Cymyran Bay

Post by morrow »

Looking on maps the directions on here sound spot on and with me always being at Valley i thought i would look into this more!

Theres some fantastic reports and pictures that have been added by Kev and the lads,

Can you fish here both low and over high? And can you fish it regardless of what month? And last but not least it looks fairly shallow have you got to be a good caster to fish here or walk out a little? :think:

You can fish it over low and high. its one of them places where it either fish's or it dont. any bad westerly winds and the weed is a nightmare.
you get a run of bass through there on the ebb and flood. turbot over high close in but there only small.
and years ago it used to be good for small eye's but there's been a bit of a dicline in them over the last few years the best time for the small eye's is over high with a long cast ( been there a few times and have seen a local bloke take everyone he's caught home).

The main beach,some 200yds to the left of the white house is shallow,and in my experience only fishes well when there`s a lump on the water..i`ve had thornies and small eyed rays at low water,but that involves wading out(up to 50yds) and casting as far as i could....[ 90 mins either side of low can be productive,but when the flood starts in earnest,it`s fishing on the move like Formby and does`nt seem to do much....the 2 hours or so either side of high water is usually best with the greater your casting distance increasing your chances of rays....you don`t have to be a big caster to get them,especially if fishing in the right sea conditions and after dark. The bass and turbot are prob the main other targets and they can be taken pretty close in,again if the conditions are right,in either daylight or darkness.
You can eliminate the need for casting distance by fishing the very deep channel from the white house to 200yds to the left where it forms a big bowl/basin...the area close to where the basin/main beach meet is a good spot and produces good sport...the prob is the depth of the channel means the tidal pull can be terrific depending on the size of tide.....the ebb can often be best from this area. Plenty of bass run through this fast water stretch too,with spinning/plugging a good option...a lot of fish can be seen jumping @ 2 hours either side of low water.
It`s one of those places where it`s just a pleasure to fish,but also has the potential,given the variants in ground ,depth,tidal flow,to throw up some big fish. If i had the time i would fish it to death :drool:
winter fishing sucks

Defo up for a meet etc here if theres plenty of notice to book it off work, The pics look fantastic so do the fish, I love fishing around the island but the majority of time i fish alone so other than work hate driving there and fishing on my own.
