Low Newton
A great sheltered winter venue for the shore angler, even better as a launch site for kayakers in the summer. Park in the carpark at the top of the hill and trolley down to the beach….
You can see Dunstonburgh Castle in the distance in the picture above. this is the best bet for a [...]
Beadnel
A decent shot from the shore during the winter months. Marks Like Beadnel point, Knacker hole, and Pattersons Gully are all trusted favorites and seldom fail to thow out a fish or two when the condtitions are right.
There’s a boat launch on the beach with a tractor provided by the local council, at [...]
Dub Mill Point, Allonby
Plaice, Flounder, Bass…..infact almost anything can turn up here. The tides can run a bit strong on springs for kayaking but with a bit of knowledge it can be done.
The shingle bank at the top of the beach fishes well for codlings and Whiting from the shore on a blow during winter.
A [...]
Fast Castle Head
One of the most inhospitable pieces of coast line in SE Scotland. You can fish the mark from the shore by walking from Dowlaw farm but to unlock it’s true potential you need to hit it with your kayak. launch from Petticowick bay at St Abbs and head North for some truly outstanding [...]
A good launch site is Mamhead Slip (SX994806), a public slipway at the dock end of Exmouth seafront by The Beach pub. There is easy pay and display parking on the dock itself and The Beach does excellent food and a decent pint of Otter.
The slipway is concrete and usable at all but the lowest [...]
This one could be a rather difficult launch but also should be well worth the effort for anyone fit enough to deal with the 400 yard decent down a track to the new slipway.
Parking will be at the top of the village bank in a council car park chargeable by the hour. Parking places can [...]
Being in the thick of the tourist season I wanted to get away from the maddening crowds, it really does get hard work negotiating through the crowds of grekels and the stock questions “do you catch anything on these?” “are they safe?” etc etc, and you have to run the gaunlet of Daz and Bethany [...]
Loe Beach, Feock, nr Truro
Loe Beach, Feock, nr Truro (not to be confused with Loe Bar – NOT SUITABLE). Costs about £2 to park and another £1 to launch, but right out into Carrick Roads with a 20 m carry. Gets very busy in summer, but a great option for evening fishing (and normally free [...]
The slipway at South Landing gives access to the whole of Bridlington Bay. Access is again using the CTug as parking is prohibited around the slipway which is the run in area for the Flamborough head lifeboat. The decent is quite steep and should only be undertaken by those fit enough to deal with the [...]
Access to the beach at boggle hole should be fairly easy via the track near the Youth Hostel. However you should not take your car any further than the car park roughly half to 3/4 of a mile from the beach as it is all but impossible to turn around on the track and [...]
