Try www.3ws.co.uk it has a list of all bait and tackle shops in Cornwall. Also try www.cornwallonline.co.uk/waterside/fishing.htm it should tell you other info on trips etc.
Have a great time. Tight lines, Ruth winking

Hi again mate,I try to give info on the venues i fish,i also let people know what`s happening when I`m not there but still give info big grin

It`s sad

when you get nothing in return!
Hope you do okay,as for clicky,the genuine guys on this site will let you know.Maybe we should post the questions and reply via pm,it would save the visitors getting info with no input and the boats(potters,longliners and trawlers)knowing what`s happening
Just my opinion,I`d pay monthly for the confidentiality!!!!!!!

Only been to polperro once. Fished in the evening in Polperro. Caught Scad spinning and an eel to bait. This website has a review http://www.fishingmarks.co.uk, but you'll have to register. Some locals recommended a few local rock marks. Had to go to the pub for 'research', you could always try that! big grin

Seems unfair... I dont normally see reports from polperro anyway, infact I dont think we have had one topic on polperro in 5 years.
Many members here will jump to help you when they can.

HI ya waverider14 , I've not fished that area myself but I have been visiting Looe on several occasions and have seen some nice Plaice caught from Banjo Pier. Sorry for not being more informitive but not fished anywhere much for last 15-20 years, closet I ever got to Polperro was Mevagissy, We used to spin for Mackeral from Harbour wall.

Hi
firstly sorry to Mrix didnt mean it to be unfair its like you said people normally fall over backwards to help you on here but i didnt get any replies thought it was me!!!
I managed to fish once while i was down there and caught my first wrasse to crab (hardback)
and some mackerel to a lure (spinning minnow)
so not all bad
I would recommend Polperro to anyone its awsome
Thanks guys/girls.

Had a holiday at Taland bay 8 years ago and caught a lot of small pollack up to a pound on Tobys and flies at high tide, casting across from the rocks on the left of the bay. Evening best. Also, if you walk about a mile towards Fowey from Talland and take a steep walk down the path from the coast path near a monument (you will find the path if you walk and look for it) There are some interesting rocks and gullies. Best to explore at low tide first. Caught garfish and pollack there on float, saw decent bass in gullies at high tide.
