The Fishermans Net

So first off is target some thornback ray till the tides are big enough for the Rock channel and pumping some Black lug and Razor .
I have said previously that am not collecting or using peeler crab this year ?
I have a few ideas for mounting hardback crab on my hooks without killing them or restricting the leg movement ? as I would like to keep the crab as natural as possible.

Reason for this change is getting old and looking after and the constant cleaning and moving around of my traps is very hard work / so I have turned my traps over to a group of younger anglers that will do well from them .
Hardback crab is much easier for me as regards both collecting and keeping.

I find collecting other baits like Black lug / Blow lug / Razor / Ragworm and other shellfish still very easy so am ok with that.

I do a very large frozen bait order every year for the like's of Bluey / anchovies / horse mackerel / squid

So target fish Local and Talacre will be Smooth Hound / Bass / Bull Huss / Thornback ray fishing for most of May June July August on small and big tides
Mixed in with this will see me fishing North Wales for the same target fish but on much safer beaches in complete darkness through the night.
With odd easy day light rock fishing for wrasse and bait like Mackerel and Sandeel

Good luck Brian

Might bump into you down at Talacre

Looks like there catching a few at the Rock Channel so all looking good for the summer species moving in

I’ve done a few sessions at Talacre with no Hounds showing for me unfortunately
