Me and the missus were having the usual summer hols wrangle last night. I had suggested Croatia but what with all the volcanic palarvar going on we've decided to stay in the Isles. i suggested Alderney for a couple of weeks but she's gone cold on that. She then said "how about mid-wales, somewhere in Cardigan bay, you could go fishing." That'll do me!:jump:

Cardigan Bay is massive, you could fit the IoM in quite neatly. Can anyone suggest a starting point? I might be able to borrow the folks' motorhome for the trip so we can get around.
I'd have to get a boat trip in, so any advice on good boat/skipper combinations would be useful too!
It'd be great to meet up with a bumbler or two as well.....

Cheers

Tim

Tim, anywhere from Fishguard, through Dinas Head up to Cardigan fishes well. My favourite areas are Aberporth up to Newquay. Around Llangrannog is awesome and a great spot for a holiday. There is a good bass guide in Newquay - Tim Harrison (www.sea-bass-safaris.co.uk) who does boat and shore trips. There are lots of marks north of Newquay to Aberaeron too so take your pick. If you come, let me know as I know a few marks I can show you. Somewhere near Cwm Tydu would be nice to base yourself. Newquay itself is mobbed in Summer and unless you like crowds of undesirables I would avoid it! Also look up Tresaith and PenBryn beaches. beautiful and never too crowded. Hope this whets your appetite! I have some photos on other threads too if you take a look.

Cheers Tim, I'd seen your photos sprinkled around and that's what had my appetite whetted already!
