SEA

Location; NORTH WALES

The North-Wales coastline has something for everyone: golden sandy beaches, productive rock marks, and secluded tidal estuaries where the only interruptions are the mournful cries of curlew and oyster catcher. All this, plus opportunity to catch a wide variety of fish species, creates the recipe for a great sea-fishing holiday.

Dinas Dinlle is one of many sandy beaches in Gwynedd that provide great sport not only for surfers but also for bass fishers. From the west-facing beach there is a wonderful view along the coast of Llyn Peninsula with the Yr Eifl Mountains in the background.

One of the big advantages of basing an angling holiday here is that, regardless of in which direction or how strong the wind blows, there is always a sheltered, safe mark to fish within a short drive. The island of Anglesey and the Llÿn Peninsula are both good examples of this geographical advantage.

Lovely Llÿn The quality of shore fishing found at these venues is legendary. For example, on the Llÿn you will have the option of spinning, float fishing or bottom fishing from the rocks or, if conditions are suitable, fishing the surf for bass on one of the country's most famous and spectacular storm beaches, Porth Neigwl (Hell's Mouth).

The headland at Morfa-Nefyn, on the north coast of the Llÿn, is a highly rated rock mark. It produces an astonishing variety of fish, including some very big wrasse and pollack.

Boat fishing Boat anglers can book a charter from various ports, including Aberystwyth, Port Dinowic, and Rhyl. Small boats can be launched at sites throughout the region with Trefor, situated on the north shore of the Llÿn Peninsula, being one of the most popular.

Boats either fish inshore for such species as tope, bream, rays, huss and bass, or they venture further offshore among the wrecks which litter the seabed. Here you will encounter fighting fit pollack, many weighing above 10lb, along with cod, coalfish, ling and conger. Indeed, only recently has the true potential of the offshore wreck fishing of North Wales been fully appreciated, and certainly the best catches must be yet to come.

Fishing these wrecks you experience a quality of fishing that used to be associated with the best ports in the south of England, and at very modest cost.

Tackle and bait Live or artificial sandeel fished on lightweight tackle is the favoured wrecking technique. Not only is light tackle far more fun and more exciting to use - imagine playing a 20 1b pollack or cod on the equivalent of spinning tackle - but invariably it is also more effective. This same sporting approach can be put to good use for bass on marks closer to the shore.

Fertile attraction For many years North Wales has been one of the most popular coastal holiday areas in the UK. Many of the people who visit this beautiful part of the country come here to fish, and the majority of them return year after year. A few have simply never gone back home! That in itself speaks volumes for the quality of the sea fishing in this part Wales.
