Sunny Rhyl Sea Fishing Diary
Splash Point , Rhyl - 04/08/2007
Venue - Rhyl, Splash Point
Tide - High
Time - Day
Bait: Frozen Lug, Frozen Razor Clam, Feathers, Dexter Wedge
Having fished Splash Point over high as a youngster and also severel times
over the last few years, I still have never caught a fish here.
I returned with little real hope armed with a dodgy refrozen pack of Lug.
My bait was supplemented with a frozen Razor Clam donated by a friendly fellow fisherman.
It was dead on high when I arrived.
I decided to see if there were any Mackerel were about.
Sadly not!
I switched to the Razor at range.
I set up the spinning rod and tried with the Dexter Wedge.
Again no joy either.
I tried Lug on the beachcaster but still no luck.
As a last gasp attempt for anything, I un-packed Headwyn's patented rotton bottom, small hook rig. Stuck on a sliver of Razor Clam and plopped it 3yds out into the fringe of rocks.
Seconds later, the unbelievable happened!
I had caught a fish over high at Splash Point!
Only small, but a fish nonetheless.
I reckon it was a Shanny.
James Ball, if you are reading this...................
I've finally done it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
That's one more thing to cross off the 'Things to do before I die' list.
Apologies for the lack of images. My battery was practically dead. Luckily just enough juice left to photo the fish :)
Happy Days !!!!!!!!!!
