The rock formations of the East side of the Kingsbridge estuary mouth are less hazardous than those of the imposing start point, prawle point and Bolt head. There are many flat rock bed formations that create comfortable fishing platforms for the less extreme enthusiast. The best parking is at the Mill Bay car park with reasonable charges, although often it will not be manned and free. The fishing here, well, plaice are around most of the time, with bass in plentiful supply in the warmer months. Mackerel may plague the fishing on warm calm evenings and spoil the fun. Either way, it is an idyllic way to spend a few hours.Bait: good quality rag worm, (not boxed) squid, peeler crab and lugworm. Tackle: keep it reasonably light unless you are targeting the larger species such as ray and conger. A good quality bass rod and multiplier reel with a fine non stretch line. Any good quality fishing tackle is ideal for most situations.
