The gowers far enough down the channel,for all the sediment to have dropped out of the water,brilliant bass fishing from the shore,inthe rocky gullies the fish come right inshore chasing up the gullies on the flood,like 10 yard sfrom your feet.........Mumbles pier is another good venue,bass ,flatties ,gurnard,and "doggies "........

FWIW, the cod season on the South Coast does seem slow. Big cod are being caught but its one per boat, not one per angler as it can be in a good year. The whiting are scattered too. With luck, it is just that the water has been slow to cool down and we'll see a big influx over christmas and into the New Year
