Hi tdss and welcome. From what I have read praa sands is a good spot to fish. The far left seems to be the best spot. I'm sure some of the Penzance lads will be able to give you the advice you need.

tdss - i assume have a car? praa sands is good - the hendra end being better i believe. u also have rinsey close by, beach and rock fishing here is ok - beach needs a good swell tho for the rocks, plenty of good size wrasse/pollock about, follow the coast path from the n.trust car park down and to the left ( past the old mine house) and u want to go down on the RH side of the headland - there is a path there so easy to find it.

pop into newtown angling centre - the guy there is friendly and will help u.
as for casting go for the same distance as the first breaking wave all depends what ur after i suppose, if going for wrasse and pollock at rinsey just plop it in a few meters and that fine, it goes very deep there so even under your feet is good.

there is a post in the SW forum and it mentions a lot of places to go and the rigs to use.
