Llanbadrig 29 Jul 2006

After weeks of calm dry weather, Paul came up from Malvern and brought some wetter, windier weather with him. Our planned trip to Rhoscolyn was off, it wouldn't have been safe. We decided to to Llanbadrig where at least we should be out of the wind. As it was a new venue we had a scout about first. It looked a bit steep to the east

to the south is a bay which looked weedy

West looks rocky, but the access is quite easy

MOre photos of the area

We settled on a ledge a few hundred yards to the west with a View of Wylfa

We had plenty of wrassessss

Some smallish pollock

Smallest fish of the day was this blenny ?

and largest was this fine wrasse

More photos of the mark...

Thanks to Andy for providing info on this mark.

We'd gone before you arrived, the lads in the last photo must have arrived after us, I took that photo as we left.

Thanks for the great day out Iain. Even though the weather wasn't great, the fishing was enjoyable.

Didn't get weight as neither of us had scales with us.

I had scales, but don't have a mesh bag to weigh things in. I don't like weighing wrasse in the gillplate. What with them being so slow growing and all I like to get them back in as quickly as possible.
