Hopefully, you guys appreciate by now, that I like to show fishing fit what it really is. It can be relaxing, good for the mind and soul, a great way to pass the time. But sometimes it's hard work, a lot of trial and error, a lot of time driving around looking for new spots, or changing locations due to the weather.
This video I'll show you my morning on Anglesey. Searching for a spot sheltered from the winds. Whilst also checking in on some old spots and scouting out new ones.
As 'out of towners' we can get a bad rep when asking on local forums, 'how's such and such fishing?' Its a frustration of mine too when part-time anglers ask where's this when posting a picture of your catch. Some people just want the fish, without the effort. It's usually these lazy anglers who also leave all their crap behind and ruin good marks too.
But for some of us, asking those questions means it's not a wasted 200mile round trip. Or a morning driving scouting out for somewhere to fish.
Hopefully in this video, you can see the efforts that some anglers have to go to, that often result in nothing at all. But this is the sport we choose, and to me, this is what makes those red letter days all that bit sweeter!!
On that note, a few guys have asked about memberships to the channel. it's something I'm torn on. It seems a bit cheeky to me, but hey, who am I to say no.
If you're not already subscribed, it helps a lot, its completely free, so hit the subscribe button.
And if you want to help out that little bit more, £1.99/month memberships are now also available.
I appreciate everyone of you ❤️ thanks for the support! Until next time, take care, and tight lines 👍🏼

Eyup fella. It's good to see you getting out there and getting amongst it. I must have picked up about thirty quids worth of weights on my local beach at low tide by following line that I had decided to pick up and bin so it's well worth doing. We all lose gear so we should all be picking up after one another. I'll sithi after! Dave.

@theawfulangler Жыл бұрын
That's it Dave, all snap off at times, it happens. In this case there were other bits along the wall, looked like someone just cut their gear off packed up and left. Like you say, we should all look out for the environment around us that we enjoy so much.

I'm keeping an eye to see if it calms down again enough to be fishable by the weekend. By South, I mean literally for a couple miles before heading across to Anglesey. If I were headed south then it would be the Bristol Channel, but it doesn't seem to be fishing well as of late. And the winds would make for uncomfortable conditions

Top many for the effort and dedication you put in where most of us would have packed up and gone home. I was brought up fishing the breakwater from the age of 6 and now in my 50's and I've seen allsorts being caught there over the years. I was fishing there about 20 years ago with my mate and it was packed with holidaymakers. Anyway my mate hooked into something heavy and managed to get it to the side and handball it up. Everybody there was waiting to see what he had caught. It was a hessian sack which flipping stank and when he opened it a load of dead puppies fell out. Some sly git must have drowned them there the cruel bas*ard. I know a 100% if the weather was better you would have caught or at least been able to see the bites. Never rated Wylfa Head under the lookout as I've only caught doggies there and the current is pretty strong. One thing about Anglesey is no matter where the wind comes fro there is always somewhere you can fish. It's a shame about the litter but once they start other people think it's alright and chuck their carp on top of it when normally they wouldn't. It's like graffiti when one person tags a wall and before you know it everyone thinks it's ok and join in. Can't wait for your next outing but I would try and get hold of Gamekeeper John for a session as not only would it be good to watch it will seriously up your views and subscribers. Hope the little one is doing well and I can see him fishing with his Dad when he gets older and making some good memories.

A friend of my dad once hooked in to a large skate, which turned out to be a chunk of carpet 🤣 finding the dead puppies would have finished me off though 😭 I've never actually fished under the lookout, personally really rate the bay, around by the outfall pipe, although the fish all have 3 eyes and an extra fin 🤭 Agree with your comment though, I can't think of a single time where we haven't been able to find somewhere to fish regardless of the weather! I'd love to fish with John. He seems to be a top bloke from his videos. Jacks doing great thanks mate. Hopefully not have many more weeks of freedom until he's allowed home 🤞🏼

@The Awful Angler suggestion Ig ive got tides right fish over high tide otterspool mersey for Cod, then head over Anglesey, there's a good few spots that will fish well for multi species high or low tide, Herring, macs n whiting plus congee Amlwch, breakwater and little harbour, also Llanbadrig, chance of same species but also coalie and pollack.

If I go that way, my plan is... Mostyn to start, as its a small tides this week. Maybe squeeze in moel y Don over low depending how mostyn was fishing. Holyhead for the high. Sunday looking at the winds would be north side of the island somewhere. Then back to the mersey for the high in the afternoon. Just not sure if I'm ready for another slow weekend on Anglesey yet 🤣
