Try Watermouth bay in North Devon, just re made the slip for this season I think, £9-00 per day I believe.

North devon, Stig, I get out as much as I can but with the wind this summer............! And even worse no sign of a mackeral yet this year, any better down your way?

High tide at about 1300 so we launched from the beach at about 11-30 and headed for Greater Hangman and Copperas Rock Buoy, fished on the drift with feathers and soft lures but nothing showed, we then anchored for an hour or so and got the usual mix of Pout and Doggies until my Son in law had a very...

Well, tried again for the mackeral, still not in :( but we had the most amazing experience with a school of porpoises, they deliberately followed us around playing right by the bow as we motored around, diving under one side and jumping out of the water on the other side, must have been about 6 with...

Launched from Combe Martin bay at aout 12-30 on Saturday, high tide was 15-00, the weather initially was pretty good, just moderate swells so we headed out past Hangmans towards Copperas, the new fishfinder was working really well and selected a spot of rough ground a few hundred yards from shore, s...

Once again the wind has been howling here on the North Devon coast, we drove to Combe Martin this morning more in hope than anything else as the forecast was for slight to moderate seas with a WSW of 17 knots, no chance, very broken and choppy waves, we hung around for an hour hoping the wind might ...
