Ceibwr Bay, West Wales

Mike Thrussell 01 January, 2006 06:10:00

BAITS
Small spinners or feathers work best for the mackerel. Bigger spinners and plugs take the pollack, with the wrasse falling to crab or worm baits.

TACKLE AND TACTICS
A rocky bay with a shallower gutter tight inshore with exposed rocks beyond. It fishes best in calm conditions the two hours either side of high water, though clambering around the rocks at either side can produce fish at other stages of the tide, but care is needed here.

The wrasse lay in the gutter below you and are best fished for on float tackle using a 3oz spinning rod and 15lb line with a size 2/0 Viking pattern hook.

The mackerel and pollack can be caught over high water by casting beyond the gutter and spinning back through it. The more consistent fishing though, is on the far right hand side casting towards the rocky cliffs inside a small bay. The bass and pollack, and to some extent the mackerel, herd shoals of sandeel and sprat in to this small bay during the bigger tides at this time of year and will take spinners, plugs and rubber eels worked through and over the shoals. Again the 3oz spinning rod and 15lb line with a fixed spool reel is the best tackle choice.

Late September produces the best of the pollack and bass with fish over 6lbs possible.
