| Anglesey July / August 2006 - Part 2, Sea Fishing | | 2006-08-14 23:43:00 | | After the long hot and wind free July we were looking forward to some lazy days fishing from the rocks on Anglesey. Alas the weather gods had a different plan for us and after lazing around in the sun on, of all things, Sunday (what else...) we woke on Monday to rain and a strong Westerly wind which dented our plans a little so we did a bit of walking instead.After a while, I'm not sure which day we meandered over to our favorite spot of the year, a mark called 'flagpole' near Beaumaris where we found shelter as the wind was blowing over our heads. The bait we took was frozen sandeel but no bites were forthcoming so i had a rummage around the rocks and found 2 crabs and, almost exactly the same as in may, Wendy managed to land her first proper Bass, only a small school fish but as you can see she was very, very pleased.

There's quite a lot of information on South Stack on the BBC Wales website here. We didn't see many birds on the cliffs although there were a few Kittiwakes with chicks still in residence and on the way back to the car a Chough flew up the cliff face towards us as we were having a drink - I've only ever seen them in the distance before so this was a fantastic site.As the weather didn't seem to be getting any better we called into ABC tackle at Beaumaris to ask Malcolm about fishing the straits. | | By: Sea Fishing and Walking in the UK | | |
