Hello all,
I hope you can help me here.
I'm off on one of my many visits to Cornwall in a month to see some family and I was wondering if any of you here could put me on to some fishing marks. I will be staying in the St Ives area, but will be able to travel further afield.
My usual marks are Porthcurno under the Minnack theatre which I have found good for mackeral, garfish and a few small wrasse and pollock, and Mounts Bay where I have caught loads of small school bass (nowhere near sizeable) and a couple of gilthead bream. I sometimes also fish under the coastguard station (the Island) in St Ives, although I don't find this mark that good.
This year I would like to try for a better bass, and possibly fish for rays and flatties. If anyone could put me on to a realistic mark, tactic and baits for any of the above I would appreciate it.
Also I've heard Mounts Bay can be good for better size bass. I have only used lug worm there which seems to catch the schoolies instantly, are there any baits to used that might get through to a better stamp of fish??
One more question
I also fancy having a go with the plugs/spinners. Can anybody give a location where these might catch, I'm thinking Trevose or possibly Godrevy.
Any info much appreciated,
Tight Lines,
Ian
