1st FORUM Meet - Announcement

[Moscowmale]

Many thanks for the replies and PM's all of which have been considered, and in order for as many UK-SEA-FISHING.org members as possible to make arrangements, I'd like to announce the date and chosen venue without any delay:

Date: Saturday 23rd May 2009
Venue: Pensarn, Abergele, North Wales
High Tide: 10.28am
Start fishing 8.30am, finish 12.30pm. (2hrs up and down)
Meet 8.00am

Pensarn is a village between Rhyl and Colwyn Bay with a long wide beach. The meet point will be the surfaced car park (opposite the Railway station) where there's a cafe and toilets. There are many B&B's and hotels in the area, some in Pensarn, for those of us who'll travel on Friday evening possibly to get fresh bait, but certainly to enjoy a pie and a pint ( or in Fishing with Frank's case, a KFC and glass of Rioja!)

More details will follow soon, but I'll do everything I can to help as many members as possible enjoy the day.
Please PM me if I can help.

Best
Steve

Clive
You and Zivile are inked in mate

Best I can offer is a postcode for the railway station: LL22 7PR

If you multimap or google earth it, the car park is just past the station, over a rail bridge, left turn and on the right (next to the sea).

I might be tempted to go friday for the whole weekend ( in a tent ) if there is anyone else interested...Frank

[Moscowmale]

Frank
Count on myself and Rob (computer probs at the moment) to join the camping posse.
A quick search on google shows a number of camp sites in the Abergela/Pensarn area, and though it's a Bank Hol weekend, we should find somewhere between us that fills the criteria:
1) near a pub
2) near a KFC

Anyone else ?????

Steve

[Mrs Corectus]

We would be SO up for it!!! We love camping!!! Just bl**dy work and stuff... Let's hope fof the best

[oldgreyfox]

Right Ive trawled high and low on the net looking for info on Pensarn . All Ive found up to now is this ;

The Venue
Get there for low water and look for the gulleys theres plenty of them some are deeper than others.... fish 3 hours before high and 1 after into the gulleys and your laughing .

The Baits
Fresh lug for bass..... squid and sandeel for the dogfish

The Fish
Bass have reported as being caught here from early April and plenty of LSD`s about .

Happy hunting
Andy

[Moscowmale]

Great info Andy

As we don't know the area, want to dig bait, enjoy a few tinnies/bbq etc we're going down on Friday and spending the night under canvas.

It wouldn't be the same without you...... are you up for it?

Saturday 2/5/09 & Sunday 3/5/09 Chris and I went to Pensarn for a look around and to fish a few places. We camped on a site right on the beach.



The only facilities on site are 2 toilets and 2 sinks ( for both men / women ) ( NO SHOWERS ) Also you can plug into the camp site's elecricity. ( a min of 30 metre lenth lead will be required ) They Charge £15 per night ... there are other sites but not as near to the beach and one of them charges £35 per night.
Photo of the toilet block.



Some other points about the site, where the Tents are pitched it right next to a railway line and a motorway ( after the first 1000 trains and cars we stoped noticing them ) the good news is there is no driving to the beach and you can nip back for the toilets or a brew its so close .




There is ample free parking for anyone not staying on the site.





Also there is a Static Caravan for rent for anyone wishing to live in comfort.



This is a view looking from in front of Pensarn Railway Station




This is the road from Pensarn Railway Station leading to the camp site and meeting point



Chris will add more photos of the beach where we are fishing.

Hi All been out on a recci to Pen-sarn this bank holiday, took a few piccys to give us an idea what were in for? the weather was a bit rough, hope its not like this when we get down there? Once you go over the bridge at the train station there are car parks to you left and right, (free) to the right you can drive onto the beach and park and literally fish right out the back of your car (recomended) there are toilets in short walking distance with cafe close by anyway there you have it enjoy the pictures

The Station





The right side parking



Fishing out the boot of the car



The Cafe close by



Toilets can't get better than this



His and Hers



And just incase we have a repeat of last outing at Fleetwood we can always resort to this



Or even better this



anyway there you have it hope you enjoyed piccys

Regards
Clive

[Corectus]

Clive
