If I look tired in this video, its because I was shattered. 4am alarm, out the door before 5am, then fishing against tough conditions through to 10:30pm took it out of me.
So here we are, the last venue for day 1 of the 48hr fishing challenge. Trying our luck for congers in holyhead harbour. I remember fishing here with my dad as a kid. Then when I got too cold or tired, I could sit in the car and keep warm. And that's exactly what I needed on this occasion. With +45mph winds battering the island, I wanted somewhere I could take refuge in the back of the van, and this was the spot to do it!
Apologies if I sound like an a£s€ with my speech on not disclosing locations. But the truth is, social media, and cheap tackle means anyone can pick up a rod and go and abuse a spot relatively easily. Holyhead breakwater is a fine example of private land being closed off due to misuse by people with no regard for their surroundings. Whilst people can research and find new spots to fish, I don't want to be blamed for people flooding to spots to fish and leaving their rubbish everywhere. As you have hopefully seen from my videos, I insist people at least take their own rubbish home, or even better, take a bit extra home too.
Anyway, enough of a rant, I hope you enjoy the video. The conditions were terrible, and I stuck it for about as long as I could muster!
Take care & tight lines!!
