From beach or boat, mackerel to shark; for fun or competition, as individuals or groups; the sea and coastline around Devon and Cornwall offers an abundance of different species and exciting opportunities to suit any angler's preference. And all within easy reach of West Venn Cottages.
From the beaches and rocks you can expect to catch codling, pollack, rays, turbot, bass, dogfish, flatties, gurnard, wrasse, whiting and mackerel.
Aboard the Charter boats, you will catch all of the aforementioned species, but usually much bigger! Plus, black and red bream, smoothound, conger, bull huss, some huge tope and, of course, the porbeagle and blue shark.
Most bait's will catch you fish, but around the rocks try using small crabs for the large wrasse or sandeel and jelly worms for the pollack; from the beaches use worm, peeler crab, sandeels or mackerel strips; and on the charters fresh mackerel is usually all that you need.
You can organise your own charters, or we can do it for you. Our Skippers are personally tried and tested before we organise any trips on our guest's behalf. So you can be sure of safe trip and the best the day possible. Specialist sharking and salt water fly fishing are highly recommended.
We currently use Skippers out of Clovelly (as seen in November's edition of Sea Angler), Boscastle, Bude, Padstow and Exmouth, Looe and Dartmouth.
"Following substantial development West Venn Farmhouse offers a high standard of accommodation, just the thing for angling groups and families, and is strategically located for several ports"

"The best fishing, the best accommodation, the best entertainment, the best laugh. I know it sounds OTT Steve, but quite simply.it was the best. And we didn't have to do anything other than turn up!"
