South West Devon Fish Report

[Yaskalos]

Hi All

 

Spent some time in my local tackle shop this morning getting all the latest local gossip and summer has arrived in this part of the world.

 

In the past week some good thornbacks have been taken from both the Tamar and the Yealm rivers. (Most on Prawn)

 

Plaice are now showing frequently from shallow water rock marks onto sand all the way along the South Devon coast, biggest reported in the last week is 3-12 (shore).

 

Mullet are in the sound biggest reported just over 3lb.

 

Pollock have moved onto the inshore reefs - 12lb, these will be closely followed by Bass.

 

Sandeels are shoaling on some of the SE Cornwall beaches.

 

Also reports of Huss and Small-Eyed's from the Yealm - Mothecombe area.

 

Will be getting her belly wet again tomorrow!
