Shore fishing

Shore Fishing is very popular on Anglesey, yet, with such a vast area of coastline available, you can always find quiet sheltered spots for peaceful fishing.

There are numerous established points for shore fishing, starting at Anglesey's main point of entry, Britannia Bridge, and running right around the island to nearby Moel y Don. Each offers car parking, in addition to other facilities and all have marvellous views out to sea.

The variety of catch is wide and varies throughout the seasons. It includes bass, bull huss, coalfish, cod, conger eel, dab, dogfish, flounder, mackerel, mullet, plaice, pollack, rays, including thornback, smalleyed, spotted and blonde, smoothhound, whiting and wrasse.
