Angling Centre Guide to:
Rock
Fishing
in The south Hams

Start
point,
The first note must be that extreme rock fishing
can be dangerous. To fish at Start Point you must
be aware of the dangers of climbing and walking
the coastal rocks and the extreme currents and wave
conditions which can change in a matter of seconds.
Never the less, those who venture there often reap
the largest and greater numbers of fish expected
from a boating expedition. Bull huss, Bass, Pollack
are the most hunted fish. Parking is relatively
inexpensive at the car park at the top of the hill,
but it is a long walk down and seems an even longer
walk back, especially with a bag full of big fish.
Baits: most fish baits are fine. worm may not perform
quite so well in these deeper areas. During the
summer months live sand eel is a must during day
light hours and squid will produce good catches
at night. Heavier tackle is recommended at these
marks, an uptide rod with a sturdy multiplier would
be ideal.

Portlemouth
The rock formations of the East side of the Kingsbridge
estuary mouth are less hazardous than those of the
imposing start point, prawle point and Bolt head.
There are many flat rock bed formations that create
comfortable fishing platforms for the less extreme
enthusiast. The best parking is at the Mill Bay
car park with reasonable charges, although often
it will not be manned and free. The fishing here,
well, plaice are around most of the time, with bass
in plentiful supply in the warmer months. Mackerel
may plague the fishing on warm calm evenings and
spoil the fun. Either way, it is an idyllic way
to spend a few hours.Bait: good quality rag worm,
(not boxed) squid, peeler crab and lugworm. Tackle:
keep it reasonably light unless you are targeting
the larger species such as ray and conger. A
good quality bass rod and multiplier reel with a
fine non stretch line. Any good quality fishing
tackle is ideal for most situations.

Bolt
Head
As extreme as Start Point and climbing equipment
is a must. There is a car park, but inevitably a
walk and climb will follow. This however, unlike
Start point can produce good plaice from mid spring
to the end of summer.Bait: good quality rag worm,
(not boxed) squid, peeler crab and lugworm. Tackle:
Uptiders here are ideal as casting can often be
inhibited by over hanging rocks. If you are targeting
the larger species such as ray and conger heavier
tackle and larger hooks are advised. A
good quality bass rod and multiplier reel with a
fine non stretch line. Any good quality fishing
tackle is ideal for most situations.
Prawle Point
Here there are some interesting flat rock formations,
which can fish into very deep water with catches
similar to Start point. Here the walk to the car
park is not so testing. During the summer months,
float fishing or spinning in to the deep water can
be very relaxing with surprising catches. At night
the bull huss patrol the deep dark gullies.
