Species Hunting

This blog will record my fishing progress via the REPORTS tag, list marks fished through the VENUES tag, and may also help you identify your own catch through the SPECIES tag on the right hand side of the webpage.

Report - YAK - Stackpole 17/05/14

Gorgeous day, but a change to the planned venue.  Was intending on Oxwich, but due to bait issue, and being unable to leave home until 9am, decided to have a short experimantal session on the yak.

Headed West with nowhere in mind really, and eventually ended up in Stackpole.

Easy launch at HW, but a little trickier return close to LW (see pic below).


 Only fished on the drift as I didn't know the area (bottom or full tide strenght etc) and it was pin whiting and dogs every drop from the off.  Some big dogs!

Picked up micro dabs in between and then a couple of these (grey gurnard).....

 
Had a drift or 2 close in for wrasse, and picked up the biggest corkwing wrasse I'd ever seen (stunning fish).
 

Couple of jigs for early mackerel proved fruitless - so it was back to the car.  Do-able on your own - but easier with 2.  Lesson learned - lol!


Stunning place, weather and a few fish to boot.
