With hardly a breath of wind, and glorious sunshine, we set off from Burry Port harbour mid morning, and headed towards Burry Holmes and the Worm. Our first task was to catch some mackerel for bait......at first they were a bit elusive, but eventually we located pockets of them, and soon had enough for bait (and a few for a BBQ that evening!).
A few joey mackerel were soon on their way to the bottom, and baited feathers soon followed. It wasn't long until the 1st 'doggie' of the day hit the surface, quickly followed by small grey gurnards.
A small starry smoothound also took a liking to a strip of mackerel, but all too quickly it was time to head for home.
The following day I travelled a bit closer to the Worm and was soon into mackerel and gurnards.
1st up was a Tub Gurnard
Followed by a few grey gurnard
And finally a red gurnard
Among the LSD's I did manage o pick out a small huss.
The only action I had on live joey was one bitten in 1/2 by a tope - no bass at all. Will have to look at getting live sandeels for the next trip! Nothing huge caught over the 2 sort sessions, but was nice just to get out in such glorious weather.
