North Pier Newlyn

[Indiafish]

Just an update following my request for information about fishing from North Pier Newlyn.
Yes you can fish from the pier, there is a sign that asks people to get a permit from the office but the local fioshing shop says dont bother?
I fished it from 2hrs before HT to 2 hrs after, blanked but saw a great sunrise over St Michaels Mount, found lots of possible places around Mousehole I also investigated Perranuthnoe beach while there and will try it next time.
I intend to break my blank this year!!!

Perranuthnoe is a great little beach for bass . im surprised at Newlyn not throwing anything up , even a mackerel or pollack !
thanks for the extra info - it might save me coughing up next time i'm down

Bad luck on your blank. Lamorna Cove might also have been worth a try. I use to take a lot of Pollack from there with my old man when I was a kid. I was brought up a mile away from Perranuthnoe but it was never a favourite of my old mans for fishing so I cant really advise on how it fishes although I know it has a reputation amongst the seasoned anglers for bass if you are patient. I spent three consequitive dawns and dusks last summer spinning the entire length of the beach using a dexter wedge and blanked but it's a great little beach to be up to your knees in water flicking out a lure. Plenty of free locals baits available too in the form of launce, and limpet and peelers from the rock pools to the East.
