Ladye Bay - Friday 17th Feb

[tonybolton]

Am thinking of fishing Ladye Bay this Friday with a mate, bit of a treck from deepest Hampshire, but hey why not?

Problem is . . .

all i know about Ladye Bay is what i've managed to read in the forum plus a bit off the web, can anyone tell me where to head when we get there for a fish, and what we might expect to see, get my bearings etc.

All help will be much appreciated.

Thanks, Tony

well not that im on sammy's side or anything... but if your traveling the distance why not fish sammy's beach league on slapton sands instead and possibly earn a few quid for your troubles.. just an idea

as for layde bay im afraid the north coast is out of my league and i have no idea so cannot help sorry

[tonybolton]

I only go that far if I'm going on me hols!

Thanks for the offer but Bristol is only a couple of hours away, Slapton is at least 3. Will just have to fish me own competition - the one for bragging rights on the drive home.

lol ok it was just a thought hundred quid for a doggy seems a good deal to me.. and with fishing as slow as i experienced tonight i bet it will be a single dog that decides it!

have fished Ladye bay a bit.....access is easy -just a longish walk along the cliff path from the clevedon end. Drop down onto the ledges after the path straightens out. You can fish over high water from the rock ledges or drop down onto the sand to fish over low water. You'll need fast retrieve reels here to crank the fish over the rocks at high water. There are better marks on the Bristol Channel. Check out the Veals Mail Order website for more info.
Hope this helps

Devondave, cheers for the plug mate; does that mean you're planning on having a go?????

I have infact ordered fish to be delivered from other shores, along with good weather and beer and dancing girls for the after match weigh-in!!!!

Hope to see you there.

cheers rob

myself i would love to make one of them at least sammy but... leaving in torbay finding transport is proving a problem and so i cant get there..

as for the nice weather youve ordered...

tell the met office that ive seen the forecast lol

there are better mark's,but few offer such deep water over the high tide,although on the largest tides holding bottom is a bit like portishead,virtually impossible,and when the tides starts out it's the same!
good luck for friday and mind your footing,it can be hazardous.

Viper,

cheers for the info.

I'm planning to fish with pulley/pennels (3/0 and 2/0) with decent sized lug/suid baits (am taking some rag/mackie as well). I've set them up for rotten bottom and am going to up my mainline to about 30lb.

What do you reckon?

Cheers, Tony
