North Wales My Fishing Year Part 1

[Wobbler72]

Well, I’m done fishing for this year. It’s time to reflect on what I did (or could do, given the constraints of lockdowns etc). These days I still do virtually all of my UK fishing on and around the Lleyn Peninsula, mostly alone but occasionally with friends and family.

It was a slow start to the year, to say the least. In January, the closest I got to Wales was this view (from my back garden) of the the Cambrian Mountains North of Machynlleth (80 or so miles away as the crow flies).



February and March were no better.

In April, I finally got to Pwllheli and got the boat back on the water.



I even managed to FISH! Nothing much going on, but plenty of Pollack to 4lb around in all the usual places.



It was late in May when the Wobbler family really started to get going with Bass, Bigger Pollack and a surprise Sea Trout for my grandson Jack







And that was it for the first half of the year on the Lleyn. Late June we were scheduled to take our annual trip to Shetland. I’ll make that the subject of a separate report.

You mean leafy Worcestershire ?

Yeah, that’s right. Apparently I‘m too intelligent and refined

Sedgley these days mate. On the West side of the Beacon so I overlook the Shropshire plains rather than West Bromwich, which was recently rejected as a twin-town for Kabul (apparently, they we’re Ok with being associated with the desolate town centre but couldn’t reconcile themselves with the sh1t football team) ?

Lovely pics and boat looks great too

Good result.

I have never had a bass off the boat across the bay from you just off Shell Island, nor have any of the guys in the Yacht club i have spoke with, strange, but plenty from the shore.

Merry Christmas! Is that a Robalo you've got there Wobbler?

How strange. They show all along the South coast of the Lleyn.

Yes mate. Robalo R222. Ideal for my needs
