Seaton is located on the eastern edge of Devon, on it south coast. Home to the mouth of the river Axe, there is good fishing for a range of species.

Mullet can be caught in the river. Generally people fish the seaward side of the last road bridge. The access is good and the fishing is easy from the quay side. Ground bait heavily and get fishing. Landing your catch can be a challenge and you need to keep an eye out for moving boats. This mark fishes well on the rising tide.

Flounder are caught the other side of the road bridge. Crab and rag are the preferred baits. Fish the tide up. This is not a renowned Flounder mark, but it does produce fish. School Bass are caught here as well, but please release any under size fish!!

Off the river mouth Bass can be caught with Plug and bait. Consider the conditions and fish the flow. This mark can be very productive for Bass. Pollock can be caught when the light levels start to fall.

The beach has produced some good fish over time. There are a few HOT spots along the beach. Use you knowledge looking for out crops of rock and possible gullies at low tide to find the areas.

Parking is good for most areas. Seaton is a small seaside town so Anglers food is easy to find. There is an angling shop. Toilets are dotted around the town.

I have added a new category for Sea fishing shore marks.

I have great knowledge of marks in Devon, Cornwall, The Isle of Man and Dorset so that’s where I will start. However when it comes to the rest of the country, I am starting to struggle.

Ramsgate, Dover, Sea Brook, Fleetwood, The Tyne, Whitby, Lowestoft are all areas I hear of but know little about so I will have to research them unless you can write them for me and have a chance of winning the £40 on offer on the fishing-blog competition.

This feature will add a great new dimension to this fishing blog and I hope it will help some of its 100 200 300 daily users.

I also plan on adding more video venue guides like this one at Loe Bar in Cornwall

The future

The focus of the blog is also turning more and more towards Sea angling and its many facets, so I feel that some of the coarse fishing and carp fishing articles will take a back seat for a while.

Kayak fishing is taking off in the UK and our users of the site seem to indulge many hours in the kayak fishing section here on the Fishing blog, so there will be a focus on bringing more information forward regarding this method of sea angling.

I have written here about the reasons for trying Kayak fishing
