Fished yesterday evening 11-01-09

Again fished with my son Russell.

Well to cut the story short

Russell caught a Rockling (like this one)

and I blanked, not even a bite.

Welsh fishing trip.

Went to Newton Point Porthcawl Wales with my eldest son.

On the way we stoped off at Bridgend to get my Xmas presant

from the family. A Diawa STS 13 RGM Fishing Rod.

Well with Lug, Rag, Squid, Mackeral, Sand Eel and Razor Fish.

Our first spot was very snaggy with plenty of

crabs riping the bait apart.

How ever no bites and the tide pushed us away

So Russell grabed the camera and took some photos.



This is Russell at our first spot

Well we fished from 10.15 till 15.00

and no bites or fish caught???!!!!

140 MILES FOR A BLANK.

There are no fish in the Bristol Channel

and the E.U. want pleasure anglers to have catch quotas!!!!!!!

for a couple of hours.

We used a mixture of Rag, Lug, Squid and Mackeral.

We had 5 bites between us and I managed this
tiny Whiting.

Smaller than a can of Coke?
