Today, georgieb, the image and myself, oh and not forgetting Melissa and ffion! descended on the inland sea in Holyhead in the hope of some good fishing, but however as usual the kayakers blanked 
we had the baits, fresh black lug and sandeel and mackerel, but not a sniff, but we soon came to realize that the sea bed was covered in all sorts of shellfish, so killer baits would probably be peeler, mussel and the likes, we know for next time!! in most parts the water was only between 1 and 3ft deep, i think the deepest was about 15 ft! ideal place for a surface lure, if you know what i mean 
. with the fishing being non existence, the rest of the day consisted of paddling round checking the place out for a future kayak meet, the only down side was the parking, we unloaded the yaks on a small slip and then had to park a couple of hundred meters up the road.
here are the yaks ready to go, note the mall slip on the left, enough room for 3 cars to unload.
Glyn and Melissa were ready to rock and roll!
Georgie having a reet ol smile for the camera!
while Glyn and Melissa were paddling George and myself pulled up on a small island for a brew and a butty.
all in all it was a cracking day, we all paddled somewhere new to us, i managed to stay dry ;D, the weather was kind to us too, although the forecast said rain, the sun came out, and the location was well sheltered from the wind.
look forward to more pics of the day when Glyn packs away his tent and speeds home to log on!!
tight lines, martin.
