as it was fathers day, i decided it was a good time to take my dad out on my boat for the first time, and thomas (my son) came too.

its been about 30 years since we had 3 generations of our family together in a boat !

i have wanted to catch a black bream for a number of years now, so thanks to a great bloke i had a guide to where to go and also how to fish the mark.

headed off from trefor, and tried for mackeral on the way - where the hell are they all ??? we only managed a solitary one all day !

at the mark i had 3 pin whiting then a positive bite resulted in this



mission accomplished for me !

a bigger bottom bait i had out was snaffled by this



about 7lb of angry huss caught in less than 15 foot of water in bright sunlight, followed by its twin a few minutes later on a shrimp rig i had dropped down for something different



later in the day we moved location having all had a few huss and obligatory doggies.

second drop down my dad had this surprise



and moments later thomas latched onto his personal best huss around 12lb



losts of smaller huss up to 4 lb consistently till we packed up, however we also had a LOT of these critters too



a very long day for us, up at 3am and home at 9pm, but incredibly enjoyable for us all.

That looks like a top day........great to see the family bonding too! I would be happy with a boat full of crabs like the fellow you had there. Now, where ARE those mackerel

Super result, Great pic's

Super session and day out for you there chaps

Nice one lads

great report and pics, some nice fish there

boss

Excellent.Hope you ate those crabs.

Amazing colour on that codling. Was it really that bright or is it a camera effect?

i always thought it a bit of a no no to wear your chest waders when you were on the boat, if you fell in you woudn't get out of the water due to the weight of them when they fill up

nice one lads good report nice to see a bream

Watch this video. The guy starts off with a pfd and a wading belt but by the end as he gets more confident he takes all the safety gear off and still doesn't drown. He seems to have no bother getting out of the water and he doesn't look like any sort of keep fit expert!

Good report & pics, plenty of fish there, don't like the look of that crab though... Colin..
