i'm the same m8 need scales to but just to hear the fish are comin out is good enough. nice job on the codling!! n unlucky on the missed bite you can almost garrantee you turn your back for a sec or get a *** paper out n bang bang off it goes lol. tight lines m8!! :fishing1:

 

Hiya c100xy, thanks for the report. I notice your favourite rode (for summer use) is a spinner for float fishing. I like the sound of that, I have a 9' pike rod for the same thing. Where have you used it last summer?
Any ideas what the big knock could have been?
cheers M

 

Oright mate mike baker here, good to see your still fishing have to have a seshh soon my old mukka :victory: :fishing1: :thumbs:

 

nice to have new members even nicer to know they are catching fish, i was going to give mumbles pier a try this week, now i know fish are coming out i certainly will, keep the reports coming even if you blank, that's what these local forums are all about :bye1::bye1:

 

Good sesh Coxy, Unlucky with the missed bite,good effort on the codling.I will let you know when we are going next, Blue pool is our next session, especially now bass are showing here and there.I will let you know when.

 

yeah i love foat fishing for mareal and garfish and bass if im lucky.....i usually go to langland point by the rescue rubber ring thing lol and caswell around the corner from the point, white shells i think its called, we use ground bait aswell which is 2 loafs of bread with around 10 tins of sardines in oil and make balls of bait to through in which seems to help!!

 

Hiya. Hope to see you down there one evening/day. Whiteshell point is the point of the rocks at the east end of the left/low water bay of Caswell. My Mrs says that they used to call the rocks that run parallel to the sea (in this left hand bay of Caswell "Ledges",.,..
Anyway nice to hear good reports from down the hill from me 8>)
see you soon..

 

Good fishing buddy. nice report.

White shell p
is opposite point to langlang right hand point. head from langland righthand towards worm. next point out is white shell..
good spots both lang and white shells.

 

No no Whiteshell, one word. Yes, it is as you say the opposite of Langlands Snaple Point.. :whistling

 

yeah the ledges is where we go in the summer for mackerel, few years ago we were catching 25 between 3 of us every evening but then the year after nothing really, shame, langland point is great tho, might try there next day off see whats about!!

 

What techique have you used of Langland/Snaple point?
I was there the other day, blanked though 8>(.....

 

i havent fished there in the winter before but if i was going to i would fish either low tide or high on the bottom with a whole squid on a pennel rig! in the summer i float fish there with small strips of makrel usually for mackrel garfish and bass and bottom fish with crab for bass.

 

Thanks. I'll give that a go. I often see guys fishing there in the summer evenings...

 

probably me lol....u local then? im from mumbles so its great in summer..plenty of places to fish around there

 

Yes, we live in Newton. Just behind The Rock. We are both from West Cross (before I made her the happiest woman in the world) :kissing:

 

oh great for u too then....do u drink in the rock? i rarely do...more the hangcock and the beufort in norton now outside town ofcourse....

 

I have drunk in the Rock, but I prefer ale so tend to drink in the Newton. I feel a bit bad about not using the Rock more as we are quite friendly with Becky.
My father in law and brother in law use the Beaufort, I used to when I lived with my oldies as it was the nearest pub to Druslyn Road where they live.
I think I vaguely recognise you from your pictures, probably seen you around Mumbles..
cheers M

 

ahhh the newton is good, my unlce kevin cox drinks in there....well ive lived in queens road all my life so ive been out in mumbles a fair bit lol....u got any pics of u and ur catches? working non stop till late march now but 1st chance i get im off fishin lol

 

I've only recently "returned" to sea fishing. About a month ago I bumped into two fellas from work fishing Mumbles pier and it ignited my previous interest. I dug my gear out and joined them the next session they had. I'm still getting bits of kit for various adventures together, just bought a slosh for a boat trip we've got planned for july out of Burry Port (the chaps above are Turks, so we are using a boat local to them:dry: )
I wanted a reel that did double duty as a boat trip is a treat for a working man trying to run a family in this hole of a country... and the slosh's are ideal for that and the beach.
There have been pictures taken of me since my fishing renaissance, but the Turks took them... I'll have to get them sent to me, but the ain't pretty :roll1:
I've only had three fish of any interest since starting fishing again, a big doggie, a good sized codling and a fat little rockling.
I'm having a full day down the pier next wednesday, she's in work, the kids are in school and I'm on leave. I'm going to try some dawn lure/spinning and some evening beach/rock fishing throughout the week too (once she's snorring...)...
What do you do for a living?

 

oh i see..excellent, is that a reel u bought?i dont know makes of fishing equipt. like....im off out fishing wed 23rd ......my next day off really where i wont have a hangover lol....i work in a call centre but im a carpenter by trade, yourself? im in the process of saving for a boat, i loveeeee boat fishing its amazing, and not just the fishing its great being out at sea with the views we have around mumles/gower!! and drop a few crab pots to see if you get anything...great stuff!! just finding somewhere to keep the boat is a problem as the marina is £1000 pound a year i think to keep it there......

 

I'm a Train Driver. The reel I bought is a Diawa SL20SH. It looks really small, but has these big "cogs" that make the winding mechanism very strong (I think). The reel is reasonably priced and quite good for casting but can also be used for shore fishing over the rough stuff and mediumish boat fishing without falling apart. It was recommended to me by Richard in Mainwarings. I've put 18lb line on it, which suits it's capacity looking at it, but I may splash out on some posh skinny stronger line once I master the thing. I'll probably go down the front to practice with it before I use it in anger.
I'd love a boat, but won't be able to afford one for a few years. A grand a year for the marina sounds pretty reasonable to me. I'd probably prefer to take mine home with me though, if I'm ever lucky enough to get a boat. Aren't you allowed to lay them up by the Mermaid any more?
Where are you off to wednesday? Fancy the pier? I'll teach you how to blank !
