Mostyn 3rd Feb 2024

Post by AndyE »

Given the poor cod reports this winter I’ve been a bit uninspired and haven’t been out for months.

With not much on today, reasonable weather and a small high tide at 4pm at Mostyn I headed down there on the lookout for a ray. Parked by the funship and was heading down to fish by 13:45, 3 or 4 others fishing or just setting up. Headed down a bit to around peg 7; busy by the ship and I’ve tended to avoid the first few pegs as it’s been really snaggy on previous visits.

First rod set up with bluey and squid and chucked out. Relaxing with a coffee and deciding whether or not to set up the second rod, then a pull down followed by a slack line resulted in the first ray, female about 3-4 lb. First cast of the year!

One more pull down on the bluey/squid rod resulted in a feisty male ray of a similar size:-

I fished lug and crab on the other rod on a loop rig when I got around to it, a few rattles which looked very whiting/dab like - managed a single whiting on that rod, better one probably around 40cm.

Packed up just after high, not the most exciting session but very welcome and target achieved.

The other lads managed one ray and a few dabs and whiting between them.

Cheers
Andy

Not the dream destination I know, but it is local and gives a good chance of mixed fishing year round over high (ship end) and on small tides. Clean ground and easy access and parking, plus lots of room and it's not a prom! The ray fishing there seems to be getting better and better, with the added bonus of a good chance of other stuff, good few bass and lots of quality plaice caught each year. I'll probably get down there again a few times whilst I wait for things to pick up elsewhere. Bigger fish at the other end over low but I can't stand the mud!

Cheers

Brian try the ship end to your right it's very short walk if you can even call it a walk more like 10steps and your on the mark. And if you do go for rays go to the left a few yds as like you experienced it's snaggy unless you know the place inside out

Same lane off the A548 that you take to fish the other end, just turn right at the T junction rather than left - a few spots to park half way to the funship and at the funship itself, if parking by the ship don’t block the gate as it is regularly used.

Cheers
