| oxwich 8/7 had the day off yesterday and as the forecast wasnt too bad decided to go down to oxwich with the kayak with the light gear and some old rag and squid i had knocking around. lovely morining got there about 10 unfortunatley the weather man had the wind speed and direction wrong again....forecast to be north westerly but was definatley comming in north easterly and at times really strong too but can't really complain. started off amoungst the boats moored in the bay and was into fish straight away, had gobeys, scorpion fish and loads of dabs with most being over 10" in size   surprising they give a good account for themselves on 8lb line and a 20 gram spinning rod. by the time they started to drop off abit my backside was getting numb so paddled in for a stretch of the legs and a pee break and decided to fish the wreck so nice and easy to change rigs etc on shore.  managed to drop the anchor straight into the rough stuff and the fishing carried on non stop all afternoon with loads of tiny pointing no bigger than 3" also had loads of wrasse upto about the pound mark too which was fun.  Towards late afternoon hooked into something much better and a trigger appeared out of the depths, obviously didn't like what he saw and no joke bit though the metal of the hook leaving me with an eye and a straight bit!!!! all in all had a great day with over a dozen dabs, half a dozen assorted micro species, 20 odd pout and about 15 wrasse. john __________________ 2012 targets - 180 yard measured cast, 10lb bull huss, 12lb blonde, 10lb hound, 8lb small eyed, spotted ray any size Last edited by Norfolkboy; 08-09-2007 at 04:53 PM.     |

yeah a large tank well for keeping beer in.......... seriously they are great fun alot of my fishing is within 500 yards from the shore but you'd be amazed at what you catch. They aren't the holy grail as some would let you believe but good fun non the less john __________________ 2012 targets - 180 yard measured cast, 10lb bull huss, 12lb blonde, 10lb hound, 8lb small eyed, spotted ray any size |

| Re: oxwich 8/7 Nice one John. I'd love to have a go at fishing from a 'yak, but knowing me I'd get myself into trouble inside of 15 mins.  Great report mate. __________________ Right then, checklist: Rods. Check. Reels. Check. Speckled Hen. Check. Bait…… BAIT! Sh*t, where’s the bait? |
