Spinning in the Surf

[nad03]

I have a few questions on the above subject,so,here goes...
Firstly,are there certain things i should look for in relation to terrain,or is it possible to catch anywhere along the beach?.
Secondly,is there a better tide,ebb or flood,to spin or plug in?
Finally,does anyone know what species would be available to catch along the South Wales coastline ?
Thanks for any advice...........

Firstly you want to be looking for good breakers and any 'disturbed' areas of water caused by sanbanks,bars or gullies..
Tides differ from beach to beach but generally two hours before high water or the first hour of the ebb is best ..
As for species - most surf anglers are out waist deep spinning with plugs and lures for large Bass that patrol the beaches..

The fish like gullies and deep pools as this is where the food will accumulate in the tide and the bait fish will swim. A good sign of predatory fish is to look out for gulls diving into a bait fish boil. The bait fish boil as they are hearded to the surface by the predators and the gulls take advantage. I have seen this alot around Cricceth and have had some good catches, usually mackerel but also the occasional bass.
Hope this helps and good luck.
