Bad weather and Dogfish

[jonnychaos]

Back today lads. The weather wasnt favourable and reading some of the posts while I was away the guys fishing Anglesey prove I must have been doing something wrong
Appologies to Moniar and Hatter for not ringing while I was there but we thought the weather was to irregular to try and arrange anything.
We fished
Roscoyln
Gallows Point
Trefadog Bay
Four Mile Bridge/Inland Sea
Sea conditions stopped us fishing outside of any Bay area so we missed out on Wylfa Head, Porth Dafarch and such. Just getting unpacked and I will post some pictures of our 2 weeks but it seems you guys had better luck than us.

1 more thing the Prowler BG is like fishing off Holyhead Breakwater I felt so stable ;D ;D ;D

Ok here are a few pics and fish from my hols.
Getting ready at the Inland Sea


Something strange from Rhoscolyn


Rink on our first outting of the holiday from our cottage

My epic struggle with a doggie

But I finally beat him ;D

and probably my best fish from Rhoscoyln although not that impressive

This is my brother in law testing the Big Games stability



Best fish of the two weeks went to rink with his wrasse but I never went and took a picture of it as we were fishing apart (i feel so bad) but he managed to video it on his phone. Now rough estimation on length from rinks report and the video is about 16" and I gave him 4 1/2lb for it.

Now I know for certain that rink was not very satisfied with the Manta Ray 10. It cannot handle any kind of chop on the sea and were I was sitting very confortable on most conditions rink was more concerned with keeping himself on his yak. and it is also impossible to re enter solo. I think only the brother in law was able to re enter it otherwise its just to light. I could turn it over with 1 hand in the water so I think that maybe with a different yak we would have been able to tackle other marks but we always thought SAFETY FIRST.
Anyway it was still fun and our last day was spent jumping in and out of kayaks and me even getting in a frenzy but we wont be seeing a piccy of that ;D
Again thanks guys for all your advise from this site.
