There’s this stretch of coastline near Abersoch—honestly, it’s ridiculous how many bass you’ll find there some days. Like, you’ll cast out and boom, they’re already on before you’ve even twitched the lure. That’s the kind of water Fresh Salt Guiding works, right along the Llyn Peninsula. And it’s not just the sea, either. You’ve got these estuary spots where the mullet go absolutely nuts over a bit of bread, and the rivers? Don’t get me started. The Welsh Dee’s private beats—proper tucked-away gems—hold some proper salmon and sea trout. Funny story, actually: last season, a client pulled out a seatrout so fat we thought it was a small salmon at first.

Oh, and pike? Yeah, they’re lurking in the slower stretches and a few of those moody Welsh lakes. Perch too, if you’re into the stripey little fighters. Honestly, it’s kinda wild how much variety you get in one area. Four main spots to pick from, depending on what’s running and the tides—I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve switched plans last minute because the bass turned up somewhere unexpected.

If you’re keen, just shoot ’em a message. Tell ’em the guy who lost that monster pike last winter sent you—tight lines, and good luck keeping the mullet off your hook!
