your just a bit out lads, climb over the wall at the top and climb down to the rocks at the bottom, look to your left and thats where they are. there's not much left of them now but you can see a metal pole or somethink sticking out he water.

is everyone still up for a wrassing trip on saturday?
the only problem is that i thinks that all this cold weather might have all the wrasse go elsewhere, so how about somewhere where we are able to catch other things such as flounder cos i reckon that they would have come back in during the cold snap.
according simon torbayfishing's site, you can pick up some flounder at elberry cove, aswell as wrasse: "Elberry Cove, Broadsands, Paignton - By Simon Day
This location is favored by many for bottom fish like flounder and also spinning for Bass." any other thoughts/ideas appreciated.
also thought of hope's nose, i have been meaning to get down there for ages cos i have not fished it in the winter before, only in the summer.

wrasse and bass trip down hope's nose this saturday,if all goes well, all those who want to tag along are welcome!!!

I took a few pics but didnt realise that simon had some on his site but I'll stick them in anyway.
This is the beach looking back from the pitch and put.

A few of the rocky outcrops I think Chubb my well be talking about.


Try and steer clear of this area cos in the summer months all your get here is speed boats and water skiers.


Another interesting spot is a place called DEVILS ARMCHAIR, thats the big rock in the centre of the picture, the beach behind is Salturn cove and Goodrington.Access to devils armchair is through the Waterside caravan park.Nobody checks who you are so parking is normally ok.

Devils armchair, now there's a blast from the past, we used to jump off that as kids in the early 80s. Kids these days, they think they invented tombstoning. We also fished from the top of Devils armchair in 1984, didn't catch anything using rag worm. However, some very large mullet frequent that little cove.

try long quarry in torquay,, the walk down is not for the faint hearted.... once down on the flat walk half way along towards the right , look along the edge of the rocks at low water you will see a large crevice in the rock face, this is covered at high water, had wrasse there to 5lb 8oz,, or carry on to the end on the right hand side a flat ledge cast back into the left hand side,,,,, BIG wrasse country.. the smaller ones up to 2lb give small rattles then pull the tip down,, the big ones yank the rods right over.. all on hardbacks ledgered in tight to the rock face........ hope this helps
