Hi All,

I'm off to Exmouth this weeend for a bit of Bank Hol fishing. We'll be doing some boat and some beach/rock.

Can anyne advise on some good spots, and what is biting down there at the moment? We're particularly interested inteh Bass - who isn't!

Thanks

Rich

Hi mate, I used to live in Exmouth. Best skipper was Mike Baker, don't know whether he is still going though.
Also I used to fish with lures at low water alongside the slipway and hook some decent bass - start about 1/2 hour before LW then fish the rise for a couple of hours by casting straight across the main channel.

Thanks Mate,

I'll give it a go. We've gto a mates boat for weekend - do you know where to target the Bass out at sea? Any tell tale signs to look for (particular depths etc?)

Thanks Rich

You have to know your wrecks which is why Mike Baker was so good; he knew every wreck worth fishing within 25 miles of Exmouth. You should be able to find them marked on your charts and after 10 years away, I can't remember them but do recall one which was between 4 and 6 miles south of Sidmouth which was particularly good for Bass.
