Report - Yak - Aberavon

After setting my sights on a blonde at Sully, everything seemed to conspire against me....... 20 min late starting from the house (long story) heavy traffic, lack of lug in dragon baits to try for a codling on the 2nd rod, realising at dragon baits that i only had one rod in the car (not quite lrf but light!!).......you get the drift though!

Torn between my plan B (oxwich) and plan C (newton)........ Somehow (something to do with traffic) i ended up at Aberavon.

Launched in no time and through the surf was soon paddling out on a mill pond and heading towards mumbles head (i was still contemplating oxwich!! Lol).

Dropped the hook about 1/2 mile off the tip of the long arm and was soon into a fish a drop (probably a fish every 2 or 3 minutes. It was a steady stream on woofers, dogs, growlers, swansea bay spotted sharks, barkers, lesser spotted dogfish and jumbo doggies!

Removed any fish or squid scent or bait, and it soon changed - it was now a whiting a drop. At the same rate as the doggies were previously, with the odd dab and a solitary pout to vary it up a little.

Not a codling to be seen anywhere.

The highlight of my morning has to be a nice thornie (on frozen blacks) - guestimate around 8lb or so.

 

 

Doggies cme back out in force, so i made my way home. Beached safely in a few nice waves (my bad timing!) - and stayed dry.

Not plan A, B C or D, but with a flat calm sea a few fish and a day off work it was a great day out. Gutted though to have missed the guys in sully. Next time ill be more organised!
