Porthclais Thursday 05/04/07
Congaqueen and I headed off to Porthclais full of anticipation ahead of the evenings fishing. This venue has been very productive for us in the past and we thought we would be in for a bit of sport. We took mackeral, squid, ragworm and sandeels and although a beautiful evening the fish did not want to come out and play. We fished with bait casted out into the deep, float fished and threw a couple of spinners out. Not so much as a bite. As darkness fell we moved from the ledges to the harbour and again not a bite. Then our lamp packed up and it was time for the comfort of home and a few ciders.
Sunday Caerfai 08/04/07
On Sunday we headed off for Caerfai to see if our luck would improve with a change of venue. Not having fished here before I was looking forward to trying the venue. We wandered along the coastal path and found some good ledges facing out to the open sea on the left hand side and a good looking gully to the right. The views from Caerfai are quite breathtaking. We took fresh peeler and lug worm, ragworm, sandeels, mackeral and squid. We fished with floats and casting out into the deeps and again fishing proved very difficult. Did manage one dogfish.
The views and nice weather though made up for the lack of fish.
We were very surprised not to catch any wrasse or pollack. Any ideas or is it a tadge early for these marks.
