Morfa Beach, Trefor, Gwynedd

Mike Thrussell 01 January, 2006 06:35:00

BAITS
Go for mackerel or whole launce sandeel for the huss and rays. Crab works best for the bigger wrasse with blow lug or rag good for numbers. Plaice take crab tipped with rag, and the bass are best targeted with big soft or peeler crab baits.

TACKLE AND TACTICS
Low water and a long cast finds patchy broken ground carrying the huss, rays and plaice. Target the plaice with a two-hook wishbone rig and size 2 Aberdeen's. The huss and rays require a pulley rig with a size 4/0 Viking pattern hook.

From mid flood to an hour after high water, especially on smaller neap tides, a medium cast on to the rough ground can produce more huss, plus ballan wrasse that work across the ground. A few bass are also caught either side of high water. A one-hook rig with a size 3/0 Viking will take both the wrasse and the bass.

Some anglers also take bass here working plugs over the rougher ground during calmer days as the tide floods in.

Tackle losses can be heavy, so fish a 5-6oz beachcaster, a 7000 sizes reel and 25 to 30lb line with a 60lb shock leader. Some anglers risk more gear but catch more fish by dropping down to a Penn 525 Mag and 20lb line for extra range.

LOCATION
From Pwllheli take the A499. Just after Llanhaelhaearn take the left turn signposted for Trefor. From Caernarfon take the A499 and just before Llanhaelhaearn turn right for Trefor. As you come to the village turn first right and follow the road through the houses towards the pier. Plenty of parking in front of the breakwater with the beach directly in front of the car park facing west.
