Point Lynas, Anglesey

BAITS
Herring or mackerel, either as fillets or big chunks and tipped with a squid head, also whole squid, small fresh pouting or poor cod work well for the conger and will also take huss. Whole launce sandeel with the head and tail removed is the most reliable huss bait. Wrasse take small hardback or peeler crab baits, also ragworm. Occasional pollack to fall to sandeel baits or even mackerel strip, as will the whiting, with codling best targeted with peeler crab or big black lug baits.

TACKLE AND TACTICS
Fishing is off rocks and although long range casting can find some sand just east of the lighthouse, generally the western facing ground is rough with occasional cleaner ground and the tide run strong. Fish 5-6oz beachcasters, 7000 or 535 sized multipliers loaded with 25lb to 30lb line. Use pulley rigs made from 60lb mono for general fishing, but increase this to 100lb mono when targeting the conger, and always rig with a rotten bottom link system to the lead as tackle losses will be heavy.

With the milder winters the pollack continue to take lures well past Christmas, so a spinning rod capable of casting 3ozs, a fixed spool and 15lb line gives an alternative daylight technique using artificial eels and jelly worms.

The best tides are the smaller neaps when the tide run is less and the fish actively feeding for longer periods. The two hours either side of low and high water tend to give the best fishing, but on the small neaps the huss and pollack can feed through the mid tide period Choose the calmer days and nights as big swells can wash up these rocks during periods of unsettled weather.

LOCATION
Take the A55 over the Britannia Bridge spanning the Menai Straits on to the A5 heading for Holyhead. Almost immediately take the right turn on to the A5025 for Moelfre and Amlwch. Just before the village of Penysarn take the right turn signposted Pengorffwysfa, and then Point Lynas is signposted from there. Parking is in a small car park just before the stone pillars leading to the lighthouse. Walk towards the lighthouse and take the path on the left of the road over to the rocks.
