I will give that a try to see if it helps ! TY for the advice

I ended up removing 2 of the 4 washers in it works better now !

The big Problem you will face is that its situated between 2 military basses which you have to stay a distance away from . So Pembrey to Laugharne will be a treacherous trip at low tide you have about 2 hours to make it, at Full tide even larger boats avoid that area and unless its a nice day . My best advice would be start about 2 to 3 hours before low tide and go straight from Pembrey beach in a straight line across to Pendine beach and stay just outside of the Sand Bars because the waves are so unpredictable they can peak and come from any direction because of the 3 rivers and the sea all meet together . I wish you good luck and safe passage sir .

@@cheapskate101 Thanks. We were aware of the firing ranges at Pembrey and Pendine but thought that on weekends when they were closed it was OK to paddle along those beaches? We tend to just hug the coast when we go sea kayaking. I'm not sure where the sand bars are in Carmarthen bay. On satellite imagery, there seem to be sandbanks roughly half way between the end of Cefn Sidan Sands and Ginst Point, is that the sandbar that you paddled over on your fishing trip? We were thinking maybe doing Kidwelly Quay to Pembrey or possibly Ferryside to Pembrey (or vice versa) but it's awkward since it will involve going against the tide for some of the route. It's just that we're trying to join up the dots on our plans to kayak all of the Wales coast, and Carmarthen bay is certainly one of the tricky sections to navigate safely!

@@TheKayakCrew so if you are going to do the route you have planned then do that on full tides Pembrey to Kidwelly key wont take to long about an hour or so as for trying to kayak against the tide forget it once that tide turns its a one way trip . The speed of the tide is bonkers around here you only have a couple of hours at low tide or top tide after that your at the mercy of the currents . I myself use the tide to travel the long distances out to sea with the out tide and back in on the in tide . so my advise would be 2 hour before top tide go Pembrey to kidwelly then go from kidwelly to ferryside cross over to llansteffan then kayak around to laurghane the whole trip should be possible in under 3 hours possibly less but it will be a tight schedule and fine weather would be best but most of all avoid any windy days as that will whip the waves up . good luck .

@@cheapskate101 Thanks again for the very useful info and your local knowledge. Yes, we appreciate the tides on the estuaries, we've paddled the Towy, Taf and a few other estuaries, know what you mean about trying to go against the tide. We mapped it as being 9 miles from Pembrey to Kidwelly Quay, so I think we'd take over 2 hours to do that. Is the tidal current strong on Cefn Sidan Sands? I presume it will be strong once we get into the estuaries but not sure about Cefn Sidan. We did launch at Pembrey once but went with the tide round into the Loughor and up to Llanelli thne back to Burry Pt. We tend to do routes between 8-12 miles if sea or estuary kayaking, we'll go a bit further if we are doing a river and have the current helping us downstream. So, I think your suggestion of going on to Llansteffan and then Laugharne may be too far for us tbh. I think we can do Pembrey to Kidwelly with an incoming tide though, presuming that the tide is not running too strong against us along Cefn Sidan sands. Would like to paddle up past the castle and back to the Quay

100% the Flying condom style lures my goto lure for Bass in Estuary !

@@cheapskate101 well that’s lucky… already got a couple of them! Thanks for the info 👍

i too was aware of the no bass fishing rule but i ( from around year 2000 on ) Ibelieve since the introduction of the new limited BASS take rules 2 per person per 24Hour session . The no fishing zones, information have disappeared from the internet . So i believe the old rules have been superseded by the newer rules which are for both shore and boat fishing .

@cheapskatefishing69 I've had a look into this and the by laws have been put into legislation . Inshore fisheries 2011 legislation states that no fishing from any vessel or boat of any description from May 1st - 31st Oct. It isn't just Bass it states no person shall fish for any sea fish. Only a heads up because its a hefty fine I'm not being the smfishi police, just a friendly heads up 👍 tried to put the link into the comment but won't let me copy across.

thanks for the heads up i struggled to find that before but using the info provided i found it again . so the important part of that legislation is the term used is any BOAT which Kayaks , canoes and paddleboards do not legally come under as they are termed by LAW as PADDLE CRAFT. i have spoken to the fishery officers and to be honest they don't even understand the law and legal definitions themselves so i told him he should as that was his job . The cut off lines on the badly drawn map is roughly from the llanstefan castle to the ferryside yachtclub which allows boats to be used upriver from there . Which i frequently do and in that video i am up river from there . But to be honest ive seen many proper engine boats fishing inside V lines@@chrismayor2542

Its definitely a case of Hit and Miss with a lot of the products on there . Some of the things ive had i was really pleased and happy with while others you can tell why they are so cheap .

I caught One worth keeping . But the word is that commercial fishing trawlers have been targeting the Flounder as its a Non quota catch and its decimated the Flounder population over the last 5 years .

So what I'm led to believe is that Black lug don't leave blow holes and lie straight in the burrows but common Lug do and lie in arcs in the burrow so you need to know the direction in which to pump ( Its a totally different technique for common Lug )

Nope no such thing as common lug lug is lug they all have bloe holes ,yellow tails are belived to ne juvenile black lug if u tread on sand near cast will always be a blow hole on every lug and they all live in an arc burrow like a u bend from hole to cast u have been miss informed

How do you know what angle and direction to put the pump in without the hole?

Good luck

No im down in south west wales .

Thanks and tight lines !!

yes agreed

seems to be pretty tough to me but i suppose if i fell on it against the rocks then yes it could damage but so could any other pump .

@@cheapskatefishing69steel ones are more solid

i think its around the 25g to 30g in weight it one of my heavier lures . Hope you have luck with it too .

Why can't they use olive oil

@@jc301-OTECH No need to waste money on expensive olive oil, I use vegetable oil. Any natural oil is far better for the environment than using a synthetic detergent.

No it was bonkers in the 90s 1000s of Crazies descending the beach like a foreign army invasion . Remember it well .

@@cheapskatefishing69 Me too’ was there myself’ different times eh’ first time I’d ever seen Policemen scared 😂

You’re legally allowed to collect up to 8 kilos of them so the pigs can’t do shit

@@Digitalllanelli Maybe these days 🤔👍

@@Digitalllanelli we call that " a feed " usually around 2 buckets worth .

TY Andrew , I notice a lot of the more conscientious fisherman are using singles instead of trebles, i think that's very good practice indeed the only issue for me it is a shame that some lures like the Flying Cs (my go to lure ) its almost impossible to change to a single hook because of the way it designed . 🤔

@@cheapskatefishing69 indeed; I’ve been trying to change over to singles issue being; lures come with small split rings making it difficult to attach the singles unless you change split ring for a bigger size. Plus, attach too bigger single and they can hook over the top of the lure or catch each other. Henry Gilbey crushes the barbs. At least that does help I suppose. Good luck for the coming season 👍

I can see the stick being very useful for avoiding those pesky hidden patches of deep mud . I might try and get one of those rod spikes and use it for both rod holder and as a wading stick . great idea thanks !

Hi thanks for the comment . Ive always heard that the Lougher estuary was a fantastic Bass spinning spot which to the Eastern side of Llanelli try using a Flying C spinner between the road bridge and the railway bridge . Ive been out at Ferryside Today but the river course has changed so much in 18 months that its a struggle to find a good spot to spin for Bass in ferryside at the moment , I will update if things change or i find a new spot that seems productive . Tight lines .

Actually its the other way round those rods your on about are designed specifically for bait-casting reels its not that bait-casting reels are specifically designed for 1 type of rod . The reels have been around for years but those trigger handle rods are relevantly newer . Thank you for the insight tho and tight lines to you sir .

Hope you enjoy!

To straighten out the line and avoid an over-run.

My missus say that all the time too !!
