One of the most talked about fishing marks in West Cornwall and one I have fished a few times and intend kayak fishing next season.
This is the location of the renowned Minack Theatre, carved from the granite!
If you park in the beach car park and head out on the cliff path you will see a few areas that can be fished from. The mark at the far end seems to go into deeper water and produces the best mackerel fishing. All the other marks can produce a whole range of species including, Pollock, Wrasse, Turbot, Gurnard and Bass.
I have found the mid section to produce more Bass for some reason.

There are some really nice mackerel around at the moment. You should try and get one on a fly rod for some real sport.
Taking the lure in the dark just showes what fantastic predators they are, glad I am not a Sand eel!!!!

The bigger mackerel are in at the moment their.It was a fish a cast well into the dark while spinning. I tried a starlight above the bait,it seemed to make no difference with my catch rate with or without the starlight,which proves how well mackerel/pollock can see in deep water in the dark with no moon.
