Was born and raised in Pwllheli.... your observations are spot on.... We used to have a few marks that we as locals considered "secret".... Wrasse, Pollack, Ling, Bass and Conger being popular target species.... Today the only "secret" marks left are the ones considered impossible or dangerous to get to.... where local knowledge evens the odds.... There is still one mark I visit regularly to this day that very few people know how to reach..... don't use any fishing tackle as such there.... except a "tuppence and threepenny" double ended bar.... its used to catch Lobsters by hand at extreme low tides when rocky channels are revealed.... The Llyn Peninsula is definitely one of the greatest hotspots for fishing in Europe and the water quality is second to none....
Some great comment here. There are indeed huge rewards for those who are willing to find their own marks. I always used to get excited when there wasn't beaten down ferns on the way to a new mark... Your spot on in what you say and those clear waters are something special. I've heard some stories of some extraordinary catches of bass and tope from easterly facing rock ledges close to beaches but im not giving specific spots away there's definitely work required for the visiting Angler. 😉😉
@@SaltwaterAngler its true what you said in a previous comment too.... regarding trespassing on farm land....pop in and see the farmer, they are usually friendly enough and a bribe of a handful of edible catch goes a long way....its a huge advantage if you speak Welsh, but even if you don't, just learn a few words to impress that your trying.... that goes a long way too.... It's more than just a matter of being polite by asking....you tell the farmer your ETA for returning.... just in case something goes wrong.... I used to have a little joke with the farmer "if I'm not back by then I'm sleeping with the fishes".... My mate twisted his ankle one time and it delayed us by over an hour climbing off the mark.... the farmer was there waiting with his tractor.....
@@SaltwaterAngler.... Also.... I don't mind sharing mark info....but only with individuals who respect and appreciate the risks involved and respect the marks sanctity....how many times have you visited a mark and found that the previous fisherman left a right mess there?.... always been a pet hate of mine....
Some decent marks but the bit you called the life boat is actually the yacht club and the big sewer pipe that comes off it next to the jeti is some of the best bass fishing around. Also the beach that you said to stay well away from by abersoch is home to the bigger bass and is a go to spot in the night time.
Nice little bay we launch with are boats from here definitely need 4x4 to get onto beach after that easy launching. go down the coast to the big reef great sport for the pollack
Great video just what i wanted I normally fish rivers for salmon but want to kayak fish with lures so need to know were to launch etc ,your video was very helpful. Thanks
Sounds as if many parts would suit LRF. I'm not into beach casting, but small lures yes. What month would the chance of mackerel from the beach, and if so what beach would be best, it's a long trip down to you? I'm in the East Lincs. Thanks of the hard work you're making on our behalf.
On its day I would suggest the journey to the Llyn is well worth it. It hasn't been the best of years for the mackerel 2017 so far. It's a case of when they're in you'll catch them. There is a venue on the south coast that will see mackerel as early as may and out fishes most rock marks through June its hinted at in the video. But realistically July is your best bet for them. Early season is good for the Huss and you'll still get the Pollack. Deep water from rock marks takes fish. Open to other points of view here but a flooding tide seems best for me.I think the days of huge shoals (there's a legend of a shoal from one end of Aberdaron bay to the other !) are gone but Pwhelli main beach by Gimblet, Uchymynedd cilan better than North coast marks.
@@SaltwaterAngler I wish there were - it's just very shallow gravel / sand out there these days. Always makes me laugh seeing people belting out big rigs off the rocks when even 100 yards out, they're still only fishing in 6 feet of water.
nice first time ive seen this instantly subscribed , do you have a vid on bardsy i have a kayak so want to visit there soon , heard it was one of the only places in the UK you can catch crayfish (yes salt water ones) you know anything about that , with pots obviously .
Hi, I’m holidaying there in a couple of weeks and hope to do a bit of fishing, unfortunately I’ve got nerve damage in my leg which makes rock hopping a bit dangerous, is there any marks you could recommend near Pwllheli for the slightly disabled 👍
Thanks Phil, just somewhere to start, there are some brilliant venues all along this coastline available for those able and willing. Unfortunately the latest restrictions won’t help 😢 but hopefully planning for better days ahead
Hi yes I dream of a time where we can get round a lot more of the country. I've made a note of any mark requests and one day plan a two week road trip to research and fish them. Thanks for your Interest
daz bate there are the countries best tope marks on this shoreline as the recent Welsh and British record has shown. There are those that have spent years keeping these marks secret for tope so i dont want to be too specific other than the usual spots which would be off Cilan, Rhiw and either side of Aberdaron ! You will find some other marks just getting out there theres a lot of walking to be done ! Have a look at wobblers post over at wsf.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.. showing the Llyn at its best... We have just set up a website on all things North Wales, check it out at www.whatsonnorthwales.com

I have watched all your fishing marks video.s and think they are the most informative ive seen ......please please please keep these going
1:02 we have a big speed boat we go on
The route is usually out of the harbour and round the islands off the headland
Keep this kind of video coming, great stuff.

Thanks for that - A good update and tips much appreciated 👍
No problem 👍🏽

Thanks for the comments, Im no expert but there should be enough to get people fishing
Great video just what i wanted I normally fish rivers for salmon but want to kayak fish with lures so need to know were to launch etc ,your video was very helpful. Thanks
Nice some top places further east too around Porthmadog
@@SaltwaterAngler That sounds great do you know where abouts exactly and Ill check them out when this nightmare is over Thanks
I live in porthmadog. All good marks you've pointed out but for bass I'm sticking closer to home
I go fishing every year there the best mackerel spot is just round the left lifeboat slope on the main beach
Caught 40 of a kayak in 2017
Good work !
Great video, just what I've been looking for. Thanks and keep them coming please.
had some big flatties at Abersoch.. dabs, plaice and flounder on lug rigged paternoster.
Thanks, must admit I rarely fish Abersoch but have seen bass and mullet here and remember seeing a decent Thornback caught from the rocks a while back
Just started fishing hells mouth!! Great video 👍
How did you get on at hells mouth ?
good video very helpful thanks for sharing cheers Stewart
Super detail thank you
Nice one, do be careful out here though can get some massive swells and when those rocks are slippery too👍

I can say with 100% confidence that there aren’t mussel beds of Carreg y Defaid - where did you get that idea? 😂
Not any more

Bardsey would be a good one wouldnt it ! Lots of Conger and long walks and snags. Ill do one, Thanks for the feedback appreciate your comments.

There are. Ill send a quick video over by the end of the weekend
Sea Fishing Marks U.K that’s brilliant, thanks you 👍

Nice video. Great idea. Please continue up the west side of the peninsula. Thanks.

Great thanks.

Really useful information but I cant find the website that is flagged.
Thanks for commenting. The website is no more ! I have a filming trip planned for the Llyn this summer to add more detail. Thanks again
Great Video, Give us a message if you fancy a session , Dan
Do you have a video on brean / Burnham on sea area?
No sorry the full list of marks can be found on the channels playlist
@@SaltwaterAngler oh well.was worth asking. Would you consider doing a video ?
Hi yes I dream of a time where we can get round a lot more of the country. I've made a note of any mark requests and one day plan a two week road trip to research and fish them. Thanks for your Interest
@@SaltwaterAngler your welcome. These types of videos are of a huge valued help.
Anyone know about n/w Anglesey ?

Thanks John , must do an update for these 👍
where for the tope from the shore please ?
