Planned a trip over west coast to the bay in rascarrel hoping to land a new species me. Fishingmark and outcast Chris
Watched England game then a few hours kip then picked the boys up at 5 and headed over approx 3hrs drive
Weather was a bit cloudy but absolutely red hot when we got to the track there was a barrier across it so we couldn't take car down so asked farmer he told us to park up next to forest and walk threw it it must of been a 2 mile walk blisters , sweating and shattered before we reached our mark
Cheers mark for leading me a pair of socks for me new boots

Lovely scenery and rocks peaceful only us there. Set the big rods up 1 close in with a flapper rig the other further out with a flowing rig hoping for a ray
All of us got cracking bites on our 1st casts resulting in 3 doggies

Moved further over as the tide pushed us back. Mark caught a nice codling of about a pound

Chris had to dip his feet in the water as it was unbearable

Stopped till 2.30 as we were all shattered and could only see doggies getting caught
There was some lovely wooden lodges with hot tubs outside on the beach front

We decided to walk up the track where the cars were going up must of saved an hours hike threw the woods
Great day with loads of big doggies and a lonely codling but peaceful and clean
More pics to follow

A great day out, Apart from the hiking lol. Plenty of fish, shame there weren't a few more species. Roll on next weekend for a trip up the coast.
 
Great report and lovely photos Mick. It sure was hot and muggy further north here too! Looks a beautiful place.
 
how can i join your gang mick,or is it chris,lol.ive got my own transport.?ps,is your next venture up north,but were.may be up there myself.
 
well done on your efforts lads and some nice size dogfish too, I look forward in reading your little outings with the crew every week :D
 
That side of the bay nearer the point to the right is good for Conger later in the year.
The left side of the bay is easier to fish,nice flat ledges and you don,t have to move far.Plus theres more species to catch if you can get through the gollywogs (LSD,s).
Most of the tracks leading onto the beaches over there are now blocked off because of idiots leaving rubbish and lighting fires.

We had a feeling that's why road was blocked off a few spoiling it for the rest of us

That's not the reason for the road being blocked.It's the developement
of the land down there.The land is private,with restricted access,so there's
no parking,or crossing the burn via the wooden bridge,at the bottom of the track.
