Sea Fishing by daveonawave

I managed to get out for a few hours last night and fished the 'Itchy Pussy, before you ask its a mark at Knab Rock next to a boat called the 'Itchy Pussy'. Im sure the owners were going to call her thrush but had a change of heart.

Anyway, back to the fishing. After a month of high pressure, weak easterly winds and gerenral poor fishing my 'pecker was up'.  Why? The barometer had dropped (not litterly obviously, its still safley naiel to the wall!), Wales was covered by an area of low pressure and a blanket of cloud. There had been strong westerly winds and coupled with the spring tides I was sure that the sea would have been suitably stired up and I was confident that the fishes would be comming out to play.

I raided my freezer and came up with some mackeral and some calamari (squid to you and me). I arrived at Knab Rock at about 6 pm and was supprised to see only a handfull of anglers there and no one at my favorite spot. I unpacked my tackle and set up next to the 'Itchy Pussy' (sorry had to get that in again)

I fished two rods, one in close and one as far as I could cast. Both were baited with chunks of mackie tipped of with some cunningly sliced squid strip. Why cunning you ask? well I fray the end of the strip into rally thin strips to add moevment to the bait and attract the fish. See, I told you it was cunning.

"Im not going to lie to you" the fishing was slow and all I had to show for my evenings efforts were a couple of whitting, one little fella and one just in size. I packed up at 9.30 and called it a day. The weather had been kind, the fishing was easy and I even had a chat with a Spanish couple about 'sea foxes' but I shall save that one for another day.

Tight lines and hope you catch a biggy!
