Public Pontoon, Neyland, Pembrokeshire

BAITS
The bass take crab or worm. Mackerel and squid prove best for the conger, with the flounder picking up crab, mussel and worm baits. Mullet are caught on bread and small bits of ragworm.

TACKLE AND TACTICS
Mixed ground in places which produces best in the late evenings when the boat traffic has ceased and then in to the dark hours.

A beachcaster with a fixed spool or multiplier loaded with 18lb to 25lb line and a shock leader will suit general ledger fishing for most species. The top rig is a simple sliding ledger ending with 24-inches of 25lb line with a size 2 Aberdeen hook for the flounder, or a Viking pattern size 3/0 for the bass. The same rig does for the roaming nigh time conger, but up the hook link to 80lbs and use a 6/0 hook.

Mullet are hit and miss here and you need to be quiet when walking on the pontoon. Use a small mesh bag full of mashed bread either hung from the pontoon just in to the water or deeper down. Fish float gear using a fast actioned light barbel or Avon type rod, a fixed spool and 6lb line, the latter as there are boats moored close by. A simple paternoster also works well with the bread bag dropped to the seabed on a cord and the baited hook ledgered close by and downtide.

LOCATION
From St Clears take the A477 in to Pembroke Dock and over the toll bridge, then the left turn in to Neyland. Follow the signs for the marina and the public pontoon is a quarter mile further on on the left by Neyland Yacht Club. Car park directly above the mark.
