Can anyone recommend a good spot for beach fishing in the Exmouth/nearby area? Some advice on likely fish to be caught and with which bait would be helpful too. Haven't been fishing seriously for some years now, and most of my experience was as a coarse angler so I'm feeling like a beginner again! Cheers!

Welcome aboard dadooronron

I haven't fished Exmouth before but I do have a load of info for Torbay if that's any use to you (see sig below).

We also have a meet in 3 weeks at Brixham Breakwater. Loads from here are coming by the looks of it so if you want a lot of advice and tips you should try and come along. Full details on this thread

[dadooronron]

No luck for me on Wednesday using plugs and spinners. Did anybody else have much success? There were lots of hopefuls like me trying!
