I went sightseeing there yesterday, is it worth fishing from the end of the harbour wall, past the tower?

is it worth fishing from the end of the harbour wall,

Don't know about that Cap'n but the Fish & Chips are nice.Well worth the wait.

Mr fish heralds from that neck of the woods...when he gets his drunken skittled backside out of bed he might offer you some wisdom.

possibly some of the best fish n chips in the country

assume its the one overlooking the car park / beach right on the front??

also, theres a cracking restaurant just as you start going up into the village from the stone pier( lynmouth)
best whitebait ive eaten, and possibly one of the fkin hottest chillie con carnes ive ever had the misfortune to have shat back out again several hrs later, sure it took that many layers of skin off me ring, i was left gaping for a few weeks till it re grew

Chips were, indeed, excellent.

 

[tdxs133pm]

Chips were

The fish weren't bad either.

Yes, it’s called the Rhenish Tower. Cast about 25/30 degrees to the right off the front. High tide spot obviously.

Throws up various in season. Codling, whiting, bass, huss, doggies etc.

And it’s Lynton ?

 

[Mr Fish]

Snaggy if you miss the cleaner spots though

 

[tdxs133pm]

And it’s Lynton

 

[cap'nhaddock]

Strange that the signs were to Lynmouth, the signs for Lynton were pointing up the hill, didn't even consider fishing from up there.

Was only agreeing with Mr Fish as to the spelling of Lynton.Not as in your title Linton.

Yep.

 

[Mr Fish]

Yep.

Found it expensive and small portions myself.

And the burgers weren’t great…

 

[Bluemicky]

Rip off merchants chip shop but you can fish there ok..also in the car park into the old paddling pool. Both easy but not prime marks i.m.o

Agree about the chippy! Far better locally for price and portions imo.
The one at Lynton isn’t bad.

Also agree re the marks. They throw up a few fish here and there, easy access, can produce the odd decent one, but I wouldn’t be rushing to make a special trip to fish them.

It must have been a bad day.We got plenty and the price wasn't bad.

 

[Mr Fish]

Tried it a couple of times, wasn’t overly impressed.
Maybe we have different standards!

 

[tdxs133pm]

Why go back a second time.Were you starving????

 

[Mr Fish]

Why go back a second time.Were you starving????

The visits were many years apart and coincided with being there when takeaway was needed ??‍

Aside from Lynton, the next nearest chippy to that is a long way away!

Yep.I gathered that whilst I was there.
