1st FORUM Meet - Announcement

[Moscowmale]

Many thanks for the replies and PM's all of which have been considered, and in order for as many UK-SEA-FISHING.org members as possible to make arrangements, I'd like to announce the date and chosen venue without any delay:

Date: Saturday 23rd May 2009
Venue: Pensarn, Abergele, North Wales
High Tide: 10.28am
Start fishing 8.30am, finish 12.30pm. (2hrs up and down)
Meet 8.00am

Pensarn is a village between Rhyl and Colwyn Bay with a long wide beach. The meet point will be the surfaced car park (opposite the Railway station) where there's a cafe and toilets. There are many B&B's and hotels in the area, some in Pensarn, for those of us who'll travel on Friday evening possibly to get fresh bait, but certainly to enjoy a pie and a pint ( or in Fishing with Frank's case, a KFC and glass of Rioja!)

More details will follow soon, but I'll do everything I can to help as many members as possible enjoy the day.
Please PM me if I can help.

Best
Steve

Clive
You and Zivile are inked in mate

Best I can offer is a postcode for the railway station: LL22 7PR

If you multimap or google earth it, the car park is just past the station, over a rail bridge, left turn and on the right (next to the sea).

I might be tempted to go friday for the whole weekend ( in a tent ) if there is anyone else interested...Frank

Frank
Count on myself and Rob (computer probs at the moment) to join the camping posse.
A quick search on google shows a number of camp sites in the Abergela/Pensarn area, and though it's a Bank Hol weekend, we should find somewhere between us that fills the criteria:
1) near a pub
2) near a KFC

Anyone else ?????

Steve

[Mrs Corectus]

Right Ive trawled high and low on the net looking for info on Pensarn . All Ive found up to now is this ;

The Venue
Get there for low water and look for the gulleys theres plenty of them some are deeper than others.... fish 3 hours before high and 1 after into the gulleys and your laughing .

The Baits
Fresh lug for bass..... squid and sandeel for the dogfish

The Fish
Bass have reported as being caught here from early April and plenty of LSD`s about .

Happy hunting
Andy

[Moscowmale]

Great info Andy

As we don't know the area, want to dig bait, enjoy a few tinnies/bbq etc we're going down on Friday and spending the night under canvas.

It wouldn't be the same without you...... are you up for it?

Steve.
