It seemed to fish quite well around Whitsun last year, saw a few bass and a plaice caught there (typically I didn't have any bait at the time so couldn't get out!). I've seen someone fishing Burgh Island from the rocks west of the staff car park area, I've always wondered if fishing there is allowed as it looks a promising spot but never really see anyone fish it. I also spoke to a guy who was fishing just to the Challaborough side of the holiday appartments at the Bigbury side of the causeway who reckoned there was good bass fishing there and also claimed to have caught hundreds of bass in the Avon estuary the previous year (you decide) although I know the estuary is supposed to fish well for bass and mullet as well as sea trout and flatties. When will you be there? I'll be down the first week in June.
