The easterly breeze lifted the early morning fog and a bright, sunny day ensued but, as every angler knows, an easterly wind seems to turn the fish off.

But this didn’t put off the 14 anglers who fished.

Next Sunday’s competition will be held at St Brides on. Book in and weigh in at the Peterstone Fisheries. Fishing times are 16.00 till 20.00.

On Sunday, November 11, at Cold Knap beach, Barry, the Welsh Federation of Sea Anglers, in association with Angling Cymru, are offering a coaching session for a limited number of anglers, showing them how to cast a bit further, present bait and tackle a little better.

Fishing times will be 12 noon until 4pm, allowing for high water of around 4pm.

All are welcome but pre- book to enable organisers to know the numbers.

Contacts are Gareth Davies 07855 528845 (Davies251@ aol.com) or Mike Dixon 07900 966163 (m.dixon45@ntlworld.com).

If the day proves to be a success it is hoped to run a few extra events around Christmas and into the New Year, provided funding is available.
