Sea Angling in Wales


surf fishing, Llangennith
With a coastline that stretches from the Severn estuary in the south to the mouth of the Dee in the north, Wales has a fantastic varied coastline. Vast storm beaches like Porth Neigwl (Hell’s Mouth), Llangennith or Freshwater West are heaven to a variety of species such as bass and mullet and the anglers who pursue them. The rugged coastlines of the Gower, Pembrokeshire and the Llŷn peninsular hide a plethora of rocky marks where monster pollack and wrasse lurk in kelp strewn gullies and small sandy bays. Blue-green rivers lazily snake their way to the sea through long sandy estuaries such as the Loughor, Dyfi and Tywi, providing a temporary respite for the migratory salmonids who spawn in our rivers and streams and a longer home for bass, flatfish and the occasional tope.
The age-old tradition of sea faring manifests itself in the huge choice of Charter boats available from Welsh ports. You can fish the streaming tide as it roars over the reefs of Cardigan Bay or try your luck fishing the wreck of an unlucky vessel that fell foul of the combination of strong tides and rocky shoreline that makes Wales so beautiful. If launching your own vessel is your wish, there is plenty of choice with little or no charge for the privilege from the majority of sites and you may venture out to explore little bays such as Sully bay or the coves around Anglesey.
