We offer this service to not only teach novice and intermediate anglers better skills but also to show experienced anglers around the islands intriguing coastline, to teach techniques about certain species and show where fish lay on certain marks. We also teach you how to handle and care for the fish especially as so much of what we do is catch and release, however that's not say we don't take for the pot, we just take what we need.

If you are a beginner then a  shore guide is a fast track way to find out how to fish. You will be shown how to catch specific fish by using different methods, techniques and baits from various locations. This service is here too for the established angler to find out local marks, when to fish them and what too expect to catch and in some cases how to approach the marks safely. Its a far better way than a chuck it and chance it attitude.........although I can't guarantee success!! Then that's the joy of fishing isn't it?

2011 SHORE GUIDING RATES AND ROD HIRE

These are the most common packages that are asked for:

All sessions booked include rod, reel and line for each booked participant. Tripods supplied too if session requires it. Bait is supplied too.

2 HOURS FLOAT FISHING from the BREAKWATER

Other species we do encounter are Sea Trout, Rock Cooks Wrasse, Cuckoo Wrasse, Corkwing Wrasse, Golden Grey Mullet, Coalfish and Black Bream. A super session where we can just fish with a guide supervising or we can tailor to suit your needs so it becomes more informative and learning as you fish.

The following costs are based on per SESSION NOT per PERSON:

MULLET FISHING

Available all year. 4 hours £110.  8 hours £170. Maximum 4 people, some sort of fishing experience preferred but will teach novices. Top quality tackle and bait provided for these challenging fish. Shirvy groundbait supplied in with costs. Other species likely are Black Bream, Garfish, Mackerel amongst others.

BREAM FISHING

Plugs supplied but lost ones are charged for. This is one of the more exhilarating styles of angling. Once you have had your first ever 'hit' you will understand the heart stopping moments of tussling with a hooked Bass. It is without doubt one of the best parts of sea angling.

WRASSE

Available May to January. 4 hours  £100. Maximum 4 people. Need to be very quiet, stealth is very important. Majestic, powerful and one of the most colourful fish in British waters. All fish to be returned but remember we can photograph that catch. It is likely this session will involve bait collecting too.

Target species will be what I call table fish, Sole, Red Mullet, Bass, Black Bream and possibly Couches Bream. Species dependent on time of year. Top quality tackle and bait supplied.

Extended sessions are available at £20 per hour. All sessions are inclusive of rod, reel and tackle supplied by ABU, Shimano and Daiwa. Lost terminal tackle to be paid for but this is avoided as best as possible apart from when targeting Conger Eel and Bull Huss. Charges are also inclusive of all bait. A camera is always taken and photos can be emailed so that you have those memories to look back on and hopefully show off your fish to your friends and family when you get home! These are supplied via email free of charge.

Packed lunches available including drink at £6.50 per head, 24 hours notice required.

Always bring a spare sweatshirt or jacket even when sunny. Good footwear. Definitely no flip flops or sandals. Rules on footwear are simple…….bring either of those two and we don’t go! Trip will have to be paid for. It’s for your safety not my inconvenience. Please no drinking alcohol prior or during the session as again your safety is paramount.
