Fishing

[Joey66]

I once worked in a hotel..the cooked and half eaten rainbow trout, head on,put me off .
A battered haddock from the Chippy is my limit.

You can't beat fresh clean fish to eat for breakfast caught the night before though plus the thrill of your catch & we were eating them catching them & putting them back only if they were too small to eat etc... which was rare on the Llyn ... every year we went to the same cottage ... in the same cove 2 hours fishing a day ....

Without doubt the weirdest set of lads outside of an asylum, couldn't concieve of a worse way to spend money or time

2 hours of fun in a sunny cove spinning your rod off the rocks & getting a cheap breakfast - I would not eat a fish out of the dirty water - on the Lynn Peninsula crystal clear .....

The golden rule with the Mersey, is that if it swims in and swims out it can be eaten - cod, whiting etc

If it lives here all year round - plaice, it’ll be full of heavy metals.

There’s still a lot of bad stuff going in, hence the big clean up announcement recently.

Guns n roses types?

My young son & ! Were complete novices - we purchased spinning rods & learnt of older fishermen how to cast - knot your spinning bait on etc - plus the most vital thing fish when the tide comes in & is on the turn - plus when I caught them just put your foot on their head - trying to pick them up & smash their heads on a rock - I found impossible - My son purchased Japanese lure bait that glowed in the dark - the Mackerel & they were large mackerel he was hauling two out at a time - my good lady at the beginning of the week - laughed you catch them & i will cook them in our holiday cottage - by Friday she was fed up with gutting fish -

A lovely breakfast for us all through - Happy days - a big seal was in the bay robbed many a fish off our line -

In one hour I had a good bag full of fish - an older guy there who could cast 50 yards out caught a large codling & I got a bass .... with lugworm - the water was so clear you could see the white bait swimming in & you knew the larger fish would be in for a feed & the gulls were hovering all indicators you were in for a big catch ....

A big mackerel caught on a light line, on a spinning rod, gives a fight equal to any trout.

I always put the ones I caught on rod and line back, out of respect for the fight they put up.

A lad I knew who lived around there, used to fish for the big bass around there, using his flat bottomed boat that he could sail over the rocks safely and fly fish for them - now that is some fight !

He took Robson Green out fishing for Bass off Hells Mouth for his tv programme.

I went to Hells mouth just for a day out - boy the waves were high - The cove I used was beautiful too old now like my rods are still in the loft - My son caught a large Cole fish almost bent the rod in half he was only young & I had to take over to land it - a member of the cod family ....

Worm drowners.

Mainly used ma made lures that flashed like a white bait fish - Lug worm only for bass & Codling & Gurnards - on sand be wary of the ray fish as they sting you & hospitalise you ....

Love a bit of sea fishing especially when I'm with a good mate having a butty and a good coffee, enjoying the outdoors.
It deffo helps take your mind away from the daily battle
