Species at Cardiff Foreshore vary and include masses of whiting during the autumn/winter period, excellent cod fishing, as well as silver eels, flounder, conger ells, mullet and bass. Daylight fishing can be good but night fishing tends to be more productive with the mark being fished approx. three hours either side of high water. Use frozen mackerel for whiting, ragworm or black lug tipped with squid for most other species including cod on a paternoster rig.
