cleveleys nr blackpool is quite consistant over low in settled weather . you even catch on fresh pumped lug which are abundant . fish upto mid teens in weight average usually around 7/8lb . great fishing best in evening but watch the tide for cutting you off.

 

Another possibility is to have a search on the wirral site for fishing in the rock channel at New Brighton

The lads there get them in the channel but you need to work around the right tides and get out quickly as the tide drops so chest waders help.

 

pensarn is a good spot for hounds..crab is the bait to use,the chanel as said by kellan is exellent..big tides expose a sandbank..chesties are esential...but be aware !!! the channel fills in quickly so try not to go on your own,but saying that there is normaly someone else fishing for the hounds..but keep your eyes on the rising tide and keep safe :thumbs:

 

Thanks for the replies fellas , got some info and an invite by PM so I'm gona follow that one up first , Pensarn sounds good too. Many thanks again for your responses . No excuse now for not catching !will post how I get on good or bad.

I've always wanted to fish the rock channel but never got around to it :sad:. The marks on Anglesey where I've caught smoothhound are the inside of Holyhead breakwater and Raven's point :fishing:.

You dont really haha wading through chest deep water for 200 yards while keeping everythink dry makes uwchmynydd seem easy:blink:

Oh I don't know about that :g:, as a lure angler the idea of wading through deep water seems like fun :fishing:.

 

Blimey that rock channel sounds daunting! Do you have to fish that far out chest high?

 

No but you have to cross a gulley to get onto the bank. As the bank first shows was the time to cross last year as the best fishing was in the first hour or so as the tide is dropping.

The gulley is emptying out as you cross so the return is ok and over dry sand if you don't stay too long but be aware that the tide obviously does flood behind you.

It's quite safe if done correctly but the banks change and I've not heard if its the same this year. Like everything though its best going with someone whose done it before for the first time.

 

Hi there, having had one, and lost a few other good fish at llanddwyn, I will be giving that a go in the next few weeks, drop me a pm if you're interested.
