| The beautiful and rugged Pembrokeshire Coast |
I love Wales. There's something about it that keeps me going back for more. This was my 3rd visit and the more I go the more the potential of the fishing reveals itself to me. Miles and miles of unspoilt beaches, towering cliffs and rocky shoreline are enough to keep the most avid angler entertained for many years.
This trip was focused around the Gower peninsular and the Pembrokeshire coast. The weather can be predictably wet and miserable given the proximity to the Atlantic ocean and the inbound weather patterns that come with it. This time we were lucky though with largely sunny days and cool nights, although a little breezy at times. On the whole pretty good!
It was just a long weekend visit so fishing time was limited. The first night was spent fishing the surf on a beautiful, deserted surf beach near to Port Einon. The action was pitiful with one decent bite all night that never developed into anything more. The freshly dug Lugworm I had was excellent, I expected better things to be honest...but that's fishing for you!
The other session was spent fishing into deep water off a couple of rock marks....Wrasse and Pollack country. The wind was howling on this day and it was hard to judge the bites properly, but eventually I managed to sneak out a few wrasse on my ragworm baits. They are always hard fighters and very welcome. The best was probably 2lb + but it's not about the sizes for me. Just being there perched on a rock with the wind in your hair and salt water spray on your face is enough for me. Fish like these are truly an added bonus. Happy Days! I'll be back......
