| The stunning Pembrokeshire Coastline |
August is a bit of a funny month for the fishing. Everything in the aquatic world seems to get a little stale. With the high water temperatures the fish seem to get a little lethargic and sport slows. Well that's my excuse anyway!

| Wrasse from the rocks in Wales |
I didn't have a great month fishing- wise, in part because I was working solidly and also had 2 weeks away, leaving very little time to actually indulge in any fishing at all.

| Best of the bunch |
I managed a few short sessions here and there though. I blanked at Selsey Bill fishing for bass and hounds, lost a big sea trout in my local estuary and blanked twice when out looking for mullet...they just haven't been around this year. Very worrying indeed...my feelings are that the netsmen have had them all. So I didn't have a lot of luck really!

| My modest Undulate Ray...it's a start |
The only success I did have was catching a small undulate ray from the beach at Shoreham one night and a few wrasse whilst away on holiday in Wales. The Ray was a significant catch as it broke my little spell of blanks, so I was happy about that. It's one of my saltwater targets for the year, a double figure specimen is what I'm looking for. They seem to be making a comeback these days.
Roll on September!!
