Fishing in South Wales


Recommended Posts

Evening all! Still working through my backlog. This one is from the last day of the river season. Was a bit of a mission, but was a good result all round at the end of the day! Have a read here - http://coarsefishingpaul.blogspot.co.uk

Almost through my backlog, just typing up my most recent session. Just posted my most recent trip to Lands End specimen lake. Was a good trip, shame it wasn't a little bit warmer.

Starting a new job has meant my blog writing has fallen really far behind. Here is the write up of my most recent trip. Despite the weather it was a cracking day, plenty of fish and a few chunky puddle pigs.

So one of my most recent trips, and my most recent write up involved a trip to a "middle of nowhere fishery". Very scenic, off the beaten track (despite being very close to my house) bad sadly not well maintained.

I gave it a good go, and tried various tactics, but sadly only silvers came calling, and they were a bit sporadic. Still a nice day out and a trip which really tested some of things you may not always consider on regular trips to commie, it left my thinking, "was this what fishing was like before commercials?" No wonder 15lb of silvers was considered a good day!.

My next write up is of a belter of day at the Viaduct!

The rise in temperature has really brought the fish on since my last visit to the Viaduct. I took the father in law there for a good day out and it was fair too say we both had one.

I'm in a bit of a waiting period now. The river season is just under a month off and I feel as though I'm biding my time before I can get out there after some Chub, Roach and River Tench. But until then I find myself filling my time by visiting new venues (new to me) and seeing what they have to offer. I wasn't really expecting a great deal when I made my decision to fish Mangerton Mill fishing lake. I was very pleasantly surprised to say I was very, very wrong. This place is absolutely stuffed full of quality fish, from a few lbs to well over 20+. I cannot wait to go back, catch Carp at all depths in the water as well as a myriad of other species.

 

This includes

clonking great big roach

and absolutely huge Perch (which oddly seem to favour sweetcorn)

I'm looking forward to getting back there and trying to winkle out a proper lump on paste, and aim to giving it another whirl over the next few weeks.

Until then read how I got on here - http://coarsefishingpaul.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/trip-81-mangerton-mill.html

Evening all,

 

Just managed to get a new blog online, was only a quick trip for me this time but I only had a few hours spare. I headed out to a nearby fishery and aimed for some of the resident Carp in the afternoon sun. Was a nice day out and managed a low double ad was then visited on the bank by a large group of spectators.

Afternoon folks, I've just got my most recent fishing blog online. This one has 2 fold reasoning, 1. It's getting to that time of year 2. A recent request by a blog reader. Obviously everyone's take on making it is different but this is my tried and tested pellet paste recipe.

Afternoon all, bit of a delay in getting this post online, life has been so flipping busy recently. That said I've managed to get my most recent blog written up and online.

 

Was a great day (initially) with plenty of fish... until disaster struck...

 

Had to resort to traditional methods...

Fortunately I still managed a few..
