Maryport 1/8/15

Me and Julie set off for Maryport  yesterday morning in the
hunt for some plaice weather wasn't the best as the wind was
blowing strong for the west south west and there was loads
weed. we got there a couple of hours before high water pick
our spot and set up.

The wind was a pain along with that weed but we still stuck it out
but with no luck there was a few lads down and they found it hard
going as well but on the plus side there was a trawler race on which
past the time away lol

At last the blank saver a small smoothound took on crab last cast
so had a few more cast to see if there was an more kicking about
but that was the only fish still its all ways nice to spend a few hour
with our lass doing what I love FISHING......

with the big rods trying for rays and huss but all we managed

nee luck only the one wrasse which fell to me 2lb 4 we fished
here most of the day.

After there we headed back to try for them bass but with no luck

had a lot more luck than the first night we fished there and had
wrasse dogs small Pollack and whitingif you want to keep fit walking

South Wales 2014

Day 1

Me and our Jackson left Sunderland on Wednesday morning 6.45 and 

headed for south Wales to pick Meic up and head for the camp site after

putting the tent up and grabbing a bite to eat we headed to our fish mark

the knapp nice looking beach we were hoping to pick a ray or a hound 

up but that never happened it was just doggies and a red gurnard and a 

nice fry up lol

 The knapp

we fished well into dark and still no hounds or rays so we headed back 

to camp for a few beers and bit craic.

Day 2 

The plan for the morning was to fish Aberthaw for the big hounds but the

wind played it part in spoiling it but we still give it ago it was hard work 

in the wind and we all blanked so after 5 hours of getting blown all over 

we headed back to camp for a bite to eat then headed to Porthcaw pier in

the hunt for a ray or 2 but you couldn't get passed the doggies so it was 

dogs all night.

Aberthaw

Day 3

We planned to fish Witches all day so after a bite to eat we headed there

but that wind was still blowing but we still give it ago we were hoping to

get any thing that was swimming by lol but yet again it was hard going 

there was only one fish caught and that was our Jackson a small red gurnard.

We headed back to the camp for a few beers and reflected on our 3 days 

fishing and where we went wrong or if it was the weather that spoiled the

fish all in all a great 3 days away fishing new marks and great craic 

thanks Meic for showing us the marks we will have to try them again soon.

 Me and our Jackson

 Meic and Jackson

Amble

Had a few session up there this year but never managed any cod
just flounders there's some very nice gulleys that will hold fish and
in the right condition you will bag up on cod use big crab baits or
big worm baits and razor with a 5/0 hook and rotten bottom set up....

This flounder took a 5/0 hook with a big crab bait.

Me and our lass had a dodge up there the other weekend to check it
out a bit more (do more homework) its always good to check marks
out in day light to see which way the tide comes in and where the cut
off points are..

On the way back home we stopped off and had a walk along
Lynmouth beach its a beach i have only fished once but will be
having more session up there

Bog hall rocks..
