A reminder to us all – fishing is great and we all ‘push the limit’ every so often, but it’s not worth risking your life for.

Ready to Fish Trefor Pier

After a full english breakfast at the B&B / pub in Pwllheli we motored over to the other side of the Lleyn Peninsula for the second fishing match of the weekend. We were fishing the tide down at Trefor pier, not ideal but its getting increasingly difficult to find piers that you are able to fish from and as BLAS have a pier cup it seemed a shame to waste a trip to the Lleyn without giving Trefor a go.

The venue is fantastic and although the weather was atrocious Dave, Shacky, Wendy and I had a great time although not many fish came out. The final tally was Dave with 4 dogfish, Shacky with 3 me with 2 and Wendy with an eel. As mentioned – not the best fishing but the company was great and seeing a porpoise just off the end of the pier and the baby Bass feeding among the piers legs more than made up for the weather.
