An early rise to a wet and windy Kidwelly, it was bad enough for me to text Ian to see if the trip was still on. Trip on was the response, so off we set. We locked out at 8am from Penarth, and travelled the short distance to our 1st mark (after having to abort the initially planned 1st mark, due to sea conditions!!!!!).
Fishing was slow at the 1st mark, with only a few whiting to show for our efforts. After the tide began to ebb, the wind eased a little and allowed us to move a little further off shore. Not long into fishing at this mark, Jason wound into a nice little codling, which he released to grow bigger.
Ian was up next....
Then, while re-baiting one rod there was a bite on my other rod........
The result - a 3lb+ codling
Jason managed one more codling, and that was that. Weird that we had not encountered any eels or dogs!
All in all a decent day afloat - with suprisingly favaourable sea conditions, given the weather!
Thanks to Ian for organising (and for taking picture - that I've pinched!!).
