If you\u2019re new to fishing in this&nbsp;area there are lots of differing varieties of fish to be caught. We have \u2018flatties\u2019 such as Dab, Flounder, Plaice, Turbot, and&nbsp;Sole(if you\u2019re lucky). We also have a good number of \u2018round\u2019 fish such as Mackerel,&nbsp;Bream(black and gilthead), Wrasse, Gurnard, Pollack, Bass, Pouting, Cod and Whiting. Also, (shark family) Dogfish,&nbsp;Spurdog, Tope,&nbsp;Bullhuss, Skate, Ray and \u2018rarely\u2019&nbsp;Shark(Blue and&nbsp;Porbeagle).&nbsp;Eels(freshwater and Conger). These are most, but not all the species to be caught, there are many others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lpyc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image002-1.jpg\" alt=\"Lesser Weever fish\" class=\"wp-image-363\" width=\"340\" height=\"234\"\/><figcaption>Lesser Weaver fish<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fish to be aware of:-Lesser Weever, Greater Weever<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Lesser Weever&nbsp;<\/strong>is a small unassuming fish easily identifiable by four webbed black spikes in a line, above its gill plate. Do not be tempted to touch these spikes; its sting is very painful. The&nbsp;<strong>Greater Weever&nbsp;<\/strong>is different to the Lesser Weever only by its size and colouring; it has a blotchy appearance and should be treated with the same respect. Remove hooks with forceps or disgorgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Treatment in case of sting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The poison is protein-based and to reduce the pain, we need to \u2018de-nature\u2019 or cook the protein. The best treatment is placing the affected area in a bowl of hot water for 10-15 minutes, replacing the hot water as it cools. This needs to be as hot as&nbsp;the casualty can stand, without scalding them \u2013 think of a very hot but bearable bath as a guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Legal Size Limit<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to be aware of when sea fishing is the&nbsp;<strong>legal size limit<\/strong>&nbsp;requirement, as&nbsp;laid&nbsp;down by the&nbsp;<strong>Welsh Government Fisheries<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>department<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a whole page devoted to these and types of fish at the end for you to peruse, it\u2019s a good idea to print it out and familiarise yourself with it. The fines for not complying are very high; ignorance will not help you in any way. Having said that, please do not let it put you off fishing; simply just adhere to the size limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Where to fish and what bait to use<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you see from the species list, there are plenty to choose from, a lot of these fish breed locally, so unfortunately, a lot of them are juvenile, under size fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are fish like Mackerel that are plentiful in the summer months; these are easily caught on \u2018feathers\u2019 but to catch these, you would normally need to be on a boat. You can fish off the bank, but you are better of using bait, Sand eels, Mackerel strip, even Lug or Rag worm and of course artificial baits like spinners or plastic Sand eels. You can fish from the beach or the Sea wall but only when the tide is in. Don\u2019t forget your tide timetable is in your membership book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can catch Flounders, Bass or Wrasse (watch out for Weevers) from the club slipway and\/or the Sea wall. Most club fishing members will give you good fishing advice, do not be afraid to ask them about what baits to use, where the best place to fish is, local knowledge is king in fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barmouth&nbsp;is closest for your fishing bits and pieces; there are two shops that are usually open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make a list of what you need before you go, so that you do not forget anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Legal Fish Size<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Welsh Government Fisheries section<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FISH SPECIES&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mm(millimetres)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bass (Dicentrarchus&nbsp;labrax)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;420    Or two per day<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black&nbsp;Seabream&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
