Sea fishing

Fri Jul 19, 2013 2:53 pm

Off topic, but I'm not sure where to ask. I am quite interested in fishing, but I'm not a great angler at all! :lol:

I've done a bit of river fishing, but that's about it. Never caught anything either. Does anyone on here who go fishing have any tips? Or know an organisation or something where I can tag along and check out some sea fishing?

Just come back from down the bay mate, loads of people fishing off the barrage wall. Every time I've been down there, they are always a Very friendly bunch who are more than willing to chat away with anyone and share their tips with beginners. They were catching quite a few off there aswell. Might be a good place to start :ayatollah:

Never fished around Cardiff area so if you find out about any good spots let me know.

I do quite a bit of fishing down St Davids which is really good if your ever down that area

IMO sea fishing is a lot better than river fishing Barry is good place to fish of the rocks. Caught plenty there the vest. Sea fishing in Britain I've done is Fresh water bay in Line Regis loads of stuff there. In one day I caught 5 diffrent variety of fish makeral, garfish, Gubbies and 2 diffrent kinds of flatfish don't know what they were called :ayatollah:
