18th November Cardiff Foreshore
The return of Wilba to the Welsh Danglers!!
This session had been planned for a few weeks with Wilba travelling down
to rejoin the Danglers for a session.
When the trip was planned the foreshore was fishing quite well but recent
reports were not good! Against our better judgements we decided to stick to the plan rather than fish elsewhere.
After the hike to the marks we started fishing around 2pm with high water at 5ish. We had some
quality baits fresh peeler crab (big uns) plenty of blow lug, some ragworm plus the usual mackerel and squid.
The forecast was a bit dodgy with strong winds and heavy showers but luckily we only had one
small shower and the wind was non existent.
Valleyboyo was 1st to catch a small whiting, then a little later Wilba also managed a small whiting.
Maybe the session wouldn't be that bad after all we thought.
Then it went quiet til after high when Teggy managed an undersized whiting.
Just after that Wilba hooked a decent fish and he said by the way the it was nodding could be
a codling unfortunatly the fish came off just below the surface. Blackcat also lost a decent fish this way.
We fished on til around 7pm but had no more bites.
With the weather quite mild and dry Teggy decided to take off his floatation
suit to walk back to the cars. He then carefully placed it on top of valleyboyo's box, which was on his back and Valleyboyo
unknowingly carried it all the way back to the car for him.
When realising he had been caught again he mumbled a few choice words and
vowed to get his own back. After the rock incident at the deeps and now this we have given Valleyboyo the nickname 'sherpa'
for his ability to carry things!!
A quiet session with not many bites but still nice to get out and for Wilba to have a session
with the Danglers again, also fro Teggy to catch a fish after quite a few blanks!
