Hi All,
With this hot weather and low river levels does anyone fancy a meet up down West to do a bit of SWFFing off the beach with their sewin gear.
I'm no expert, only done it a couple of times.

Definitely up for that Bill, as would 2-3 locals I know.
What have you got in mind? where and when?
Thanks,
Steff. |\

Hi Steff,
As I say I'm no expert, but I've done a lot of seafishing and know a few marks.
Where do you fancy Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire or Ceredigion, probably best to discuss marks by pm or on the phone.
Speak soon to get it sorted.
How about next Saturday or Sunday depending on weather and tides.
Bill :)

Hi Steff and all,
I've a few marks we can try, however as it is usually is with a good sea fishing mark, long walks, 1.5 miles each way in waders and climbs are involved {;
Are you still up for it :)
As an old codger I'll have to buy a walking stick :> only joking, not yet.

Hi Bill,
should be a lot of freshwater and crap churned around on Thursday, do you think it will still fish by the weekend? I would have thought anywhere near estuaries would be out?
Can't believe there's not more interest though! Come on lads.
Perhaps if we call an area, without naming marks we would get some interest, even the county?
TT.

Steff et al,
Its looking like Carmarthenshire;)
Bill :)
I'm going to be spending more time of the Ceredigion coast this summer, especially if it remains dry, don't like slow green rivers.
Was out on Friday evening saw some sewin jumping and one cracker about 4ft from the shore line.
If anyone is heading off to the coast around Ceredigion - happy to meet up (subject to timings)

Simon,
I'd be happy to nip up for a few sessions, just pm me I'm less than an hour from most of the Ceredigion marks.
Although I've many, many years experience of conventional light sea fishing, this SWFFing is all new to me.
"Speak soon"
Bill :)
Hi Bill
Will do when work and family committments allow. I'll send a pm

Hi Bill,
Just seen this thread......I have recently moved from the South Coast to Carmarthenshire. I used to spend a bit of time around the Southampton waters so would love to try a few local marks. I have tried a few marks around Ceredigion.
Cheers

Hi David,
You are welcome, Simon fancies a bash too just pm me. Perhaps Steff needs to set up a SWFF section for these hard times, its raining now though.:)
Anyway I went early yesterday morning and fished the tide up. I'm still aching from the long walk and hard climb :o
The breakers were quite big on the beach and I soon discovered my Grxi 7/8wt rod was not up to it.
Had a good time, but blanked. I thought things would change when the gulls started to dive,a cormorant appeared and a couple of dolphins came out to play a few hundred yards off.
There's always next time, and an excuse to buy a new rod:)

Sorry Bill, this became a non starter. Let's try and organise something for the near future.

Bill,
Are there any plans for this weekend?....I may be able to negotiate some time sat or sun for a quick fluff chuck at the bass.
Cheers

Just got in from fishing a West Wales bay.
Took 18 schoolies on the fly :> all safely returned.
I know its sad to count them, but they are the first bass I've caught on a fly rod, to say I'm pleased, well, what do you think:>
Time to find the biggies which were lurking in the wings (:,

Hi Bill, Well done mate, now that you have had you first your on the way. every thing will click together now, you will find you will catch a lot more.
It's just getting over the first fence, now you have done it you will fish a lot better in the salt.|\
