    Eyup fella. It's good to see you getting out there and getting amongst it. I must have picked up about thirty quids worth of weights on my local beach at low tide by following line that I had decided to pick up and bin so it's well worth doing. We all lose gear so we should all be picking up after one another. I'll sithi after! Dave.

    • @theawfulangler
      @theawfulangler  Рік тому +1

      That's it Dave, all snap off at times, it happens. In this case there were other bits along the wall, looked like someone just cut their gear off packed up and left. Like you say, we should all look out for the environment around us that we enjoy so much.

    Another top video buddy, we’ve had our best sessions at Amlwch on low water, always slow in the day but a hour after dark it normally kicks off with congers

    Top many for the effort and dedication you put in where most of us would have packed up and gone home. I was brought up fishing the breakwater from the age of 6 and now in my 50's and I've seen allsorts being caught there over the years. I was fishing there about 20 years ago with my mate and it was packed with holidaymakers. Anyway my mate hooked into something heavy and managed to get it to the side and handball it up. Everybody there was waiting to see what he had caught. It was a hessian sack which flipping stank and when he opened it a load of dead puppies fell out. Some sly git must have drowned them there the cruel bas*ard. I know a 100% if the weather was better you would have caught or at least been able to see the bites. Never rated Wylfa Head under the lookout as I've only caught doggies there and the current is pretty strong. One thing about Anglesey is no matter where the wind comes fro there is always somewhere you can fish. It's a shame about the litter but once they start other people think it's alright and chuck their carp on top of it when normally they wouldn't. It's like graffiti when one person tags a wall and before you know it everyone thinks it's ok and join in. Can't wait for your next outing but I would try and get hold of Gamekeeper John for a session as not only would it be good to watch it will seriously up your views and subscribers. Hope the little one is doing well and I can see him fishing with his Dad when he gets older and making some good memories.

    • @theawfulangler
      @theawfulangler  Рік тому

      A friend of my dad once hooked in to a large skate, which turned out to be a chunk of carpet 🤣 finding the dead puppies would have finished me off though 😭
      I've never actually fished under the lookout, personally really rate the bay, around by the outfall pipe, although the fish all have 3 eyes and an extra fin 🤭
      Agree with your comment though, I can't think of a single time where we haven't been able to find somewhere to fish regardless of the weather!
      I'd love to fish with John. He seems to be a top bloke from his videos.
      Jacks doing great thanks mate. Hopefully not have many more weeks of freedom until he's allowed home 🤞🏼

    • @theawfulangler
      @theawfulangler  Рік тому +1

      Yeah, it used to be a decent spot in the boat, around the outlet. I'll be fishing off there again on day. Just on a day when you don't have to weight your box down for fear of it taking off 🤣

    I know Amlwch quite well....I've seen a few wrasse come from that wall.
    The litter and rubbish thing is becoming common. I really don't get why people feel the need to leave their litter for somebody else to clear away.
    Keep going as the vids are great and its obvious the amount of work you put in...Tight lines

      Like a couple of people have said. Once one lazy so and so leaves their carp, others seem to think it's acceptable too

    Newborough Warren, llandfeidn island, used to be good for all sorts, cast out to Maltrieth always produced bass, off the lighthouse side was always doggies, (that was almost 40 years ago though!)

      I've fished newborough beach before, but never ventured as far as the lighthouse. If these southerly winds ever die down, I'll check it out! I have a few spots over that side of the island I need to get back to when this wind dies

    • @theawfulangler
      @theawfulangler  Рік тому

      Genuinely no idea yet Mel. Each time I look, the seas predicted to be doing something different. If its east coast I might venture up Scarborough way for a change. If not it will be back to Anglesey. But looking like the decision will be made about 4am Saturday haha

      @The Awful Angler suggestion
      Ig ive got tides right fish over high tide otterspool mersey for Cod, then head over Anglesey, there's a good few spots that will fish well for multi species high or low tide, Herring, macs n whiting plus congee Amlwch, breakwater and little harbour, also Llanbadrig, chance of same species but also coalie and pollack.

    • @theawfulangler
      @theawfulangler  Рік тому

      If I go that way, my plan is...
      Mostyn to start, as its a small tides this week.
      Maybe squeeze in moel y Don over low depending how mostyn was fishing.
      Holyhead for the high.
      Sunday looking at the winds would be north side of the island somewhere. Then back to the mersey for the high in the afternoon.
      Just not sure if I'm ready for another slow weekend on Anglesey yet 🤣

      I'm keeping an eye to see if it calms down again enough to be fishable by the weekend.
      By South, I mean literally for a couple miles before heading across to Anglesey.
      If I were headed south then it would be the Bristol Channel, but it doesn't seem to be fishing well as of late. And the winds would make for uncomfortable conditions
