updateGents,
If you hate the thought of more Christmas shopping then please read on!
As requested by Rob F we will be trying a north Gower mark for flounder on soft plastics.
The tide that fits in with the mark and Rob's holiday is December 18th.
I am posting an invite to anyone who wants to attend but I must warn everyone that this mark is on North Gower where the Loughor estuary meets beach, the water can colour very quickly with heavy rain and or a swell.
We will be fishing a mud bank, be prepared to get dirty.
I would strongly advise anyone attending to be prepared for a change in tactics, we may find the water with zero clarity and fish baited spoons or mepps lures with vibration.
There are local guest houses available if anyone wants to travel and stay overnight one of which is very close to my local pub, happy to have a beer if anyone is staying locally.
Rob F is a flattie expert on lures, I am looking forward to seeing him pull out some of the 2lb fish that flood into the estuary in the winter.
If conditions are good it could be superb sport
I fished this mark last December with Simon where we had over 20 flounder in a session up to 2lb.
Any questions please ask.
UPDATE
The recent snowfall in the amman valley could kill the flounder fishing when it melts.
The past two years has seen a decline in catch rates following snow.
I am still going to fish this weekend but would advise against travelling distance to fish unless you fancy a day out with good fun and maybe no fish!
UPDATE
CANCELLED
I decided to see if the flounder have left the estuary for deep water with the ice and snow. There were lots of reported blanks where three weeks ago people were having good catches.
I headed to deeper water this morning in the dark and thick mud.
I had one fish at distance ( a nice flounder at 1lb 3/4), three weeks ago all fish were close. Now the only fish I caught was way beyond casting distance with sps
With more cold weather forecast I have decided to cancel the bumble. I don't want people travelling and fishing hard conditions with no sign of fish
