Hi
I'm a newbie having rediscovered spearfishing after a break of 35 years!!last time was with a bamboo pole and loads of rubber bands knotted together.! Went in heybrook bay last night .not a fish to be seen but then realised why. Spent the next 2 hours flirting with a Seal. fantastic. so where were all these bass etc. theres nothing round plymouth. Off to salcombe at the weekend might have a dip and see.

Funny you should say that as I did try to squeeze into my 25 year old 9mm winsurfing steamer but Its bloody wel shrunk in the cupboard.
My son races dinghies and while at weymouth found Pottland oceaneering who sold me a lovely Cressi suit. Struggled a bit till I discovered the hair conditioner/water mix trick now it slips in easily.!!!!

OOPs maybe I'll just look! thanks for that. Is it just the estuary or outside as well ie starhole bay or the mew stone off the head.
Also any other spots to avoid? I know about the proposed no take zone at wembury but not legal yet and that looe island is also taboo. I'm assuming wrecks are also out

Just estuary at salcombe. Looe is a voluntary conservations area so can be fished. Most estuaries around UK are designated nurseries for bass, I think someone posted a link in a previous thread so try a search.

Basically if you're at Salcombe, go to South Sands beach and swim towards open sea past splat cove. From this point onwards you can catch bass. The line passes from Limebury point to Splat point. Also, current UK record Gilthead Bream was caught in Salcombe although not sure exactly where......
