Trip #66 - Cefn Mably Bridge Pond
Today was going to be a busy day. It was going to involve several family visits, a family meal and 100 mile return trip to Somerset from South Wales, so my time bank side was going to be limited. I was also travelling very light with 2 reels, 2 feeder rods, a landing net, a handle and a box of rig bit essentials. I was hoping for a very productive session and with a few venues very close to my parent’s house offering this I was spoilt for choice. In the end I went with Cefn Mably on the advice of a mate of mine (Dale). To be honest he echoed what I was already thinking "They all fish the same! Just fish close to the island and don't forget to feed the margins!" so with that advice I decided veer away from my favoured Horseshoe Lake to try out one of Cefn Mably's newer lakes, the Bridge Pond.

Trip #65 - Bendricks Beach
It's been a good few weeks since I've been able to get out and wet
a line, and with several trips to and from Wales over the last fortnight I was
faced with the prospect of a double header fishing wise. Obviously, when this
chance started to come to fruition I jumped at it. My brother is a very keen
sea angler and frequently ends up going out and catching Codling, Ray,
Smoothound, Whiting... All sorts really. So when he asked if I fancied a few
hours out on Saturday afternoon, (and without being remotely competitive) I
picked out a few dusty beachcasters and a tripod, jumped in the car and away we
went.
The rod and reels I used were;
1. 12’
9’’ – Daiwa Amorphous Whisker (Blue) Beachcaster – Reel down
2. 12’
6’’ – Shimano Super Ultegra Beach (Soft Tip) Beachcaster – Reel down
Both
coupled with Daiwa SL20SH multiplier reels, using 18lb mainline and a 60lb
shockleader. A bit of step up from 6lb Reflo...
