Where to Fish?

So you’ve sorted your tackle and gear out, been and got your bait and checked the tide and weather forecasts but where do you go fishing?

Ideally you want to start off with somewhere that’s easily accessible and where you have a good chance of some fish! Below are a few good suggestions to get you started off.

swansbay802

Swansea Bay - a selection of spots to fish here from County Hall all the way around to Oystermouth, parking is generally in pay and display car parks with a short walk to the beach. Some spots you can actually fish from the promenade but be careful of the cyclists and pedestrians. There are a few rocky areas but this beach is mainly sand and is a flat beach. Expect to catch bass, whiting, silver eels, flounders, dabs and plaice.

Knab Rock - a popular venue as you can drive in and virtually fish out of your boot! Pay and display parking. Fishing off the sea wall between two boat launch ramps, onto a mixture of sand and rocks. Species generally the same as the Bay.

mumbles pier702

Mumbles Pier - this venue can be reached by car and bus, parking is pay and display and you will need to pay to take your rods onto the pier. Fishing into deep water and a mixed sea bed of sand, mussel beds and rocks you stand a good chance of a variety of fish.

West Pier - a popular venue and you need a licence to fish here (available from the port authority). Situated at the entrance to the docks you can fish into the docks or over the sea wall onto the sandy beach. Parking is at the end of the road before you get to the pier right beside the roundabout. A good chance at a variety of fish here.

Swansea Marina - After you park and walk towards the West Pier you will see all the charter fishing boats moored along side Roger’s Tackle. If you go in the summer you will probably see people fishing for the mullet in the marina.
