Morfa Bychan (1 Flounder)

Morfa Bychan 25/12/2007
Time: 11.00pm to 3.00pm.
Tide: LW-2 to LW+2. Spring tide.
Weather: Clear, light SW breeze.
Sea: Calm, strong current on flood.
Tackle & Bait: 3 hook flappers, mackerel strips and lug
Fishing: Flounder came in at the start. No bites after.
Comments: Really nice day after the bad weather on the weekend. Flounder was a good size at nearly 1lb and was caught on the ebb. No bites after that and the current got very strong on the flood tide taking the rigs quickly towards Pendine.

Watwick Bay (2 Whiting, 1 Pouting, 1 Dab)

Watwick Bay 21/12/2007
Time: 7.00pm to 11.00pm.
Tide: LW+3 to LW+1. Neap, ebb tide.
Weather: Cold, light SE wind, dry.
Sea: Calm.
Tackle & Bait: Mackerel flappers.
Fishing: Whiting not a bad size, but the pouting and dab were very small.
Comments: Watwick steps were difficult to fish at low water with too many rocks in front of the mark. Went to the beach instead and caught a few fish as the tide went out. Bites stopped as the tide turned.

Freshwater East (4 Whiting, 1 Turbot)

Freshwater East 18/12/2007
Time: 4.00pm to 6.30pm.
Tide: LW-3 to LW. Neap tide.
Weather: Cold, dry, easterly wind.
Sea: Moderate.
Tackle & Bait: Usual 3 hook mackerel baits
Fishing: Good. Little flattie came in early with the whiting after dark.
Comments: Haven't been to Fresh East before fishing and didn't expect much as I only had time to fish the last of the ebb. Was pleased to get the whiting, 2 of which were about 1/2 lb and good for the table. Had to leave at the turn of the tide and met a few other anglers on the way down from the car park. It would probably have fished well for whiting on the flood and I'll try and get back there this week or over xmas.

Hobbs Point (1 Dogfish)

Hobbs Point 15/12/2007
Time: 5.00pm to 8.00pm.
Tide: LW+1 to LW+4. Spring, flood tide.
Weather: Strong SE wind. Dry.
Sea: Calm in the Haven. Rough elsewhere.
Tackle & Bait: Flappers & whole mackerel for conger.
Fishing: Slow.
Comments: Went to Ceibwr Bay in the afternoon thinking that there was a chance of some shelter from the strong SE winds. It wasn't too windy but the sea was so rough with a large swell that it was not good fishing conditions. Headed to Pembroke to give Hobbs Point a try. Quite a few others there but the fishing was very slow. A few small dogfish were pulled in and nothing else. Lost a few rigs in the rough ground.

Dale Fort (1 Pouting)

Dale Fort 13/12/2007
Time: 4.00pm to 6.00pm.
Tide: HW-4 to HW-2. Spring, flood tide.
Weather: Dry, but very windy from SE
Sea: Choppy
Tackle & Bait: Usual flappers & mackerel
Fishing: Pants!
Comments: One pouting speaks for itself really. Tried Nolton Haven rocks to start with and it was too rough. Thought Dale might be a little better but the SE wind was very strong and made fishing difficult. Had enough of the rods being blown over after a couple of hours. Used the poor little pouting as live bait for conger, huss or maybe even cod, but nothing doing!
