Weather: Dry, light SW wind
Sea: Calm
Tackle & Bait: Mackerel strips & live whiting
Fishing: Busy with dogs & whiting
Comments: Went to the ledges near the key at first and found them occupied so headed across Barafundle to Latice Windows. Spoke to 2 lads fishing on the first ledges and they had a bag of Mackerel. Fishing was busy with the usual dogfish and whiting. Tried live baiting the whiting but the dog fish just ate those as well! Took the spinning rod and tried feathers but didn't hit any mackerel.

Morfa Bychan 04/04/2008

Tide: LW-1 to HW. Spring, flood tide.
Weather: Overcast, steady cold w breeze.
Sea: Moderate.
Tackle & Bait: Mackerel.
Fishing: Slow.
Comments: First paddle out on the new yak so spent a lot of time getting used to things and trying things out. Did a bit of fishing and got one dogfish, otherwise no bite and nothing showing on the fish finder. After coming in I spoke to a chap who had been fishing the shore all the time I was out and he had a bag of flounder - about 8. He caught them as the tide was coming in over the lug beads.
