Shaldon and Teignmouth are great Bass venues; schoolies abound in the channel fished 1 hour either side of low water, larger ones are seen too.Parking friendly also, at both venues.
Tips for Shaldon - use the car park serving the Ness pub reasonable car parking charges and free after 18:00, a bit of a slope from the car park to the waters edge but not too bad. Try to fish in front of pink railway hut
Tips for Teignmouth - use the car park car park right on the waters edge, reasonable car parking charges and free after 18:00.Ideal for the less able angler as only a short levelish stroll from the car park, fish the end of the spit.
Also anglers can be seen on the beach or rocks either side, but I have very little info on these areas.
Live sandeel available from Wrigglers shack, on the Teignmouth side. Reasonable price for a load of eels.
Likely Species
Bass,Gar, Mackerel.
Chance of catching
Bass are the targeted species
Best Baits
Live Sandeel, or white artificial eels,
Rigs
1metre trace with a small weight, cast across into the gulley up river when tide going out, to sea when tide coming in to maximise time in water.
Dangers
Lots of people fish here in the summer so it is often crowded, a lot of people wear waders to gain extra casting length, from the Shaldon side there is a ledge so if you do wade in be careful. .
Directions
Both locations are easy to find, head for the Ness for Shaldon or the left hand of the sae at Teignmouth.
