OK not as bad as the 2001 'foot and mouth' season but still very weird!
I've only fished a handful of times this season so my catch rate is bound to be one of the lowest ever. In any case my enthusiasm for the sport has been waning of late having transferred my efforts since July to Sea Bass but I haven't even caught one of them either! So all in all I'm pretty well pissed off with fishing in general.
On my way back from Pembrokeshire on Friday I decided to call in to Llangadog for another go!
It was a fairly mild cloudy night with a slight breeze. The water was perfect. It gets dark early now so I started fishing about 8.30 I would think. There were no other anglers so I had the beat to myself. It wasn't long before I had a good but unexpected take on the dangle and I then felt the weight of a good fish but sadly it didn't stay on! Blast! I then started fishing with renewed enthusiasm, fishing down the same area. This time I was rewarded with a fine 2 lb sea trout which I safely unhooked and of course returned.
It wasn't long before the wind got up and casting became precarious. I packed up about 12.30am.
I do love his sport but ........it's really hard work these days.
Back again this forthcoming week!
