Coasting the waters

With more than 50 miles of coastline ranging from wide sandy bays to rocky points swept by strong tidal flows, Jersey is an excellent place for all forms of sea angling.

Bass fishing using sandeels or artificial lures such as plugs is very popular, but night fishing for conger and offshore trips to the many wrecks and banks found in Channel Island waters are also popular.

The chief offshore species are pollack, ling, turbot, brill, tope and record-breaking porbeagle sharks.

Angling charter boats include Anna II ( or ) and Theseus II ( or ; website - tarkaseatrips.com).

Visiting anglers who bring freshwater tackle to the Island can fish for grey mullet in harbours and coves or target carp, tench, trout, bream, rudd and roach in a number of inland waters. More details about freshwater fishing can be obtained from JFS Sport () or the Fishmarket Tackle Shop ().
