Just back from staying 8 nights at Penmon. Beautiful spot and great weather though the fishing was variable.
Started off on Saturday with 6 mackerel in an hour when I got there so it was mack for tea. Sunday and Monday not much was showing., just a few mackeral and under sized pollock. Tuesday there was a lot of whitebait close in and loads of launce/sandeels which ignored everything but went mad for small pink shrimp. Tried float fishing and freelining them in the hope of a bass but no luck, though did see someone take a big bass (about 4/5 pound I should think) on a chugbug. Wednesday and Thursday were quiet with just a few mack taken.
Friday evening everything just went mad. Had been spinning for about half an hour when I suddenly pulled 4 mack in. Then almost every cast was bringing them in. This went on from about 6 till it went dark. The sea was absolutely boiling with mack and whitebait. Same thing Saturday morning then a strong wind started coming down the Straits and this seemed to drive them out to sea.
All in all a very enjoyable week though I still cannot understand why people cannot take their litter home. Place was littered with empty rig packs, beer cans etc. Even found a filleting knife on the rocks - dangerous as there are lots of kids around.
