Yes folks, yesterday I actually managed to get some fishing done!

Newquay headland - 28/04/2008

The weather forecast was half-decent, I had some 'free' time and I had some bait (a cunning 'family' outing to the beach on Saturday made sure of that) so off I went to Newquay headland.

I fished a mark called Leonard's Rock hoping for an early Turbot (or anything, really). Got there at 7am and High Tide would be about 11am.

As my target [...]

Fishing East Portlemouth

Finally, we’ve got that long awaited break in the bad weather and I’ve been able to get out and do a spot of shore fishing. And with a forecast of sunshine and light westerly’s it seemed the perfect opportunity to venture further afield without much risk of being rained off.

After hearing many favourable reports about East Portlemouth, South Devon recently [...]

If You Wanna be a Record Breaker...

Last month, Mike Johnson of Paignton SAA caused quite a stir among Westcountry sea anglers by breaking a British Shore Angling Record with his 22lb 12oz Thornback Ray landed from the beach at East Portlemouth.

Now, like many of my fellow anglers, I read [...]

Fishing Mount Batten Breakwater, Plymstock

nath@southwestseafishing.co.uk — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:00:00 +0100

I was looking at heading deeper into Cornwall for this session, but with the weather being so hit and miss recently - and flitting from sunshine to rain quicker than I can switch rigs - instead I decided to fish closer to home and revisit Mount Batten Breakwater, Plymstock.

A strong westerly isn’t ideal for fishing this particular breakwater since it comes right across the approaches [...]

Hopes Nose: Chasing Plaice

nath@southwestseafishing.co.uk — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 19:00:00 +0100

After the rather dismal fishing session along the Plymouth Foreshore a few days ago, I decided this time to fish Hopes Nose, Torquay, instead. I really wasn’t up for blanking twice in a row and thought Hopes Nose would be the most likely place I would see a dramatic change in fortune.

Today, I’d be fishing the tide up and then back down for an hour. With the sun out and [...]

Berry Head - Summer is Here!

Today saw the start of my summer fishing season, and what better place to kick it off than the true summer fishing hotspot of Berry Head.

'But maybe I’m still too early for the summer fishing', I tho [...]
