beach casting

[wife 1]

if you go on the park side of the transporter bridge there is an industrial est...drive through there untill you get to the cement works park there ...and walk to your left its a brilliant little spot..you might allready know it.

if i am right in thinking when you go through the gates of the industrial estate there is a old railway line there,my mates has a boat up there,there is a load of rickety old jettys going down to the water edge,never fished down there myself but another freind who has a boat there who tells me its a good spot for flatties and dabs,if you look over the opposite side to the water from where the mouth opens up you will see a big flat peice of concrete ,by the concrete there is a small old concrete shed there,we fish over there every now and again ,only problem is you have to drive round to where the entrance to llanwern steel works is and then walk across a load of fields ,you will walk past what is known as the dutch light house ,basically a small little tower with a light on,where this concrete patch is is a good spot for cod,casting out around 150 yards gets you over all the mud and into a gully,had some good 5lb cod from this spot,will see if i can find any pics to put up,looking forward to another trip soon on my mates boat in penarth,if you type up lady helen penarth and look at the catch reports and go back looking at previous catch reports you will see a pic of me with a good size cod,its under a trip from cwmbran,might have to go back a few pages to find it but its a good fish,good boat to go on if you like your boat fishing,as much tea as you can drink as well,will see if i can find any pics ,tight lines

Good pics ' nice fish do you ever fish at portishead or clevedon its just down the road from me there's allways lads fishing there is it any good in those parts

 

cheers' fledge

[wife 1]

never fished it myself but a mate who is into his tournament casting goes over to clevedon and fishes a spot which requires you to get your bait out around 150 yards,he sais they get some good results down there on the cod and also on dover sole,will be planning a trip this summer with him,have to get my casting reels out,i tend to have done more boat fishing in the last year and knowing my luck will get into some overruns on my reel

cheers wife we go down to portishead for the rabbits there some good spots down there around the shoreline that hold bunnys, useually see people fishing of the rocks behined the lighthouse or at clevedon of the the pier they got there

[wife 1]

do you ferret them mate and take dogs with you or shoot them,there is a god couple down the foreshore in cardiff,took my dogs down there bushing a few times and then let them go and have a swim,loads of rats down there as well but they go in the rocks,good bit of fun down there with the dogs though,seen a few foxes down there as well,cant take my dogs fishing with me ,took them to many times and they now as soon as i start reeling in there good chance of something being on the end,see them gripping hold of small congers,they love it,will see if can get some more pics of what we had on the boat last summer

i think the area you are talking about and by your pic is what we call farm fields....that is a very good low water mark...its just opposite the pier head....at the right time of the year can produce some good bass. the area i was trying to explain is a bit further up the river.

you got it mate,could not think of the name of the place,it was bugging the shit out of me,farm fields,the place you fish is it easy acsess and is it a good spot,good to fish new places,if i get a chance i will go and have a nose,is the cement works still there?

 

a pic of my mates boat in newport,can get 6 on there comfortably but usually only the 3 of us go,its out of the water at the moment having some work done to it,will be back in soon so hoping to have a bash on the deeps on some congers and thornbacks,might see some bass but it aint been to good the last 2 years for bass
