A truly memorable adventure for both holiday makers and also local people who are yet to experience the world of sea fishing around our wonderful coastline.

Cornwall Fishing Adventures

Aimed at beginners or inexperienced anglers, this is the perfect Cornish Experience for anybody who would like to dip their toes into the wonderful world of sea angling from the Cornish shoreline.

The adventure itself is a guided shore fishing experience consisting of a three hour session fishing from the shore

Typically, we arrange a meeting point near a mark and make acquaintance.

This is where the adventure begins....

A small trek to a suitable fishing mark, sharing stories amongst the ranks. On arrival to the chosen fishing spot, there will be a talk about the dangers and the wonderful nature and wildlife that thrives around us will be highlighted.

A brief, but concise, 'how to' talk will follow, with the reasoning of our fishing methods. You will then be able to cast away into the shimmering Cornish waters.

As long as the fish have read the script, a super session then begins.
