North Wales Last night……

[Kevin3110]

…… it was back to the beach with a couple of mates. Bites from the off with my first 2 casts both producing Coalfish.

Then, from the 3rd cast and almost 4hrs I couldn’t hook another had my life depended on it Whilst the lads just to my right continued to catch. I was still getting bites and using exactly the same bait but couldn’t connect with anything ☹

At 11:30pm they’d had enough and decided to call it a night, in my stupidity/stubbornness I decided with having today off and bait left to fish on. Just past midnight I caught another

And from then on the Coalfish gates had opened with bites on every cast landing most of them too.

On a couple of occasions the rod didn’t even make it back to the rest the bottom strewn with ravenous Coalie’s!
Hectic as it was and with still a few Ragworm left the heavens opened around 01:30am, so with a final fish on the last cast I packed up and headed for the car a lot…… lot later than planned!

Great report and pic’s mate. Can be so frustrating not getting the hook ups. I find playing with longer/shorter snoods usually sort the issue out.

Yeah, % agree that swapping snood lengths can help on those occasions, unfortunately I’d only taken a few pre-tied ones last night that were fairly similar to each other.

Great session Kevin . Glad that staying on after the lads left resulted in plenty more fish for you .

I was talking with a mate in South Wales and they don’t get any down his way either. Great little scrapers on lighter beach tackle.

I've had them in South west Wales, but you couldn't bank on them. They seem to turn up anywhere at any time of year.
