WE   ARE   NOW   TAKING   BOOKINGS   FOR   THE   2012   BASS   SEASON

SOUTH WALES IS A PREMIER BASS FISHERY

The Bristol Channel is warmed up by the Gulf Stream which brings in many  species.

Sharks blues, Porbeagle, Bass, Tope, Plaice, Turbot, Pollock, Bream and Rays.

The summer months attract shoals of Bass, second to none around the British Isles.

Now that we have a new modern fast boat we are able to cover the Bristol Channel to locate these predators.
A lot of other warmer water fish are predicted to arrive around Welsh waters due to global warming.

BASS FISHING

Bass arrive in Carmarthen Bay towards the end of March, where Peeler Crab seem to be the best bait at this time.
Although Bass sometime seem elusive, one of the main factors to success is their feeding habits and best baits are,
Sandeels, Joey Mackerel, Mackerel Strips, Lugworm and King Rag Worm.

MOST OF THE SUMMER BASS FISHING IS PRACTISED BY DRIFT FISHING LIVE BAIT.

TOPE FISHING

May sees the early run of largeTope which we return alive. 

Also around this time the Mackerel shoals arrive.

This is the time when you feel the summer fish have arrived and the species that Carmarthen Bay and the Gower Coast hold are as follows.

Plaice	Thornback-Ray	Blue Sharks
Bass	Small-Eyed Ray	Porbeagle Sharks
Black Bream	Blonde Ray	Smooth Hounds
Codling	Cuckoo-Ray	Bull-Huss
Gurnard	Plus the inevitable Dogfish	Dabs

OFFSHORE MARKS

Pollock	Shark	Bass
Turbot	Blonde-Rays

Although certain species can be targeted. if the anglers so wish.

Fishing party`s can possibly end up with a mixed bag in excess of 10-16 species.

COD FISHING

In the winter months around our coastline shoals of Codling arrive around September and October, with the larger Cod usually taken between November and February, fished around Swansea and off the Gower Coast.

To target these fish we anchor up and try to encourage the Cod to feed,
by spreading the bait on the seabed around the boat and by up tiding and down tiding.
The most preferred bait is by far Black Lug and Blow Lug although Squid and Cuttlefish work, as they can be a useful secondary bait, to bulk up to attract the bigger fish. Whiting are in abundance and also the humble Dabs.

 

Please take your time to view the specification of our Charter Boat.
Then all you have do is, make a booking, sit back and enjoy an unlimited supply of complimentary hot drinks.
