3 x Shore fishing sessions in the Menai Straits

[nala]

All i can say is pants !!!!

First 2hr session got an almighty rod bending take,and that was that... ?

The second session was a no go, seal alert ! One lost rig and leader

Third session, just crabs chomping and then a little bite........too much fresh water (rain) swilling round.

I must be using the wrong aftershave...

Is it just me or does anyone else have days like this ?

Great to hear your stories, it's what fishing is all about............

Hi mate its days like that that got me kayak fishing lol.
So disheartening tho when you loose what seems like a good fish. Crabs and seals are a pain at times alright.
Mind you I had a dog eat one of my baits with 2 6/0 hooks once !!!
I thought the owner was going to kill me but he was highly apologetic. Fortunately it was a very friendly lab that didn't mind my hand down its throat removing the hooks.
So no fish that day just a dog.
That was the last time I used bait funnily enough. Lol.

Don't give up mate.
Get on that kayak and haul them fish in.

Thanks for the encouragement, i went and sold it

But, it was a bit too choppy i have to say for a sib ....

Im just lost for words with the weather.

When back in the day we had a 6/7 week break summer hol' it was blue skies all the way through, i can't remember weather like this then.

I think the scientists are right the ice age is coming back, or is that just going to happen in Wales ?

Im trying to get out on a charter trip since the beginning of the year, but it gets blown off and cancelled every time..

Im thinking of taking up crochet !

Sorry mate didn't realise you sold the kayak.
Yeah weather been awful up north here too except yesterday when I couldn't get out. Typical.
Weather will pick up once kids back to school its always the way lol.
In the mean time get stuck into a few projects to heighten your chances for your next cas like trying out my wee theory in the lure section about hook points and prove me wrong.
