I've had a bad one, Saturday I dived Porth Oer well in to the falling tide, vis not great at up to 2m generally, 3 in a few places in the bay but just a flat sandy bottom. Didn't seen any silver, just one tiny pollack. Today I looked at Porth Iago, poor vis, so popped over to Abersoch, against the clock I just jumped in near the old lifeboat station, great vis but mainly a sandy bottom, again no silver seen.

I'm getting very frustrated this season, I'm obviously doing something very wrong, everyone else is getting their fill. Are you finding that the ebbing tide makes a big difference to seeing fish? When do you prefer to get in if you have a choice?

You're hitting some very unproductive and fishless spots matey, drop me a PM!

It may be there not as many fish round this season yet ! After 20 or more sessions in the sea from March with 40-50+ hrs in the sea getting 4 fish ! It,s a very frustrating game ! Harder you try the worse it gets .The weather's looking good ,bit of luck the south will be fishy and great viz! See you there some where!

First of all some cracking fish from you guys over the weekend, top spearing :)

Well I couldn't resist missing out on all the fun so made the trip over. Started north side....big mistake, vis about 1.5m, surely going to be a while until that vis improves! So back in the car to south.

Dropped in at one spot and instantly felt better. Vis 5-10m patchy over kelp. Took my first bass of the season; a curious loner. Then picked up a nice spider for the pot. On my way back, out of the blue a shoal of silver and bass 2 on the string. Happy Hoppe :)

Today I thought I would chance Aberdaron. Vis patchy, down to a few meters in places, better over sand 8m? Went to a favourite spot, sat about 5m down when out of the gloom saw a big fish shape swimming away took a chance shot and hit it. Unfortunately it wasn't a bass or mullet.... Say no more, but all 4lb of it shall be eaten tomorrow.

Then nothing else seen for the next few hours. After a few good fish early last year this mark hasn't really produced for me (plenty of mullet though).

Few observations from the weekend; didn't see many sandeel or bait fish, very few pollock, North side has some serious vis issues lol

Sorry about the gopro selfy, a change to a pic of the bass :)

Most spots for me I like the last couple of hours of the push....
 
Lol thanks all, I will tell the Mrs that tonight we are eating "gentleman's bass" lol . Currently sitting in traffic in Birmingham...don't Monday's suck!

Probably in on Friday or one day this weekend - the low tide is at a bloody annoying time though.

Am I the only one who finds that the low or falling tide on the South coast is terrible for fishing? Maybe I just need some new spots :dead:
