I just hope it's not too late in June, as I'm getting married mid-July, and the chances of getting away towards the end will be restricted, I suspect.

Cheers,

Getting better by the minute mate! June will be busy, possible Tidemills meet, Climping meet and then Portland Bill in July! On top of that, freshwater meets with Paul, Pingu and Dan. What a busy summer, best do lots of DIY and gardening soon to keep things sweet at home!

OK Juan, looks like we have a bit of an invasion force building up, just need to have the word to "Man the Boats" and we'll be paddling over!

Any news on possible dates for a shore fest yet?

juan i think theres only 5 mins difference between swansea and milford.

hey welsh wizard cheers mate. we are lookin for a weekend in june or july which has tides between 38ft and 41ft preferably with high tide around late afternoon. if you could possibly have a quick scan and type the dates with the tide times and heights which fit this criteria i will create a new thread detailing what i intend doing to all these English people when they invade our coastline! lol

on a serious note though if you would do that for me that will enable me to host a forum fishing bonanza consisting of;

*An 8hr boat trip fishing light line tactics on the drift for bass and black bream

*An early morning bass session where I will blindfold all attendees and take them to my favourite mark for plugging

*And last but certainlyy not least a 5-6hr session where we will head toward Bluepool or Worms Head and target the smoothhound.

Of course this will be 2 days of fishing - I will be happy to assist in arranging camping or accomodation for those interested in attending both days or you are welcome to attend one or the other.
Anyway - if you can get some nice weekend tides for june and july posted here I will write a proper thread and see what interest we have.

Cheers mate

John, you're a hero, that sounds like a brilliant weekend, camping most preferable for me. I'm definitely in for this one

thanx rob. unfortunately if you wish to camp i can only think of two suitable campsites.

lets see - theres port eynon on the south coast of gower. the campsite is a whopping 2minutes walk from the beach and rock marks (12lb bass and 11lb bass were the last tiddlers i heard of coming from here last november to the same angler!!). Facilities include chip shops and even a shop where u can buy bucket and spades - just incase u feel like exploiting the untouched lugworm beds on the beach.

or perhaps if push comes to shove you would have to camp at Llangennith. Again 2minutes from the beach - and yes this is the beach that a 16lb 30z former welsh record bass was caught from in the 70's. Theres a pub full of surfey chicks and a free minibus that ferries u from the pub to the only club on gower and then back to the campsite for a fee of £2!! camping here costs £11 per night per tent.
if you would like to learn more about llangennith take a look at the pics and info on my website (at the bottom of this thread)
