🏃 A morning run along the Anglesey coast 📻 Talking angling on radio 🏊 In the pool with my granddaughter 🎣 Ballan and corkwing wrasse at Trearddur Bay
🏃 After giving formal exercise a short break, following a football-related injury, it was great to get back on track.
What a place to pick up where I left off with as well, with a run along the Anglesey coast.
That’s definitely one for the video, as words alone would be insufficient to describe the scenery.
📻 The Bayside Radio angling show goes on as well, with my weekly Jeff Pearson chat taking place as normal.
I was still talking about the recent coarse fishing sessions, as there’s a gap anyway between recording and going out live.
Plus, I didn’t want to mention that I was on holiday. Never broadcast an empty home.
Although we had a couple of initial problems, I’m happy to say that we recorded the show with no issues.
🏊 One of the main attractions for my granddaughter, Nyah, at the place we stayed (this was her third visit with us) is the indoor pool.
I must say, I like it as well.
We had it to ourselves, which was nice.
We didn’t do any serious swimming but relaxed on floating rings, played volleyball and pulled each other under the water.
If you’ve had children or grandchildren yourself, then you know the score.
We were there for more than an hour and really enjoyed it.
🎣 For my third angling session of the holiday, I was back on the rocks at Trearddur Bay.
You can follow the session in the video – along with the run and the radio chat – where I caught mostly ballan wrasse. I’ve had a few corkwings as well so far.
Tackle: SeaTech Outlaw 12’ telescopic rod and Daiwa Jupiter Z 6000 reel, loaded with 20lb line. The float was 5” and the hooklength 2’. Size 2 Kamasan Aberdeen hook. Fresh lugworm.
Nature notes: Several tern (common or arctic) sightings, including one of 15 birds together. Eight turnstones in flight around the bay, two settled briefly on rocks where I was fishing. Calling grey heron in flight over the sea. Lots of oystercatchers, including a nesting site, where the female nestled down on eggs as I passed by.
