Hi all,

Just some advice and help needed, i am staying at a local campsite in Llecyn, Llangwnadl, Porth Colmon on the north side of the Llyn Peninsula area. There will be four of us and its a 4 day fishing trip for my nephews 16th birthday. We have a 400mile drive and no local knowledge:huh:. We start are holiday on the 9th of july and was wondering if anybody could give me some good marks around this area. We would like to fish rock marks during the day and find some nice beach's to fish at night. Any info would be great.

Many thanks

You only need to go walking distance for any type of fishing.
As you go down to Porth Colmon there is parking for about 5 cars but it gets full with boats in the daytime.

From the bay follow the path to the RIGHT you will go up then back down into a huge sandy bay. At the left hand end you can fish between the rocks (good at high tide) and you are casting onto worm beds. there are rocks off shore which hold Bass. Further on you have half a mile of sandy beach into quite shallow water.

If you walk a short way LEFT along the beach / rocks you can fish out over the reef very rocky and kelp so stay off the bottom.

Walk LEFT up the cliff path for about half a mile and you can drop / slide down the grass slope onto the rocks of the reef for mixed ground Pollack and Wrass to worm on floats.

i found the colmon are quite shallow. probably ok fishing the bottom at night.

go north towards nefyn or south towards porth iago for deeper water and a better chance of pollock and wrasse.

marks around plwhelli will give you easier fishing especially the beach and harbour entrance. both best fished into darkness.

Porth Colmon is excellent in darkness at all stages of tide(dogfish, rockling, small eels, bass, spider crabs!) nothing of any size, but you get the rod rattled a fair bit. I believe there's a chance of huss down there too . The small cove can get full of sea weed quite often but just fish on the rocks to the left make sure you keep your lines are cast in a line with the cove as if you cast too far left or right you lose tackle. In the day time i've caught plenty of wrasse on lugworm using a two hook flapper rig. You can dig lug on the beach round the corner to the right. In terms of rock fishing you have Porth Iago or Porth Dinllaen relatively close by.
