Drive down to Trevone bay,about 2 miles outside Padstow,on the Newquay road, park up ( got to pay, but thats normal these days). Take the coast path around the right hand side of the bay as you look out to sea... at the end of the coast path,where it turns right there is a large outcrop of rocks, called Madrips, with a few very easy ledges to get to and fish off..you can feather for Mackies, or floatfish close in for Pollack,or Bass,or bottom fish for Ray, or Bass.
Its about a five minute walk from the car park.
Failing that,you can fish off Padstow outer Harbour wall if the tide is in, once you have got a free permit from the harbour office. You can catch Mackies and Garfish when floatfishing small strips of Mackerel or squid. Bottom fishing, there is a chance of Flounder, or Mullet.
Or, park in Padstow, take the coast path out of town heading up the estuary, toward St Petrocs well,after about five mins, you will see a path down to the right,leading to the low tide ferry landing, there are some easy access rock marks down there to the right of the steps that you can float fish or spin off for Mackies and Gars. Only really fishable when there is some water in the estuary,i.e, on a rising tide or when ebbing from high tide, time it right you can easily get 4 hours or more.I like it there myself,easy access, close to town.
