Rhosneigr, Anglesey

Mike Thrussell 01 January, 2006 06:35:00

From late October the beach can produce a good run of coalfish with fish over 3lbs fairly common at times. Odd codling are taken from the edge of the rocks in front of the village, again from the end of October.

BAITS
Fresh crab is the main bait for the bass and flounders, with black lug tipped with squid also good for the bass, and try ragworm for the flounder. Tip lug off with mackerel or sandeel for the whiting and dabs, though half a medium sized sandeel picks out the bigger whiting. Razorfish can fish well for the flounder from October on.

TACKLE AND TACTICS
A bass rod or beachcaster with 3 to 5ozs of lead and 15lb line is perfect here. Long range can produce bigger bass in high surf conditions, but generally shorter 40 to 60-yard casts produces the most fish. Top rigs are one-hook clipped down rigs and 3/0 hooks for the bass, with three-hook flappers and size 1 or 2 Aberdeen's best for general species.

The beach fishes best the two hours either side of low water towards the rock finger walking west along the beach, but can also produce either side of low and high water and for the first two hours of the ebb fishing tight to the rocks at the eastern end of the beach, this being the most popular spot. Night spring tides give the best sport, but bass also show in calming seas after a good blow.

Neap tides are good for flounder, whiting and dabs during calmer seas at night.

LOCATION
Come off the A55 on to the A4080 heading for Rhosneigr village taking the right turn at Llanfaelog. Limited parking in the village.
