Good spot that DJD.....should still be some bass around and hopefully a unicorn soon(y)(y)(y)
That tide run around the point is impressive on a spring. You should also have a look at the north side, by that I mean the knuckles, middlehope and the MOD especially

I'm down to Porthilly for a couple of weeks in he first half of November. Luckily I can fish the estuary if its rough, or Daymer /Greenaway if not too bad. I've had good days at lundy bay too ... but it is exposed ....
Just to say...particularly on the Bristol channel LW (note: no guarantees) can be so much better, because of the tidal range all fish retreat to the deeper channels that may be reachable over LW. Once the flood is under way same number of fish spread out over thousands of acres.
As has been...
Biggly squid or mackerel fillet/joey into dark...I used to fish Barafundle bay (stackpole quay, not too far away) into dark for some lovely bass, amongst other things but freelined bait into dark is a fab way to fish, and you'll be surprised how close in good fish will come, enjoy!!
Just my view but fresh peeler for bass, fresh or frozen for codling. Looking at that ground I'd be happy with peeler and lug..... even a whole squid for the larger fish(y)

PS and although I tried I never caught a tope....... having been a Clive Gammon disciple in the late 70's
If I was fishing Bristol channel for rays I'm happy with 35 - 40 mins but I'd wrap a fish fillet (mackerel/bluey) in squid ...in the hope the scent trail lasts a little longer. If walking back then a much larger bait and up to an hour.

JR Apologies but I can't make this weekend - I've just been reminded that it's my lads 30th and I'm playing golf and then on for a session......his choice not mine you understand!!

I was there yesterday Bud, and I spoke to a guy who fished on Sunday and mentioned that someone had a couple of keepers just to the right of the slipway.... must've been your dad. That then fished a bit further to the right but had nothing.
Have a chat to Century, they've always been very good...
Oh and today I noticed the entrance to the Aust road nearest to to the M4 roundabout appears open so Aust maybe fishable... I'm sorry I didn't go down to check ..... but could be fishable(y)
Well still trying to get back into this after my 2 weeks in Cornwall. I had 1 1/2lb of lovely large lug and some peelers from my own efforts and the lovely Ed Schliffke to come home with.
With the tides and limited time, I wanted to fish New Passage, on the very corner before the little shingle...
Hi apologies matey but I don't normally fish that far up, I thought there was some problems encountered with the work and it was to take longer......... but I cant help sorry.
I had heard there were some nice catches at Littleton though and that is fishable...

In the upper channel there are many stories of 'fluffed' casts that suddenly have a good fish on.......but do I ever lob one close in.... hmmm, maybe when I'm after sole but not as a general rule....:rolleyes:
Cheers all,

PS JR you flatter me:)
That's one thing the Tanks taught me ..... get out on the mud (but be very, very careful) fish run through there in very shallow water.... but trust me that mud is dangerous - take no chances, take a stick/staff and keep moving!!
The codling are after the shrimp so as soon as there is enough...
There will always be some good eels there at this time of year .... I lost my PB grinner a few years back, great fight and when it surfaced it was 25-30lb, then it started spinning and the 50lb leader parted. Probably best as I wouldn't have wanted that beast on the ledge with me:oops:
