My Fishy Adventures in Wales : Kidwelly & Burry Port (180624) 4K

I went to Wales on the hunt for mullet and bass on the fly, I ended up catching smooth-hound on a new beach rod I had to buy because the wind made fly fishing and spinning almost impossible.
I did catch a monster smooth-hound though!

Thanks David. That was a bugger to do. My wife’s shooting with the phone was critical. AND I learned the Jack Hargreaves Voiceover.

good video, The ironic thing for me ( i used to live and fish in burry Port) is that the spot your catching those smoothhounds was all slag stone and muscle beds back in the 90s, nothing but rocks as far as the eye could see, thats why it was called the black point, but it had the same deep channel right in close, it was an awesome bass mark, they'd feed on the crab close in amongst the rocks, lots of big bass where also caught on plugs all around there, but the smooth hounds where pretty much non existent in that area unless you went further out on a boat or down to cefn sidan beach, the Sandy beach environment has obviously attracted different fish to the area over the years. I don't go down that way much anymore, so its interesting to see how things have changed, thanks for the upload.

@@Dave_177 One of the locals told me the story of the place. My understanding is the sand shifted naturally. The deep water channel opposite the old lighthouse on the other side is an even better spot for smooth-hound.

Theres feeding mullet and theres frenzied feeding mullet. The frenzied variety will take a fly more readily than the latter. Seeing mulet grazing is my biggest learning. I think they go in to frenzy mode and sound like pigs at a trough. I think I've learned that fly takeable mullet , have to exhibit this frenzied behaviour...not always the case, as some anglers do well fishing static on muddy estuaries...

Those mullet are after the turds coming downstream😂
