Challaborough Bay / Bigbury-on-Sea

[Pross]

I've just bought a mobile home in Challaborough Bay, S Devon. Can anyone give me some advice on good marks nearby and what species to target? The site I'm on has it's own angling club so I should get some advice when I start going regularly but if anyone can give me their thoughts before then I can get some rigs made up before my first trip next month. Should also get to try some boat fishing for the first time when I get down there.

hi pross go to http://www.solent-fishing-guide.co.uk go to beach then rigs you will find just about every rig you can think of hope this helps.

do you want to fish the beach or rocks?

[Pross]

Rocks probably, tried from the beach in Ilfracombe for the first time last week and got fed up of clearing bloody weed of my line and bait!

hi mate

been there bout 6 times on holiday till haven sold up then i did not like it so never went back since new ppl tookit over as you come out of the carpark by the club house look to your right past the stream that runs down the beach go to far rock cast 15 feet from the rock face use peeler crab or ragworm watch out for the divers that pop up from behind a rock

go about 7 ~8 :00 when its quieter there a good bloke on berr island hes the one to the left of the pub with lobster and crab pots he good bloke for advise

im jelous of you what a great place for a moblie home
