Fishing North Wales

With strong winds forecast, this week I decided to head over to North Wales in search of some surf and silver bars. Following the low water beach session, with the wind and weed, I decided to head away from the coast.
This weeks tackle of choice:
Akios Airlyte 355 1-4oz
Century Nsure 1-4oz
Akios Fury FX420 4-6oz
Akios Airpower Rxp 435 4-8oz
Penn Spinfisher 5500lc & 7500lc
Loop and Pennel rigs
Baits of choice were lug worm, rag worm, and squid
Thanks for watching, take care & tight lines
Alex

Whey hey! No more Mostyn Blues. Well done Alex. Perseverance pays. Onwards and upwards. Till the next one, tight lines.

[@theawfulangler]

Cheers Ray, you never know, I might be learning a thing or 2

[@AnthonyDoherty-mi1sj]

Lovely scenery, what a lucky lad nice day for fishing 🎉🎉

[@theawfulangler]

Thanks mate, about time the weather started to pick up

[@russellgibbon8621]

Pleased for you with the ray that breaks the Mostyn curse. Great quality video and, especially, the audio via the mike you have somewhere on your person. Thank you and good luck.

[@theawfulangler]

Cheers Russell! I need to have a play with the mic settings at some point, no one needs to hear me breathe 🤣

[@richiethespark]

Well done on your Ray fella. You deserved that for the effort you put into your fishing and filming. Thanks for sharing

[@theawfulangler]

Thanks Richie, appreciate it 🎣

[@leonmarkrodziewicz279]

Lovely Thornback you got there Alex. Great blank saver and at Mostyn too!

[@theawfulangler]

I know, if I hadn't been so tired the grin would have been from ear to ear

[@neilconway4125]

You've opened the door now mate, it'll be madness nextime🤞🤞

[@theawfulangler]

Here's hoping mate 🤞🏼

[@marksuttonbiodynamicbreath2374]

Congrats on the Ray!

[@theawfulangler]

Thanks Mark 👍🏼

[@SteveLofthouse_]

So now you can say, with complete confidence and utmost honesty that, by definition, you are not insane! 🤣 Nice one👍

[@theawfulangler]

I'll say it with some confidence, not quite utmost 😂😂

[@castersfishingwales2038]

Nice one Alex bud! think Tommy's giving you the run around lol!

[@theawfulangler]

Yeah be sticking with my gut from now on 😉

[@gregpodmore2850]

Thanks Alex. Had the same problems on the estuary. ( caught in exactly the same spot a few years ago) but it's hard work with the fast tide. Well done Mostyn, never fished it. 😢. Take care and god bless to you and your crew 🙏

[@theawfulangler]

Thanks Greg. Conwy estuary is a lovely spot. But I think it would be better with lures as the tide runs, and then baits maybe an hour either side.

[@gregpodmore2850]

@@theawfulangler yep it's fast and weedy. Fished off the pontoon last time. 👍

[@TipoftheHook]

Not much fish 🤷‍♂, but video is awesome👍! Loved it, keep them coming🤩💯! Watching you all the way from Kazakhstan 😉🖐

[@theawfulangler]

Thanks very much. Kazakhstan is a new country to tick off the list, pretty sure you're the first person. How is the fishing where you are?

[@TipoftheHook]

@@theawfulangler There will be more of us for sure 😉💯😁, just keep on doing greight fishing videos 🤩! Fishing here in Kazakhstan is awesome as well 👍, the only difference is that we are not surrounded by any ocean! It is our awesome lakes and beautiful rivers😍, and ice fishing lasts here almost 6 months in a year 🤦‍♂🤣😂🤣

[@colinbennington4157]

Hi Alex, great videos as usual. I’m going down West Wales St David’s next week fishing and to chill out. I’ve had a bad 6 months. What the hell just go for it as they say.

[@theawfulangler]

Well in that case Colin mate, all the very best of luck mate, you deserve a few specimens 🎣👌🏽

[@gordoncarass2360]

Nice result at the end of a bit an arduous session.

[@theawfulangler]

Took a bit of effort but managed to winkle one out in the end 👌🏽

[@garymoore581]

We have to change your name to the dog whisperer we have a lot of old dogs on the isle of wight all the best gary

[@theawfulangler]

Sound idilic mate. I'd love to set up a rescue shelter but I know I wouldn't be able to turn a blind eye

[@mark310366]

Gotta love a Ray.

[@theawfulangler]

And the rays seem to love me

[@mickwalsh8136]

Be careful as one ray doesn't make a summer lol,although I hope the floodgates open for you now,keep doing what your doing, top class

[@theawfulangler]

Oh I'm not going to take my foot off the gas now. But it is good when tweaking the tactics pays off

[@mickwalsh8136]

@@theawfulangler to true,it's good when a plan comes together, I was there last week for a night in my camper,got a thorny, 2 good plaice and a 380 mm flounder all on peeler at the near corner of the beach, but every days different as you know bud,love the channel

[@theawfulangler]

I do like it on that corner mate. Being midlands based and with so many traps getting smashed by storms, it's almost impossible for me to get my hands on peeler so far this year

[@kevinwilliams4899]

Nice one Alex. Determination finaly paid off. I'm offDown to Dover on Weds, Smoothouds to 10lb and Thornbacks to the same have been recorded this past week, so I know i'll get 14 doggies and a couple of little Pouting. But this time I am going to try for a conger as well.

[@theawfulangler]

Very best of luck Kevin. I would love to see a report on the awful anglers Facebook group if you're in there.

[@kevinwilliams4899]

@@theawfulangler Thanks I will give it a go.

[@SJHClips]

Evening Alex. In case you’re interested I saw with my own four eyes a lovely bass of about 45 cm being caught at low water at “Cod Corner”, Woodside, Birkenhead this afternoon, and the guy had already caught one before I was there. Bass in the Mersey. Get in.

[@theawfulangler]

Thanks for that mate, made choosing a venue for today even harder now 😂😂

[@mumtazzafar5696]

Great vlog m8.. keep them coming

[@theawfulangler]

Thanks Mumtaz 👍🏼

[@fishingcountrylifewithtommyjoe]

Don't listen to me m8t absolutely clueless 😂 talk a good talk 😂

Nice Ray you deserved that for never giving up, TIGHT LINES.

Never know what the next cast might bring

Happy Sunday

[@theawfulangler]

Same to you Neil! 🎣

[@MrCW1979]

Sandeel works a treat at Conwy 👍🏻

[@theawfulangler]

Good to know mate thanks

[@Soupman70]

If at first you don't succeed or 2nd.....anyway well in need to try Mostyn still haven't been

[@theawfulangler]

Or in my case with mostyn, 29th times a charm 😂

[@peterhodgson7687]

Canny ray 🎣🎣

[@theawfulangler]

Thanks mate

[@mtadave6702]

Sent that way and the hounds are being caught off the cob in Holyhead now, it's that time.e of year again. You fish off the old cob, where you drive through valley to get there.

[@theawfulangler]

Yeah they're on their way. Just need to find a good supply of peelers

[@mtadave6702]

@@theawfulangler they also take prawns, in fact a lot of anglers down south Wales prefer to use the ammo/riot prawns, and a hound is a hound, crusty eaters 😉 in fact they are already there, watch Anglesey tight lines last video bud. That's where he was.

[@theawfulangler]

They're there for sure, but only the pups, the big girls are yet to move in. I've never done any good on prawn, but there's tome to change that

[@andybowyer3602]

Mostyn completed 😊👍

[@theawfulangler]

No, no, no! I still need a monster plaice, I'm far from done 😅

[@andybowyer3602]

@theawfulangler oh i am sorry, another visit soon Then Al?

[@theawfulangler]

@andybowyer3602 absolutely mate. Weather, depending, could be an all-day session this week. This wind just needs to make it's mind up what it wants to do

[@andybowyer3602]

@theawfulangler yeah I'm on the wirral almost opposite Mostyn an I can tell you that wind has a chill to it!

[@theawfulangler]

It was bitter on this evening too. Soon as the sun went down the temp went with it. Still 50/50 holderness or mostyn/mersey, so watch this space

[@derekrushton8675]

If you’d gone another two or three hundred metres you might have had a chance But local knowledge needs listening to Local lad

[@theawfulangler]

Another 2 or 300 meters and I'd have been in the drink
