North Wales...Ffrith beach

Post by Big Kev »

Bass are the main quarry from this large sandy beach,and as such a favourable onshore breeze will increase your chances of success (any wind with north in it).The terrain is fairly flat with just a couple of very modest sandbanks to halt the flooding tide,and as such you will often be on the move after the first 90 mins of the flood.There is however a good channel some 80 yds out from the bottom of the steep shingle bank,which is where you can concentrate your efforts for the last 2 hours of the tide...therefore spring tides would be favourable.
Fresh worm,blow or yellowtails will work well for bass...razor is always a good bait just after a good blow.On my recent session i managed to take a 9lb huss on a squid n sandeel wrap,though i believe that to be far from the norm,though it`s always handy to try 2 rods with varying baits on a new venue.
As ever when fishing from low water,be aware of the channels filling in behind you,especially the one 80yds out which is also pretty muddy,though not dangerously soft....beaches change all the time so always have a proper recce on your arrival.
Parking is not straightforward,at least from where i fished,as all surrounding roads by the seafront have "resident parking only" signs displayed....we managed to park tight to a grassy mound at the bottom of Glascoed Avenue,and from there it was a hop over a 3ft wall and on to the steep shingle.
