tope from the rocks in cornwall

[sam-cox]

does any one know if there are any marks in cornwall where its possable to catch tope?

[sam-cox]

thought of maybe trevous point.

[sam-cox]

or pentier point. ive heard of people getting broken up by blues at these places over the years.

[fisherman]

Sam I have fished both marks and have not heard of any Tope coming from them. I could be wrong mind.

I guess there may be the rare chance of one from one of the headlands bordering a beach. AFAIK North Devon is a much better bet, Woody Bay or Baggy point are the 2 marks that spring to mind. If you're that keen then I believe the Isle of Man is worth a go, as is Alderney in the autumn when the squid & cuttlefish move in.

[sam-cox]

aint that keen, we get a fair fishery hear from the boats, just fancied a bash from the shore, will stick to a days wrassing i think.

[Toerag]

Yeah, I think tope from the shore need a lot of hours effort and local knowledge. Plus the ability to cast half a dab quite a way (although they were hooking lots in Alderney on small squid baits intended for Black bream.) There were a lot of burnt thumbs and buying of line in bulk that fortnight!

[sam-cox]

All good anglers put in lots of efort and time into their angling, its taken me half my life to establish a hand full of bass marks that fish at different states of tide and season in my area from the shore, (although this , the thornie cfishing has been verry good) and the other half lurning marks from my farthers charter boat and dingies, thats why i was asking in the vain hope that someone on hear may be a cornish shore tope fanatic.

According to the local paper Baggy point has been fishing very well for tope of late. Dillydangler told me about the report so may be worth having a chat with him.

[sam-cox]

can you catch mackeral there? i was thinking of trotting live mackeral with the tide under a balloon.
