ive had some lovely size keepers from both the knab and west pier last year hopefully ill get the same this year, id like to try any other marks as you tend to get bored of going to the same marks and meeting same numptys that keep crosslineing you winking

any suggestions would be usefull

Aberavon is well worth a try always good for whiting plus the odd codling winking

I always tend to find the Whiting are usually around at Oxwich too.
Always good for a change of scenery, and if you go further up towards the point as the High tide approaches, you can get them up to around a pound or so.
Just need to be pretty fit, as the walk is a killer.
