llandudno pier

[Nude up]

Had a great day today I went to llandudno in wales with my sister she went shopping I hit the pier with a rod I borrowed from one of my nephews. I paid my 5 pounds to fish off the pier bought some lug worms a couple of sinkers and a few hooks then made my way to the end of the pier.
I set up and cast in I got talking with a bloke who had retired there and fished the pier 4 days a week he pays 60 pound for a yearly ticket, anyway I had a few bites and lost them got snagged lost the sinkers I was going to go and buy more when george steps in gives me more sinkers and rigs even a cup of coffee very friendly.
I suddenly hit a purple patch of dogfish a kind of shark which has the roughest skin ever the first one wrapped itself round my arm and took the skin off there was heaps of these a real pain. I struck into another fish this one feels different mackerel ended up with a few. I gave the fish to george I was just happy to have a fish.
Hopefully I will get another chance next week on the east coast.

Nice report.
What are the fishing facilities like down there.
Always good to see an overseas report.

Only anglers are allowed on this lower platform. On the main pier there was a bar you could buy take out stubbies and an amusement arcade for the young at heart also a toilet very turn of the century english holiday area took me back to my childhood

Nice one nudey! International fishing extraordinaire. Paul worstling look out.

They look like slimeys, however an ex Pom tried eating some slimeys I caught and informs me the ones you have there are much tastier.

You find lug worms in estuary areas you look for worm like sand piled up and dig them they are about 15cm long and black in colour they are great bait they withstand a fair cast fairly fat things
