Penrhyn Bay

[pros]

Just back from a session at Penrhyn Bay near Llandudno.

I fished 2 up 1 down and had blow lug (dug last night) and some of Asda's finest squid rings.

I was fishing a rocky mark so rotten bottom rigs with 1/0 and 2 hook pennel. Although they were blow lug they were a good size so the pennel helped presentation. The weather was constantly persisting down so I had the beach shelter up, the best bit of kit I ever bought.

I had 2 doggies after about an hour then no more bites.

The other feature of the morning was small mackerel harrying whitebait many of which got stranded on the beach. When I spotted one slightly larger than the others I used it as hook bait and duly caught a 4 inch mackerel. This looked promising as I thought I could work my way up the food chain. The macky was mounted on a 4/0 pennel and cast out, left 20 minutes and wound in. Bait gone, never saw a bite.

There were plenty being caught on feathers but all were tiny.

I had seen these fish the morning before while walking the dogs so had also gone armed with the lure rod but in spite of fishing in the centre of the feeding frenzy with a surface lure, I could not induce a take.


An interesting session, sorry no pics but I am still working on that topic.

Thanks for reading.
