Be Patient and Fish Will Come

Freezing conditions swept the country last week and fishing was a no no for most. Having spoken to Andy recently about how and where he fished during these conditions we were interested to hear about Port Talbot Dock.

‘I have been fishing the dock for the last few winters and the fishing can be unbelievable. Skimmers averaging a pound are the main quarry but with a big head of good sized roach and mullet (the dock is brackish and full of sea fish!) to go at you never really know what coming next. With 30 feet of water in front of you it never freezes so makes an ideal winter venue.’

‘The feeder is always the main line of attack here and can produce some big weights. With this dire weather though, even in 30 feet it still effects the fishing greatly. But, at least we are fishing and not breaking ice!’

Conditions like this mean a you have to be disciplined in your approach. This isn’t a commercial so you can’t try and force the issue like you maybe would on other venues. Take your time and let the fish come to you.
