Fishing Jersey

Details

Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, offers a diverse and exciting fishing experience for anglers of all levels. The island's unique geography, with its significant tidal range (one of the largest in the world), creates a rich marine environment teeming with a variety of fish species. Whether you prefer casting from the shore, exploring rocky outcrops, or venturing offshore on a charter boat, Jersey provides ample opportunities for a rewarding day of fishing. Popular catches include bass, bream, conger eels, tope, pollack, and various rays, with specific seasons influencing the abundance of different species.

Numerous fishing charters operate from Jersey, catering to both novice and experienced anglers. These charters often provide all necessary equipment, bait, and expert guidance to help you make the most of your trip. For those who prefer to fish independently, tackle shops are available to supply gear and local advice. It's important for all anglers to be aware of and adhere to local fishing regulations, including minimum size limits for various species and specific rules for certain areas, such as the No Take Zone in Portelet Bay. Seasonal restrictions also apply to certain species, like ormers.
