Ok just read the previous posts and found some info, one question though. Where is the pool and is it worth fishing this time of year?

Hey mate
Cefn Siden is a cracking venue during the spring and summer months. I have just now got back from there, caught a few nice flounders.
My club hosted the penn league final last year. 39 people fished the final and a total of 700 fish were signed in.
First and formost Siden is a flonder venue and good size flonders at that. 2 of the fish I caught this evening were over 16" long, but they were spent so they prob only weighed 1lb 1/2 or so. (I returned all the fish).
Secondly Siden has a habbit of throwing up big bass especially when the conditions are right, after all the beach does face due west. During matches there over the last couple of years you have needed a big bass to win it.

be careful there is a sandbank to the left of the park .seen people stuck on there .stay to the right of the park entrance

 

[Silverbar]

The best fishing is usually to the right, anywhere around the wreck. This is the place where the big bass come from.

 

[SuperBassMaster]

can you see the wreck at low water?? never fished that end myself i always go left!! maddies and peelers killer baits ere with lug an razors in or after a good blow

 

[salmonking]

is it safe parking there guys?never been myself,wouldnt mind giving it a go

 

[SuperBassMaster]

never had any worries there myself mate

 

[Silverbar]

As far as I know parking is fine, you have to pay to get in the park and there are a number of park employees out and about especially in the summer.

The wreck is half way up the beach, today for example as it was a small tide it didn't hit the wreck until approx. 2 hours before top tide.

Park in car park No. 1 and then walk across the path to the beach, path is labeled as beach entrance A. You should see the wreck in the distance.

parking is normally safe here mate. best place to park is in the park itself, carpark 3 i think. park here walk over dunes towards the sea and when on the beach walk right, anywhere around the wreck is fine and fish with bunches of mudworm or lug. good bass mark excellent flounder mark. have had over 40 flounder here in a match over the 12" size limit.

devon dave, no need to fish in darkness as the fishing is just as good in daylight, probably get more flounder in the day.

 

[Silverbar]

Shaun you have never had 40 flounder there!!!!!:clap2: :clap2:

Only joking
Chris

 

[sevans]

how you doing chris, not a lot about today then?
give it another 3 or 4 weeks and there should be plenty of fish.

 

[Silverbar]

The flats were very long. Only fished for about 3 hours. Had one rod out with mackrel fillet on just in case.

Not many matches on lately, I'm bored without them

Plenty of small turbot around that area. Is it pegged?
Tempted to fish it, nice short match too.

 

[oarsman dan]

parking is ok in daylight - plenty of people about!!

personally I wouln't bother fishing at night as it fishes best in daylight anyhow, and I've seen boy racers down there in their Nova's doing douhnuts in the carpark after dark - wouldn't trust em myself! (not that i'm stereotyping!!!!!)

Park in the furthest carpark on the right - over the dunes and walk right - mind the nudists though (that's where they live!). Not much to see though - mostly all male apart from the odd granny!!!!!!! unless your into all that? lol

hi lads bit of info for you if like me you want to fish there at night and you park in the park itself go through the dunes and head to the right and walk for about 20 mins up the beach.
you will see the lights of pendine /llanstephan in the distance as for safety it's not an issue if you fish the right. i cannot comment on the left side of the beach as i never fish there.what i will say is once you fish the night tides you will never want to fish there in the day again it is far more productive at night. pound for pound sidan is one of the best marks i find at night if poss pick the smaller tides as the big tides will have you running back with your gear all the time.bait wise i use tried and tested blacks deadly it is but thats me we all have our fav baits try the mark out you wont be dissapointed for sure..andy ilsf..
