Few marks south wales Jollys

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



we fished well into dark and still no hounds or rays so we headed back to camp
for a few beers and bit craic.



Cant wait to have another go at these marks but with out that wind. lol

the knpp







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 doggie 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.

Cheers boys... We are thinking of heading back down to try and sneak a few session in over a weekend weather permitting of course lol.

Pity more fish didn't show for you, they look like they could be good marks; looks like you still enjoyed the trip and had a good time though.

That gurnard was a good catch; I'd like to get one of those (not just for the species hunt! Would love to just get one anyway!).

Some lovely marks there Eddie, shame the hounds didn't show for you and the lad but it just gives you a reason to go back again. That's a cracking Gurnard for Jackson as well, even if he doesn't look best pleased with it

that hot water outlet is a magnet for bass at the power station
Good for smoothhounds if you head further east toward fontygary point
