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 [...]

Coming just a few days after telling everyone about Paul’s new blog on SWSF, I have another exciting development to share – well, I think it’s rather exciting, anyway.

Tom, from The Tackle and Bait Shop , St Budeaux, Plymouth, has kindly offered to share his Monthly Fishing Report with SWSF. In his ‘Tales of the Tamar’, Tom shares with us the latest developments on the Plymouth sea angling scene – all, of course, with his usual style and panache.

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 [...]

Fishing Plymouth Foreshore

To say that today’s fishing session was a peculiar one would be a complete understatement. First off, looking at the forecast yesterday I didn’t think I’d get out at all – ‘they’ said rain all day and only 7 degrees. I like my fishing, but not that much.

I awoke to a blue sky (through the window, that is - I hadn’t just passed o [...]

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 [...]
