| Gower Trip just got back this evening from 9 days down the gower...and boy was i lucky with the weather. arrived with 30mph winds lashing port eynon campsite which made putting up the tent amusing.... its no wonder i managed to get such a good place overlooking the beach/rocks...and as soon as i had finished struggling...bang the wind dropped and didn't pick up too bad for the whole time i was there.  anyone who has been to port eynon will know that the stretch of coast line from here to worms head is formidably rough. so avoiding some of the better known marks littered with ammo plastic and beer cans i made my way to explore and found found this little gem.  which threw up a couple of these.....  and a surprise for around here... the colours really haven't come out on the photo but it must have been in the rocks and kelp for a while.  all in all i managed to pull 16 bass ranging from 2lb to 4 1/2lb with more bites than i care to remember missed and a handfull of good fish lost in the gulleys at my feet... with most evenings finishing much like this  also got out on the kayak and managed loads of pollack up to 2lb, more doggies than i'm going to mention a couple of rays and this thing....i haven't a clue what it is but can't really class it as a mini species the bugger was 6-8 inches long and had a set of teeth that whould put Janet Street Porter to shame...whicj i found out about when it took a good size chunk out of my hand  all in all i had a fantastic time fishing normally twice a day and collecting bait ...i struggled to make time for a beer.....ok ...not too much struggling. the fishing on the gower is really going well at the moment before the mackeral turn up in numbers to get the bass's attention...must add all fish returned to fight and breed another day...or two john __________________ Catch and Release fishing is a lot like a game of golf.
