The first note must be that extreme rock fishing can be dangerous. To fish at Start Point you must be aware of the dangers of climbing and walking the coastal rocks and the extreme currents and wave conditions which can change in a matter of seconds. Never the less, those who venture there often reap the largest and greater numbers of fish expected from a boating expedition. Bull huss, Bass, Pollack are the most hunted fish. Parking is relatively inexpensive at the car park at the top of the hill, but it is a long walk down and seems an even longer walk back, especially with a bag full of big fish. Baits: most fish baits are fine. worm may not perform quite so well in these deeper areas. During the summer months live sand eel is a must during day light hours and squid will produce good catches at night. Heavier tackle is recommended at these marks, an uptide rod with a sturdy multiplier would be ideal.
