The wind is forecast to be from WNW & NNW at ~ 8mph on Saturday which will be reduced, because it is blowing from off the land, it should be possible to fish Langland comfortably for bream etc on the last 3 hrs of the ebb, then come up on the flood to fish around Mumbles Head, SWIGG, & a final drift across the bay for flatfish & maybe a bass or two on the way home. Get your name down if you are interested, & don't forget to take your feathers!

CONFIRMATION
The forecast for Saturday is favourable to take Mumbles Belle to sea, with HW at 07.48 we will have a bit of ebb to help us down toward Langland, & with light NW winds, & being only about an hour into the ebb when we pass Mumbles Point, the Cherry Stones should not offer any problems. We will initially try for bream on the reef, or if the weather is exceptional try a few drifts over the White Oyster Ledge. On the first of the flood I will attempt to catch some plaice at a spot I know where they tend to favour mackerel strip as opposed to worm bait, then as our "Swan Song" come into Mumbles off the inshore lifeboat slip, & set a drift across the bay hopefully following the line of flood along the depth contour & inside the dredged channel & hopefully pick up a few more flatfish, & maybe a bass or two before we head in to lock-in at 16.30. Please put your names down asap as time is short & we don't want to miss this window.
What we catch is irrelevant, providing it is superior in quality to what "Oystercat" catches!
