Just a quick report…….

Fished on Seren Y Mor Tuesday with Daihook, Pennar Pointer, a mate from my village and 4 friends from Bournemouth/Poole.

Due to unreliable forecasts, we decided to cut our losses and concentrate on a bit of friendly rivalry, by having a 4 man England v Wales match. Thanks to Pennar Pointer for suggesting it and for supplying the scoresheets.

1st off we anchored a bank, and Pennar was off to a flier by boating the 1st 2 fish of the competition – a lovely small eyed ray and a turbot. After a quiet spell, we headed in for a go at the triggers, where Pennar increased his lead by boating a trigger. On this mark we managed red gurnard too.

With the weather improving we steamed out to another mark, and were all straight into a mixture of bull huss, dogs, pout, poor cod, mackerel, scad, black bream & a surprise baby tope.

Next move was to another bank where we discovered that the SE rays were on the feed. Around 30 or so were boated within an hour and a half or so! No big ones unfortunately - biggest went 8lb.

The final move was back in for a crack at the triggers, but unfortunately we couldn’t get amongst them! The guy’s on Dominator (anchored about 200yards from us) were pulling them in regularly…..but it wasn’t to be for us, however we did pick up a few nice bream.

All in all an excellent day afloat, with plenty of fish, 12 or so species, and plenty of banter. I think Ian has some pictures of the day.

Thanks to Kevin for an excellent day afloat - he worked hard for us all day :thumbs:

Oh yeah…..Wales hammered the English team! :clap2:

Roll on the rematch!

On Seren-Y-Mor with either Kevin or Dave, never spectacular but always good value for money!:clap:

It was a great day out Aled - nice to be on the water and in good company. Thanks for arranging it.

Here's Greg and the trigger

Your red gurnard for team Wales

and some of your s/e rays

and mine

..excitement too much for one old codger

Fair play, Kev worked hard for us and it was fun day. I've never seen so many rays and huss!

The trawler was working hard over beyond Pwll Du as well.......

Cheers

Ian

Pleased to see Aled's Gurnard turned up in team colours and surprisingly no pics of any fish caught by the English:bleh:

Thanks Aled and your south coast friends for a cracking days fishing** ... its just a shame this constant wind is ruining the season.

The score? ....******** England 128 pts******* Wales 157 pts*** :clap2:

Well done Aled being Top Rod

LOL - sprung! :clap2:

You guy's seem to be having a good time on the triggers :thumbs:

If we'd have gone by the forecast - we'd have been in the pub instead of enjoying the sport afloat.

Have to say that the SE rays must have been starving! They were even beating the dogs to the baits!

It was nice of that gurnard to show off too - stunning coloured fish and fully flaired! Shame about the ugly mug holding it!
