Right ok thanks Nick, how would you fish those places? just a running ledger, with ragworm, squid or mackerel for bait? What size hooks, ledger weight would you use? Sorry totally new to sea/beach fishing.

i normally fish a 2 or a 3 hook flapper , size 2 hook , lead depending on state of tide ,

if after bass , big baits and 5/0 hooks with a 2/0 pennel

bait fresh lug as its where the beds are

never catch feck all tho

I'm planning a weekend of shore fishing, we haven't decided on where to go yet though. Can you tell me the best places to shore fish in Colwyn Bay and Anglesea for example? I'm thinking there going to be the best two places (for the fishing and nice places to stop overnight), I still plan to try Rhyl but I don't fancy stopping overnight there.

Colwyn Bay nr the prom
On anglesey the world is your oyster . beach fishing try
Borthwen at Rhoscolyn

Hi mate, thanks for the reply. Sounds like it's gonna be Anglesea then. Where stopping at a B & B.

Would you use the same rigs you suggested for fising at Rhyl?

- 3 Hook Flapper Rig (size 2 hook)

Bass:
- Pennel Rig (5/0 hook, 2/0 pennel hook)
