Fished North side of beach. Used mackerel strip and caught 11 Dogfish. Mackerel caught on spinning as Whitebait was in. A good night. Fished 1 hour up and 2 hours down.

Ogmore Deeps

15 August 2003 Time: Day

Went fishing at ogmore deeps, nice day, caught a few fish, but what a mess !  The place stinks. Smells like a toilet, covered in old bait wrappers, plastic bags, bottles, cans, you name its there. Carried there and left by anglers.
You carried it there when it was full, what's the problem with carrying it home when it's empty.
This area is fished by many  visiting anglers. If you are a visiting angler reading this I suggest you save yourself a bad experence and fish somewhere else,
