You can fish off the rocks just to the south of the gully, or on the north side (to the right of the post) or just to the left of it. I've fished to the left & right with about equal results but would say I tend to fish the left more on bigger tides - you can then see where there's a sort of horseshoe-shape to the rocks & kelp at your feet, which makes it easier getting fish in through all the kelp. The right hand side's possibly a little cleaner & the gully certainly helps when landing bigger fish as you can drag them up onto the flat rocks quite easily.
Sometime's it's worth clipping one down & braying it as far as you can, especially when fishing in daylight, but I've had fish everywhere from about 40 yds out.

Crab would be my first choice Peter; I think bluey etc works better on a winter's night - but I never fish St Mary's without a good stash of mussel as well. A ball of crab & mussel takes some beating, or mussel with maybe a ragworm bound in. It's worth keeping baits on the smaller side (no donkey-chokers!) as you can also pick up wrasse (may be a little early yet) & pouts, with the chance of pollack too.
