Although the days are getting shorter we are open as usual over the festive period 8am until dark usually 4.30 to 5 pm.
The water is crystal clear so I would advise using light tackle and some smaller baits. Maggots will not only attract the silver fish in but at ths time of year will also catch the odd carp or two. Geriant who is here today to target the bigger perch was surprised to catch a stunning 8 or 9 lb carp on his light feeder rod. Although he would have prefered a perch he did enjoy the battle to bring it to his net and land it.
As this will be my last post of this year, we would like to thank you all for your custom during the last year and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Silvers are plentiful but the carp have started to move into deeper water, although I notice that some carp are still surface feeding during the afternoons. Maybe, I should say surface feeding at dusk as it is now dark by 5pm.
If you are short of a fishing buddy do not worry. At this very helpful fishery we provide on for you. Kevin our resident heron is happy to come and sit along side you he my even offer some expert fishing advice!

Another month has wizzed by and I have not given any updates. In my defense I have been very busy with general maintance and other things.
However the fishing has been good with a decent amount of anglers visiting and catching at a reasonable rate. The weather has had a drop in temperature but still very warm for the time of year, however the water temperature has dropped and  is much clearer than during the summer months, this makes fishing a little harder. Lighter line in the deeper water further out from the bank helps. 
 Geoff had very reasonable day recently and sent me this message afterwards. "
"A nice few hours today Huw, lots of perch one about a pound and lots of beautiful golden rudd mostly on prawn, topped with this 11lb beauty on cage feeder with bread."



PS Kevin or Bod the heron continues to sit and study any angler.

Sorry, but it is hard to believe it has been a full month since I last updated this page. 
Phil had a great day on his recent visit, before midday he had managed almost a full house by catching a tench, perch, roach, golden rudd and a small carp. Kevin our resident heron helped out with the missing species by catching and devoured an eel along side Phil's peg. By the way Kevin  has now had a change of name to Bod, thanks to little Evie who visits us with her grandparents
Although we are now into Autumn the fish are still feeding well there are even tench normally a summer fish still being caught on a regular basis.

A couple of mixed weeks of fishing at the lakes. Some days the carp have been plentiful and the silvers not feeding so much. Other days the silvers and perch have been plentiful but a quieter on the carp. I guess that is the pleasure of fishing. Anyone who follows our Facebook page, pembrokeshirecoarsefishing, will have seen my report about Dave who recently managed to catch 54 carp in a single day, that is not something you will do here everyday but a good days fishing is assured for anyone who comes along. 

One constant here is the friendly heron who has now been named Kevin by some, although I am not sure it is a him or a she. It will sit within 2 or three metres of an angler, it will even fly across nearer the anglers as the reel fish in. It even perches on top of our house and admires the view. I have added some pictures below, the first three are of "Kevin the heron" landing in the middle of the night on our veranda rail around  the balcony. It did this even though there was a powerful floodlight on !
There is also a picture of our little friend the kingfisher sitting on the bridge in front of our house. Not the best of pictures as it was taken through two panes of glass, the window and balcony glass, but still great to see them about

You don't need to add words , just look at the joy on his face of catching fish for the very first time.
August has seen some excellent catches from all the species of fish that can be caught at this prolific fishery . Carp anglers, pleasure and match anglers at the end of the day, have all left happy. As expected during the summer school holidays there has been many children trying angling for the  first time. It is always a pleasure to watch them progress and catch fish. Hopefully it will turn into a life long hobby for them. We hire rods on a daily basis to give them a taster session and with a little tuition we can normally mange to catch some fish.
