Nice to see you using Turkana Leads Wayne - Great Video!

[@tafflaff]

Went today on green banks by concrete cube drain. Loads of good bites but drew a blank. The bait from Anglers corner was amazingly fresh and the guys in the shop were so helpful. Thanks so much for this vid.

[@waynecoco1]

Better there on a lower scale tide 👍 try around the ash tips or boating club area on the higher ones

[@tafflaff]

@@waynecoco1 Thankyou, what do you class as low?

Under the railway bridge is a really good spot on the river lougher

[@steveforster3420]

Good vid mate,,only got back into fishing two years ago as I'm 35 now and done with the night time lifestyle and hangovers lol..last time I fished there was when I was twelve with the old man,,we used to fish the Swansea side in the little old car park and walk under a little bridge if you get me..is the mark your on a short walk up past the boating club? As i been thinking of loughor for a while and now the diesel spill is all good and winter here your video has made me decide on going there end of the month sometime,if I go there il call in to see if you got maddies ect..caught my first flounder there and schoolie on my first ever fishing trip as a kid with my dad,,the old man also lost a rig but went down early next morning and managed to hand pull it back in by luck and chance and there was a flounder on it alive and well but took it home (true story) lol..hope to see some more vids maybe around mumbles Gower ect,good to see close to home areas fishing nice..stay safe 👍

[@waynecoco1]

Yes I park behind the boating club and just over the grass bank . I have some great memories of fishing there in the past all good times . Good luck if you decide to go let us know how you get on 👍 thanks

[@steveforster3420]

Will do mate asking as the weather calms down lol..as I ain't been there in years are the mid tides best/safest to go..as I know Llanelli and Swansea tides are slightly different ect..

[@waynecoco1]

I always pick tides between 5.8 m and 7 m on llanelli scale buddy

[@BritChopper]

I've had some whoppers off the new (ish) slip, by the pump station, just before Llanelli beach.

[@waynecoco1]

Yes nice easy place to fish there , also good for bass

[@RhysFishes]

enjoyed that. what time of the tide does this mark fish best?

[@waynecoco1]

I always fish two and a half hrs either side of high water . Back tide has been better this year 👍

[@mikegale2100]

Hi Wayne, great vid. Planning a trip up from Poole later this year as Covid blew that away before Christmas. Had to promise the other half a Christmas shopping weekend away to get the OK... I have spotted the area in front of the caravan site to the west but you seem to be up by the Loughor Boating Club, is that right and if so how far past it? I want to try both spots over the weekend. Also I know smaller tides are best, but does day or night make any difference or more the tide state. Will Anglers Corner be OK with an Englishman prizing some Maddies from them :)

[@waynecoco1]

Hi Mike , thanks for that . When I fishing for flounder I find fishing in daylight produces much more fish . I’d target fish from around the boat club between November and February as this is when the flounder move further up . Before and after those dates I’d stick with fishing closer to the caravan park . Look for features and gullies that may hold fish . There are rocks in some parts of the river so if it’s bass you want , fish near them . Low tides are always easier , and produce more fish with both bait and lures . I no longer work at the shop but I’m sure they would have some available . Good luck and let us know how you get on 👍

[@davidprobert8223]

Great video, very informative. are you on Swansea side or Llanelli side.Whats the best height of tide to fish, i know it runs really fast there?

[@waynecoco1]

Swansea side David I’d pick tides between 6 and 7 meters

[@davidprobert8223]

What do you think the best time of tides to fish there?

[@waynecoco1]

@@davidprobert8223 2 and half hours each side of high water . The most productive has been the back tide lately

[@supergluefrown]

If you don’t mind me asking, how long was the trace you were using? Looked pretty long snoods ? Cheers great video

[@waynecoco1]

Thanks , I use different snood lengths depending on conditions . That day they would of been 24 inch .

[@tafflaff]

Would you be able to tell me the best place to park up. Never been to lougher before and I can't walk very far. Loved the vid

[@waynecoco1]

You can park near the Lougher boating club and fish there 👍 good luck

[@tafflaff]

@@waynecoco1 thankyou for reply. Loving the videos. Reignited my love of fishing.

[@andymanx2466]

Awesome vid pal, never fished that side of the estuary, sensitivity on that rod looks sweet too... didnt catch the model of tronix it was though?

[@waynecoco1]

Thanks , the rod was the tronix blaze cx2 lovely bit of kit

[@markbennett4957]

Is that a twin tip rod ?

[@andygoethals7163]

@@markbennett4957 yes

[@mikewilliams8219]

When you say tide height on the Llanelli scale is that the same as Bury Port?

[@waynecoco1]

I read the north dock tide table Mike , can be purchased from anglers corner 60 p buddy 👍

[@user-zc5ft9nw9b]

You were baiting up the second rig, after that first little knock, whilst you were talking to the camera the rod went right over, the first thing i thought was that looks like a bass, definitely not a flounder bite. interesting to see you online not in the shop. Cheers. Lee. Ps what were them apocalyptic noises at minute 37:59 and minute 38:07? The foundry?

[@waynecoco1]

When using soft rods I’ve had many a flounder do that 🙈 looking back it could well of been a bass , I didn’t hook it this time the reason being my hooks were a little small . Yes the noise was probably from the works behind lol .

[@stephenm8133]

I was surprised to see you discard baits you had reeled in - they looked worth another swim to me. What is the thinking there, please?

[@waynecoco1]

I use fresh bait each cast usually as this offers more scent 👍

[@rhyswilliams1413]

Another great video. Very informative. Planning on fishing there this weekend as tides are looking good but further down near the bridge on Llanelli side. Would you recommend that or stick to where you were? Also, are maddies and lug still the go-to bait?

[@waynecoco1]

Thank you . Yes I’d go with maddies and lug but I’d go further down towards llanelli to the right hand side of the gateway caravan park good luck and let us know how you get on 👍

[@rhyswilliams1413]

@@waynecoco1 great stuff thanks. Will let you know if manage find anywhere selling live bait.

[@rhyswilliams1413]

Not a bite in 2 days of fishing down there!

@@rhyswilliams1413 gutted ! There’s a few been caught down there but the fishing is very slow . I know an angler had a couple out of the gowerton pill on Sunday . Try the open beaches that be a better shout 👍

Hi Wayne wat are they catching in lougher, any nice size flounders fella

[@waynecoco1]

Still catching a few there Mike . Although it’s generally harder now . Pick the smaller tides and fish closer to the open sea . 👍
