Cardiff Foreshore Fishing - Spring Codling & Thornback Rays

[@allenbrown8158]

Great session full of information, not like some on here, who are scared to say where they are. I used to love the Forshaw ,but i cant go there now due the port restrictions and my lack of mobility. well done Phil look forward to the next one.

[@BanditFishingUK]

We try to give as many tips as we can and we are all for helping other anglers get on the fish. Hopefully you can find some easier to access marks to catch a few yourself. Thanks for the comment Allen!

Great video man, fair play for showing the snap off 🤣

[@BanditFishingUK]

It happens to everyone. We are far from perfect 😂. It’s a bit embarrassing but hurts less if you catch a few fish after it. Cheers Mark!

[@BanditFishingUK]

The foreshore was kind to Phil for this first session back. Hopefully we’ll be back and get a load more through the year

[@andyscoey3593]

I bet it felt good to be back on the water and catching again, a long time waiting. Makes me want to plan my next outing.

[@BanditFishingUK]

Nothing beats standing next to water. Thanks for watching Andy

[@rfhookers7213]

[@robbiemullane6109]

Brilliant video lads. Nice to see some codling still about and the ray too was a nice bonus to the first session. Can only be better from here surely

[@BanditFishingUK]

Yes it was good to get in to a couple of fish at long last. Onwards and upwards hopefully

[@TripFishingMyLife]

Good fishing.. Great.. Mantap bozzku... 👍👌

[@BanditFishingUK]

Thanks for watching!

[@SteveLofthouse_]

Newbie here, live in the Midlands so have to travel and rely on whatever info about where to fish that people are prepared to share. There's so much info in this vid I'll need to watch it again! Also love that you're not scared to show when things go wrong. So many lessons are learned from other people's mistakes... and nobody is perfect. One other comment here says something about port restrictions preventing fishing on the foreshore... do you know any more or is fishing allowed? Cheers and thanks again👍

[@BanditFishingUK]

It’s nice to get some great feedback from you, the viewers. You are right, not every session is perfect. Everyone has the odd crack off, loses gear to snags and of course we all lose fish too. Access to the foreshore is allowed as long as you don’t climb up on to the dock property which is a fair way down. Obviously many still fish there and as long as they behave, clean up, don’t light fires, etc they get left in peace. We tend to fish the eastern end where this was recorded and you have the peace of mind that you won’t get approached by security. You can do an internet search of “Cardiff foreshore fishing marks”’where you will find someone who has kindly dropped pins on the popular areas with great info on each mark. Thanks for watching Steve

[@SteveLofthouse_]

That's worked a treat thanks. Brilliant!

[@stuartcross749]

Hi Phil cracking video did u walk up the gravel path at back of building to get there thanks

[@BanditFishingUK]

Yes Stuart you’ve got it. This was on the first big point with the “boulders” on the beach

[@stuartcoleman7421]

Hi, I think I met you this year on Cardiff bay on the wall. I had my daughter with me who is at university there. You told us you made your own pasta. Don't know if you remember. I went fishing on the wall next day but didn't catch anything.

[@BanditFishingUK]

Hi Stuart! I don’t think that was me sorry mate but I do love a bit of pasta. Any food in fact 😂

[@lurekayaklrf]

Pretty creepy that today on my way back from cardiff I pulled over at ‘Splott Beach’ carpark and walked along this beach in the video then this is suggested to me the moment I get home 😂😅

[@BanditFishingUK]

“They” are watching us 😂

[@rengamz]

Nice session there mate. Want to try foreshore but don’t know where should I set up, don’t how close the tides will come in and big is the tides for safer fishing? Thanks

[@BanditFishingUK]

www.google.com/mymaps/viewer?mid=1LMJGAL43yKsdCthvyU29r-YAYSI&hl=en_GB Follow that link to a map that someone kindly dropped a pin on every popular foreshore mark. Each pin shows a bit of info on the marks such as which size tide to fish each one. If you’ve got any more questions don’t be scared to ask.

[@rengamz]

@@BanditFishingUK cheers mate ...

[@FishHunterUK]

Bagger lads I'm thinking of coming down Thursday /Friday dnext week for my birthday trip is it worth coming over your side of the bridge I'm only after cod lol what would you suggest

[@BanditFishingUK]

Hi mate, the traffic cops are sitting on the motorway with ANPR so might get you coming in. Not seeing many cod about but the rays are showing. Some big blondes being caught up to 20lb.

[@FishHunterUK]

@@BanditFishingUK were allowed to travel now bud so not worried about them and ohhhh blondes will do nicely not after secret spots but a point in the right direction would be great if u could

[@gary-dn4uw]

Nice video again & nice to see you back what rods were you using in the video please 👍🎣

[@BanditFishingUK]

They are a pair of Zziplex M4GT rods. Thanks for watching

[@gary-dn4uw]

@@BanditFishingUK are they easy casting rods for overhead i got a zziplex evolution c2

Great video mate maybe meet up down there when your fee take care

[@andyclement4564]

Good video What rods you using ??

[@BanditFishingUK]

They are Zziplex M4GTs 👍🏼

[@goose1988]

What size do the Thornback's go to in the Bristol Channel? We get them to near 20lb at the top end here in west of Ireland

[@BanditFishingUK]

A double figure is a good one from the shore here. They get the odd high double on the boats. 20lb is a big thornback!

[@0292-q3l]

fairly new to fishing, is it free to fish the foreshore?

[@mwscuba]

How do you access the foreshore ? Can you walk past the SIG building, I can see what looks like a path on Google maps. Thanks.

[@BanditFishingUK]

Yes that’s spot on Mark. Park away from any gates and don’t leave anything valuable in the car or at least not on show! Walk around the SIG factory and there’s only one path now. You’ll come out looking at the first mark called the “Gut”. Just keep walking right and you’ll see plenty of cracking marks. All the best

[@mwscuba]

@@BanditFishingUK cheers. Many thanks.
