Benllech, Anglesey

BAITS
Black and blow lug or ragworm are the mainstay baits tipped with sandeel or mackerel strip. Bigger whiting taking strips of mackerel or half sandeel sections. Black lug tipped with squid is a good bass bait, especially for the occasional bigger fish.

TACKLE AND TACTICS
Only worth fishing at night and during the spring tides. It produces well in calm weather to long range casts for the whiting and dabs, but fishes best for the coalies and bass with a good surf and northerly wind blowing force 3 to 5 putting baits at medium range in amongst the surf tables.

Distance makes a difference here, so you'll need the power of a 5-6oz beachcaster, 15lb mono and a 60lb shock leader. Carry grip leads of 5ozs for normal conditions, but in a big surf a 6oz lead can be useful advantage.

For the dabs, whiting, dogs and coalies locals favour a clipped down three-hook rig with size 2 Kamasan B940 Aberdeen using 12-inch hook traces from 20lb mono. For the bass a one-hook clipped own rig with two size 2/0 Viking pattern hooks rigged pennel style on a 30lb trace is the best choice.

Plenty of fish are caught off the promenade casting out on to clean sand, but you can also fish off the sandy beach on the right hand side, which is where the bulk of the bass come from. It can be a hot and cold mark, but does give shelter from strong southerly and southwesterly winds.

LOCATION
Take the A5 over the Menai Straits, then the A5025 signposted for Amlwch. Pass through the village of Pentraeth, then look for the right-hand turn for Benllech. There is ample parking by the promenade.
