Shore marks

Glenn Kilpatrick who runs the runs the Whitby sea anglers website and the Whitby fishing forum has offered to write a few articles about sea fishing in the Whitby area. The first post in his series will be posted this week, I have seen it already and it’s very well written with some great pictures. [...]

The Harbour here makes a great fishing platform. The out side of the wall is into rough ground and can produce almost anything including Pollock. I would suggest float fishing this area as its full of snags if you are not prepared to loose lots of end gear. Inside the Harbour produces flounder and small [...]

Dennis head is the seaward side of a village called St Antony. Dennis head splits the Helford estuary and Gillian creek. The headland has many marks around it but the left side when looking out to sea is preferred. The water here holds good sized Bass, Mullet, Garfish, Pollock, Wrasse, Ray, Huss and Conger. This [...]

This location is located between Portreath and Hayle on the B3301, the coast road. Parking is good at this fishing mark with a large area of allocated parking.

Poldhu Cove is located between Helston and Mullion. It is a sandy cove about 100 to 150 yards across and it can be fished from the beach or there are a few rock marks. Beach casting and Plugging are both well suited to the shore mark. Bass can be taken on both methods here in [...]

Drive thought the village of Mullion, and follow the signs for Mullion Cove. You will need to park up and walk the last bit to the [...]

Again just to point people in the right direction I have covered fishing the River Hayle in that post (click the link) I am getting a lot of emails and search hits from people looking for fishing information about the river Hayle, and the local area bass scene. If you would like to add something [...]

This is the last fishing mark in the series for Chesil Beach. This fishing mark is the first mark on the beach heading from West Bay towards Portland. There is Fresh water coming onto the beach here which is something I always like and find that it can add a bit of diversity to the [...]
