, Monknash for the Rays, Penarth Beach for some early bass / late cod????????????

[SuperBassMaster]

how about cefn sidan then? be all the same as llanstephan anyway wouldnt it?? wouldnt mind somewhere for rays, fiskies has mentioned monknash, any more info on this venue?

[andy2728]

:clap3: looks like you got youre way and its the "western division" ey?thought the whole point was to share the venues around.im sure the guys who cant drive or havent got a car could cadge a lift.come on lads me and fiskies totally ignored,if you want it to be a forum comp,spread it about.if you want to keepit on youre own patch state it.loads of lads came to swansea saturday evening from as affar as gloucetershire for brands bash.did you really expect them to do it two days in a row?
a bit of reading the posts could have sent you to a different day and a better turnout.
hope you all enjoy llanstefan,but suggest you rename to west wales branch.:g:

[the dangler]

cefn sidan is as close if not closer to you

[King Of Leon]

the only other place which hasnt been mentioned with the chance in catching flounders and early bass is lougher!

[andy2728]

cefn sidan is as close if not closer to you

not talking about me,but others more easterly

[the dangler]

i dont mind where it is to tell the truth and i can give 2 others a lift in the van

[wolfie]

for the sake of everyone, why not alternate it, but cefin sidan is just as far for us in west, so itl be on the 25th then?

[fiskies]

What about Monknash then????

[FISHY FINGERS]

How about somewhere more Easterly then? Ogmore River, Monknash for the Rays, Penarth Beach for some early bass / late cod????????????

From the fact that you are being totally ignored on this front perhaps the W in WSF stands for west!!
I wonder if the forum should get more insular and be split into Southern and Western Wales regions.
At least every comp wouldn't be a Flattie meet!!!

one comp out of two has been a flattie meet??? fresh east has flatties yes, but none were weighed in so i cannot see where you are coming from. and i personally cannot comment on monknash because i have never fished it. although it sounds like a good place to fish

where he is coming from is east,only fair next one goes that way,seems to be though the non driving fraternity of under 18s seem to be running the show.
youre ballgame,play it fair or not at all:blink: :blink:

[FISHY FINGERS]

Next meet Llanstephan = flatties
England v West Wales match at Cefn Sidan = flatties,

my case is well and truly rested

[fiskies]

I give up, do it wherever as I seem to be being ignored. Just don't be suprised if there are very few memebers from the East turning up to these meets if you won't even listen to suggestions.

[wolfie]

none of us mind coming east, but what we said was look at the most suitable venue at the time, which is open to suggestions, and as it looks at the minute cefin sidan, llanstephan, ferryside etc. were looking favourable, but if theres anywere else fishing better then im sure we can all agree on something suitable for the tides on the 25th!!!

is there someone talking?? hehe

does seem to be abit west bound but hay nothing you can do about it. i wont lose any sleep
best of luck to them with the league

[King Of Leon]

just have it then so its called the pembrokeshire leauge table, like someone posted earlier its just kids arranging it that cant drive and are not allowed to venture to far from home............................as you can see this has really pi***d me off, twice fiskies stated that monknash would be a good option and twice he was ignored....................so stick your F***ing leauge up your arses!!!!!!!!!! how many people turned out for the last one ....9 !!!!!!! my point excactly ...bad organisation !!!!!!!!!!

sorry if any1 has been offended by my aggresive approach but maybe this will get thruogh to the muppet or muppets arranging these comps.....no offence! and i am a nice person!!!!!!! so my shrink tells me......gotta go to my anger management class now!!!!:)

monknash would be a suitable venue for that tide, time of day and year, there should be fish there with the chance of some lovely big rays, blondes, thornies and small eyed, possible ealry bass, late cod, turbot, doggies etc......does that sound suitable enough for you!

[i hate whiting]

sounds good enough to me

[fiskies]

low tide at 17;00 ish, so fish one or two down and two or three up, should catch something.

[i hate whiting]

what like ground bait rigs ect do you use there? i want to catch a ray but i dunno how i am gunna get there, hopefully scab a lift off someone (i will chip in for petrol!! lol)

[rockling]

and i am the only person organising (im not even organising it im just helping out where i can??) this that is under 18, whats wrong with that anyway... your not goin to get anything by throwing all the toys out of the pram,

[Rob 100]

why dont you just have a vote between 2 different marks, one down here and one up your way?

[wolfie]

fiskies, monknash sounds good to me, chance of a new venue, and decent size fish from the beach we never get around here.

[The VooDoo Bus Man]

There is a thread on the main site re some of the lads fishing Monknash this weekend coming and I'm thinking of having a go myself. This is an ideal opportunity to see how a venue that has been suggested is fishing and as been said numerous times we are all open to suggestions and can be flexable regarding match venues. My SUGGESTION is we keep an open mind on venue and times but the date remains the same 25th March. The none driving element from west wales can PM forum members who they know have cars and I'm certain lifts can be arranged. Lets try to cut out the bickering that is going on and as SUPER BASS MASTER has always said these matches are meant to be FUN!!

[salmonking]

guys,the east boys seem right,how often do we fish pendine,laugharne,ginst or llansteffan!and catch(or not)flats and small bass?.why not try monknash or somewhere similar for a few different spicies!it would be interesting.

[kellogs]

In order to please everyone I think we should have rovers and say meet at Pont Abraham for the weigh in! :)

[King Of Leon]

why not just do one up this way then one down that way!

that would keep us happy, i would have fished the last one as i dont mind travelling .as im from pembroke dock and my family still live there , i would have stayed down for the weekend....had the comp not been the day after brands bash! and been at a more suitable time ...ie not sunday evening! but you have got to take into account the lads up here who want to fish , if the comps are down that way all the time then its an unfair advantage.

[congaqueen]

As great as the idea is & as enthusiastic as i am about this league. I dont see how we can successfully do this. U are talking about the majority of wales. Being down here in the far west, it takes hours to get anywhere & likewise for those of u further east. Why can we not have a league for each area, with say the the 1st ten of each area, having a mutally agreed, central fish off, to decide the winner. Its kind of taking the fun out of it. Afterall this is only supposed to be a friendly get together once a month, to get to know people on the forums. isn't it???

I fancy having a go in Ogmore deeps at some point. Preferrably when there are a far more species about.

i think the same

[fiskies]

Monknash is about three miles down the road from Ogmore, so it wouldn'ty be that far travelling, as regards to the idea of the rover, what fun would that be if the idea was to catch fish and meet new forum members.

If this idea is going to be taken seriously for fun by all forum membrs then you must surely spread the venues out so all can get invlolved in at least a few of the matches. Monknash is not so close for us in the East either. I'm from Barry and would sepend at least forty minutes getting there, so it's not exactly on our doorstep. Like King of Leon I would have fished the last one, and don't mind travelling, but only if the venues are spread out to be fare to all. If I will travel to west wales to try new marks and broaden my fishing horizon, then surely those in the West would or should return the favour.

IT NEEDS TO BE SPREAD ABOUT TO BE FARE, TOO KEEP IT FUN AND NOT CREATE A DIVIDE, PEACE BROTHERS!!!!:clap3: :clap3: :clap3:

[fiskies]

Juts look how pretty and snag free Monknash is when the sun's going down, aahhh!

By the way that 'king of leon' in another ponsey fishing pose, ooo eelloo sailor lol.

[congaqueen]

Yea it sounds great, & looks lovely. It takes me hour & a half to get to to bridgend, (it took an hour just to get to pendine! lol) i dont mind travelling that far. But i would think twice about travelling further. I'm just saying that i think its going to be really difficult trying to please everyone.

Hi congaqueen i come to the first meet which was at pendine then your next meet thats a good hour and half for me then the next meet was fresh water east that would of been another 1hr and to my trip thats two comps now and both off them have been down west wales tight lines

[the dangler]

i agree with the eastern fellas,:idea: i think we should fish monknash next and at that meet agree on another 8 venues between us not including dec as this would be for the top 10 to fish the top 10 league placings for an overall winner,put them in a hat and draw them out westerners 4 venues easterners 4 venues,april match west may match east and so on,it is all fun and everyone deserves to fish it

[wolfie]

i dont think for some people that an hours driving once a month is that bad, personally id be quiet happy travelling east to try different marks out, like others have stated one east then one west, fair is fair, and abit of common sense people could share lifts, petrol etc..

Thank god the last two threads are common sense hope the rest of the boys agree with it now thanks again you two tight lines

[andy2728]

[QUOTE=King Of Leon;549277]why not just do one up this way then one down that way!

:notworthy by far the simplest and most obvious suggestion.share it around,alternate it.

[fiskies]

Although I agree with dangler about 4 east 4 west alternating until the fish-off, I think that perhaps the marks should be picked closer to the date to make sure we are fishing venues at the chosen end of wales where there are fish???

I also appreciate that the more competative members want to make sure they fish every match so they can to up the chances of wining, as would I, I'm such a sore loser, but sadly because I work shifts and may not be able to travel to every western match, I have to accept that I can only fish when I'm able, so fishing every one of them is not vital, is it? So perhaps those memebrs not in on the idea of alternating should perhaps just accept hat they can't fish them all and just enjoy the ones they do!!!

[i hate whiting]

alternating it is then thats sorted :) so east this month is it?? where we thinking? monknash im guessing

[fiskies]

It has to be monknash now, I haven't got any teddy left in my pram to throw, lol.

[King Of Leon]

thats ok ive still got one or two , and you have still got dave!!!!! i have spat my dummy out though and i had a temper tantram around my front room floor last night!!!!!!

so in other words you only want to fish the eastern matches pmfl

[fiskies]

so in other words you only want to fish the eastern matches pmfl

No, not at all. All I'm saying is because of shifts I may not be able to make every one both West and East, but if this all done farily and properly, I will make everyone I can regardless where they are, and I'm actually looking forward to fishing further down West and trying new marks.

[congaqueen]

:giveup: when u put it like that, i spose once a month isnt to bad. We can offer a lift from Haverfordwest to 1. or 2 with a bit of a squeeze. So long as u dont mind my driving:crazy: :) pm me or kellogs.

[kellogs]

Spot on perhaps we can each suggest venues then have a pole like the wales/england thingy going on a couple of weeks before the match. This way everyone has a say. Its only fair on everyone that we fish equal matches all over our region. There was always going to be geographical problems with our forum covering such a wide area and to be honest with the s**t road structure we have here in west wales it takes hours to get anywhere. I personally am looking forward to fishing new venues. Monknash looks a great place.

ps I was only being lighthearted in respect of the rovers! :)

[kellogs]

I personally think everyone should be able to fish the last match whether or not there in the top ten. Simply out of interest I would like to see who wins.

[RottenBottomRob]

I for one am keen on this site and enjoy `chatting` with other anglers on here but I really don`t like match fishing.....mainly because it`s impossible to retain any decent fish without killing it for the weigh in at the end. Well that and I`m crap and never win ..lol. So when I don`t make many don`t think I`m not bothered about `joining in ` on here. !

The matches are all fished on the catch, measure & release system with all fish having to meet a set minimum size before you can even measure them, so there is no un-necessary killing of any fish. So even though you might not like match fishing, and I'm not mad keen either, you can still turn up to the matches you fancy fishing enjoy the company and maybe learn a few tips so your fishing skills improve. Who knows you might just win one and walk away with a few quid for your efforts. Ask Wolfie, he knows.

[the dangler]

looking at he monknash thread that walk they r all on about is offputting

It aint that bad 15minutes and your there.

It aint that bad 15minutes and your there.

Well said mate if it was that bad i wouldnt be going there again but i am on the 17th of this mth trying the night tide again tight lines

Hi anylugnotitscrab yes mate as long as the weather is ok i am going there see you soon tight lines

[SuperBassMaster]

what a load of whinging moaning throwing toys out of pram etc. nobody said anything about leaving you lot out, just be patient and all will get whaty they want.

next match monknash then happy now?? i am cos i said at the start that i would like to fish some of the marks you guys rave about.

if people want to put their opinions across and suggest places then do so in a polite and civil way theres no need for all th e 'f'ing etc shaun that was a bit out of line, if you dont like the way they are organised dont come no skin off my nose, and no point giving the younger lads grief either all they are doing is getting involved and helping instead of just shouting when things dont go their way.

if every1 could come up with 5 eastern marks, and 5 western we will organise when to fish them between us is that ok with every1???

havent said anything before now as aint been able to get online at all for a week or so.

looking forward to meeting more new faces and having a laugh and fishing new marks, so could every1 try and just chill and enjoy, if i have more constuctive input i can organise better, bearing in mind that this is the first time ive ever done any thing like this ok lads,
