10 fishing spots on Pembrokeshire Coast
As the UK’s only coastal National Park, it’s no surprise that Pembrokeshire Coast is a wealth of fantastic places to go fishing. Here are 10 spots that we recommend for keen anglers.
Yet y Gors Fishery and Campsite
With a new lake opening in 2017 Yet y Gors fishery and campsite is expanding to cope with the demand of keen fishermen and women looking for a secluded spot to hone their skills and try out coarse fishing. The lakes on the site are filled with carp and eels with no designated spot for guests to fish from. There’s an on-site tackle shop to stock up with all you need and you can even camp on-site should you wish to fish on late into the night or get up with the larks in the morning.

Sea Fishing at Poppit Sands
If you’ve never tried sea fishing then now’s the time! Down at Poppit Sands you can put your wellies on and venture out into the sea in an attempt to catch mullet, flounder and cod all year round; or sea trout and salmon between March and October. As you’re out at sea it’s worth remembering that the tide can change quickly and here it can come in very quickly indeed so make sure you’re aware of when it’s time to call it a day and to pack up and head back to shore!

Sea Angling in Dale
Fishing at sea, as you might expect, is a completely different challenge to fishing on a river or lake. Depending on the time of year the types of fish that you could catch varies and the weather conditions can make it a fantastic experience. Sea angling from Dale is a great way of getting into this form of the sport and there are 2 or 4-hour trips available for both beginners and novice sea anglers. You’ll be helped by experienced guides and you could catch cod, wrasse, mackerel or herring. It’s also a great chance to work on your suntan!

River Fishing at Nevern Bridge
Part of the fun of river fishing is being in a beautiful location away from the noise of the traffic so you can relax on the riverbank and enjoy a day’s fishing. Down at Nevern Bridge you have the opportunity to do just that, with plenty of great spots for visitors to try with good rates available from the Nevern Angling Society. Sea trout start to make their way into the river from May and salmon are present between August and the end of the season in October.

Sea Fishing at Newport Sands
Newport Sands beach is one of the most beautiful in the whole country – and that’s saying something! With gorgeous sandy beaches it’s often hard to tear yourself away on a sunny day, but when sea fishing is the alternative it’s a good option to have! If you know what you’re doing and are an experienced sea angler then you can venture out on a rented boat or as far as you’re comfortable in your waders. If you do decide to head out on a boat, and this is the best option by far, then you have the chance to land mysterious creatures like rays when the water is choppy.
