Deffo big rods.
Come down the dunes off the haven site onto beach, turn right.
Walk upto headland running out to sea(Penhale army camp), and fish along that end by the rocks, incoming tide from low.
1 hook paternoster with sandeel, nothing else.(60ish yards out)
Spinning not great, maybe odd schoolie. Bigger and most Bass come off sandeel.
I lived in cornwall for 5 years and had caravan on perran sands, fished this beach 4 times a week for 4 years.
Surfers can be everywhere, but they tend to stay away from here cause of the rocks.
WARNING: This end of beach is the naturist end, might have to shut your eyes every now and then.
