Loads of fish in there though , many too small to attack spinner as I brought it in , could see shoals of them
One day I shall prevail
Is your rod and tackle usually this fruitless?

Good, honest account. That's the thing I found with fishing - you go well prepared, with all the right tackle, in a river you know that has a lot of fish and.... nothing!
Other days they seem to be throwing themselves onto your hook.
One of my first introductions to fishing was spinning from the rocks at Oxwich. Beautiful summer's day, fresh air, great environment and the hours just flew by. I didn't catch anything, but it didn't seem to matter.

Re: another fishing report
I fished the river Ely hell of a lot in that area as a child with my old man in the 70s and 80s tbh it was still recovering from South Wales' industrial past and was pretty crap.
I wish I could get the fishing bug again.
I've been a few times but just to help my dad he's 82 and needs a lot of help now.

The area around the old Wigginton teape paper mill is supposed to be good and huge pike down by the flyover at the bottom of penarth Road
