Mixed Fortunes

By Tom Sheffield On March 29, 2017 · 2 Comments · In Reports, South Devon
Over the past couple of weeks the fishing has remained pretty hit or miss in the South Devon area. The weather has warmed up which has made things feel more pleasant to be out in. The catch rates haven’t warmed up a lot though. Last time I reported on how scratching techniques seemed to be [...]

Scratching in the surf

By Tom Sheffield On March 15, 2017 · 2 Comments · In Reports, South Devon
Now certainly is the time of year when the fishing around South Devon can be particularly tough. The whiting have all but gone leaving the main targets relatively small, not easy to find and you simply have to put the hours in to get great results. This is not exactly an inspiring time for the [...]

Whiting Wonderland

By Tom Sheffield On February 16, 2017 · Add Comment · In Reports, South Devon
My fishing trips have been rather one dimensional through January. Following a successful trip first out finally locating a few winter flounder I decided to head out to the open coast for much of the month in search of dabs. These little flatfish have become scarce in South Devon in recent years. A few decent [...]

Finally Flounder

By Tom Sheffield On January 11, 2017 · 1 Comment · In Reports, South Devon
Long time no post! Apologies for the lack of reports leading up to the New Year. My first little one was born just before Christmas so becoming a new dad has taken up a lot of my time. I’m back out fishing again now and here are some reports from sessions before Christmas and the [...]

Whiting Everywhere

By Tom Sheffield On December 9, 2016 · 1 Comment · In Reports, South Devon
Journeying around the South Devon coastline visiting different venues, the fishing has become pretty tough in the past couple of weeks, typical of this time of year. The weather certainly hasn’t helped matters. East winds have buffeted the coast for nearly two weeks, not a friendly wind direction for most of the open coastline in [...]

It’s time for Flounder

By Tom Sheffield On November 24, 2016 · 1 Comment · In Reports, South Devon
In South Devon the first frosty days of Autumn stir many anglers minds towards digging out the light rods and making their way down to one of the local estuaries in search of a big flounder. The British record flounder was caught in the River Teign in the 1990s, a monster of 5lb 7oz. Each [...]

By Gareth Hopkins On March 1, 2016 · Add Comment · In Reports, South Devon
  Well it’s been a hard few weeks with rain and gale force winds making a lot of marks unfishable. On the occasions I have been out this month it’s been pretty poor to say the least, the Torbay area is still producing lots of whiting and dogfish but if you head over too Hopes nose [...]
