took my canoe out today along with a friend who has a single sit ontop kayak. i was imprssed by how stable he was compared to my canoe that was rolling a lot in the chop. we fished close in to the great orme in one of those golden little places that is inaccesible to shore anglers and too close to the cliffs for angling boats. theres a deep spot which gave me good mackerel last time i tried so tried again and had some beautifull codlings. they fought well and it was good fun. strangely i felt warmer in my canoe than i did when i was on the beach looking at the sea conditions. when we came ashore there was 2 anglers who i think had fished the pier and said they had caught nothing and were asking how we had done so we showed them the fish. one of them said but its not real sea angling is it. i dont know what on earth he meant by that.

Hi Chrish
A friend and i fished Hornby Cave on the great Orm this summer, The charter boats couldn't get as close as we could actually in the cave but that was for a laugh. Lost count of the doggies and nine pollock average of two and a half pounds

On that day we didn't realize how far we had to paddle. Our starting point was a few hundred meters from the Conwy mariner launching from a beach opposite from a gravel car park. We paddled a distance of about four miles over a huge sand bank. The sand bank was covered by a few inch's of water which was ok for us but the pleasure boats had to follow the channel, thats one up for the kayakers.
