hi
I have just started back fishing, havnt been since I used to go as a kid to Swansea pier in the 80’s
Went to aberavon last Thursday, by the dunes/old people’s home, bought rag worm from dragon, we caught a few small bass must of had about 10 on the incoming tide.

Any local advice anyone? Anything I need to know? , I’m not for from aberavon or go to west wales a lot so would’t mind going to Saundersfoot or something like that.

Thanks
Jimi

Welcome Jimi.
I had this off the beach a coupla weeks ago, parked by the naval club and walked through the dunes.
Not huge, but for this newbie it was awesome

I didn't weigh it, but you can see by the steelworks roughly how far up I was.
Loads of schoolies on rag too for my friend, plus a juvenile small-eyed.
Even I got brave enough to put a rag on ( I'm scared of them ) and had a schoolie within 30 seconds.
A guy just down from us lost a good bass using lug that he'd pumped at LT.

The ray in my pic took whole squid that I threw out at LT and then walked the rod up the beach. Maybe 15 turns of line left on the spool when I had the bite, so a fair way out.
Not a biggie by any means, but one happy angler!

Nice Ray!! yeah those rag worm ain’t the nicest, thanks for all the info, I’m off to west wales next week so I’ll probably try for some mackerel at Saundersfoot or something
