This weekend was superb weather again so it was off to Llanrhystud to try a few more spots:
Second paddle of the year and I remembered the camera this time!
Launched from Llanrhystud beach in hope of some late turbot after putting a radio call into the coastguard.
Paddled out a bit and put down a mackeral baited shrimp rig in very shallow water - nothing doing so paddled a bit further out and towards one of my bass marks - still nothing on the shrimp rig trailing behind or close in with my favourite artificial eel. Still it was a nice afternoon for a paddle so I carried on with the last of the ebb tide.
I headed back up to the launch point and then further out on the first bit of the flood tide - the fish seemed to have woken up at last and as soon as I started on my lunch the ratched screamed and this double trouble came up:
They wrecked my baited shrimp rig so I replaced it with a one down two up beaded rig and sat back for some more dogfish sport on light tackle. Then this little ugly guy came up:
Finshed off with another few dogfish close in and enjoyed the sun going down before paddling back in and checking in with the coastguard again on the vhf.
So, two outings so far this year and two blank free sessions. Roll on the bass and mackeral and tope season:-)
