Rumney Foreshore

BAITS
Black lug tipped with blow lug and a strip of squid is the best all round combination bait taking the codling, conger and the bigger whiting. If you can get fresh, or even frozen, crab will give you an extra edge with cod. The whiting take fish baits or lug tipped with squid. Also try mixing lug and rag and tip with just a small strip of mackerel for the better flounder. A whole squid can pick up the better cod and conger if you're prepared to wait.

TACKLE AND TACTICS
Choose a 5-6oz beachcaster and a reel loaded with 300-yards of 18lb line. Good rigs are pulley rigs made from 60lb mono using a size 4/0 hooks rigged pennel style. It pays to use brightly coloured line and leaders to help locate fish on the retrieve due to the heavily coloured water. Carry leads between 5 and 6ozs with grip wires to cover all situations. Target the flounder and whiting with a two or three-hook flapper rigs using size 1 Aberdeen hooks. Have the lower hook trace positioned right behind the lead to pick out the flounder.

Local anglers prefer to fish over the smaller neap tides through the flood to high water. Use short casts for the flounder but distance can help at times for the codling. A southerly to southwest wind fishes well here. This whole area though is affected by prolonged heavy rain and will fish poorly with the flood water from the River Severn pushing the fish out.

LOCATION
Come off the M4 at Junction 29 on to the A48 for Llanrumney. Take the B4487 for Roath turning left on to the B4239 for Rumney and the foreshore. Don't leave valuables in your car here!
