Beaches/piers near Newquay, Cornwall

[RossW]

Have found myself in Truro with a rod and nowt to do in the evenings. Can anyone offer any advice about clean ground marks in this area that will be fishing well at night this time of year. Obviously, I'll pop into a tackle shop too and ask, but any knowledge would be much appreciated. Cheers in advance.

Porthcurno beach on the way to lands end
Some good size Rays, double figure bass, pollock smoothhound etc etc etc
If you can get live sandeel float fish off the rocks to left hand side of beach

Porthleven harbour for huge conger

Or head up toward bude - follow signs for tintagel & fish trebarwith Iv had big bass from there or walk down to bossiney for good fish

The list goes on and on

There are quite a few clean beaches just south of you at swanpool. Rays and bass and loads of doggies. There are also some very good rock marks round the helford river mouth just east of Helston. Bass galore round there mate. I've just come back from lizard and had plenty good fishing sessions that way.

Worth the drive if it's still bright & sunny & calm sea
I'd def head to bossiney long walk down coastal path even worse coming back up but when you see the size of some of them pollock you'll agree it's worth the walk

Fish it bout 3 hours after low water once the bay fills up & usually doesn't need a big cast as most the fish just patrol the edges of the rocks
