Hi Everyone,

Like most of land locked midlanders I'll be heading to the coast over the next two weeks and would like to find out where is the best place to fish in and around exmouth, devon.

Any info relating to where and what fish are about would be greatley appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil

Its quiet at the moment , bit early for bass and mackerel and there don't seem to be any flatties showing. Just bring some gear and pop in the local tackle shop he will sort you out.

Oh i forgot to add if you happen to be staying at Sandy Bay fish the beach there or see if you can get on the headland adjacent.

You could have a look at this Exmouth and see if that helps you at all!!

I haven't fished there for 12 months (almost) but it can produce good fish if you work hard.

There is also a KFC (chicken shop) which is soul food for me LOL

Thanks everyone,

I did a little fishing off the outer ? habour wall (behing the 'Sea Fish' shop) where the camper vans stay overnight.

Caught a few small pollock and quite a few Wrasse, the largest being about 2 1/2 lb. A lot of people were casting way out off there but I didn't see anyone bring anything in. Fishing off the side seemed much more productive. I'm easily please,d to catch anything keeps me happy.

I'm back down there in a few weeks hoping to get some Mackeral, Is Budleigh Salterton OK for Mackeral ???

Thanks,
Phil

Budleigh should be ok for macky in the evenings but like anywhere round here it can be hit or miss.

please and thank you

IMO mate the beach there is awful. I've fished it a fair few times and caught naff all, haven't even had a bite. Having said that at low water there is a big rocky/reef area that juts out into the main tide flow which does look really fishy, I only discovered it last time I went so I might not write the place off completely yet.

sorry missed this post before , if helps the outside of docks always fishes well if you fish lihght and down the edge for the wrase, pollock , mullet , gar makkie etc

few makkie started to show from budliegh, can be a nightmare with tinsel flingers here in summer, pollock.pout.doggies,gurnard (ray and smoothies occasionally) can also be caught here

sandybay beach can fish well for flatties and bass but usually too many people or weed

Hi,

From what I've been told the best spot at budleigh is near to the rocks (bottom of town end of beach) generally it's much easier to park at the opposite end of the beach. I presuming the mackie come in all along the beach or is there any truth in the best mark being at the bottom of the town end ?

I only used to fish two marks there. One down by the river. A large reef runs out to see from the far bank. The other was the other end of the beach, near the last few beach huts.

Good luck!!
