KKYum is on a distinguished road
Aberthaw Sat 23.08.08

Took the boat down to Aberthaw on Sat - went down on the dropping tide and fished 3 hours down and one up. The fishing was very slow on the drop. Didn't get a fish until low water, then had a very nice 25lb conger. No hounds in sight - from a mark that I usually do very well from.
Finished the day with 2 congers, a small cod and a baby tope. The weather wasn't great so I came back a little earlier than planned as it feels a long way from home down there. Unfortunately the fish seemed to be coming on as the tide turned and I left for home. Better safe than sorry. Got a good soaking on the way home.
On the plus side - the conger is the biggest fish I've had on the boat and a conger pb for me!

Regards
KKyum

PS I am looking for fishing buddies to help share the costs of taking the boat out. Anyone who is interested please get in touch. Cheers KKyum

Re: Aberthaw Sat 23.08.08

Well done KKYum, I went down there on Friday. My mate had a conger of 11lb and the wind got up so we had to come home early too. Punched against the tide both ways because of the bad forecast again. The wind was supposed to decrease but it actually got worse by about 10mph....Might try the English ansd Welsh on thursday...weather permitting.
