A GUIDE TO SEA FISHING IN EXMOUTH?

Exmouth as a fishing spot.

Exmouth is a splendid fishing sanctuary sprawled along the south coast of Devon. With unrivalled access to both the Bristol Channel and the English Channel, Exmouth is an ideal spot for any angler seeking a fishing adventure . The Exe estuary entices fish species such as bass, flounder, mullet, wrasse and various flatfish aplenty. Casting out to open sea offers up conger eels, huss, pollack and bullhuss. Plus, when visiting Exmouth, take advantage of further possibilities like Sharkwatch boats that grant you exceptional prospects of porbeagle shark sightings off the Westcountry coastline.

It’s worth noting that Exmouth has various piers with public access for launching boats or casting rigs straight into the water unimpeded. Take care to appreciate the tides’ ebb and flow regularly; knowing this information beforehand will save you considerable stress on your trip! Make sure to bring gear suitable for beach-casting when targeting larger species in deeper waters.

A top tip would be to investigate when low tide approaches ; several lugworms can often be discovered on sandy beaches surrounding much of Exmouth’s coast that helps account for popular bait options used in local tourist shops. Be sure not to overdo things too quickly: As two anglers found out recently they reeled in an impressive 10ft shark after a five-hour fishing trip along with 30 mins wrestling time in their kayak!. Keep things realistic by trying different techniques until you find a winning combination and ensure you’re adhering to all rules before setting out on any adventure.

Whether it’s rain or shine, there’s no bad time to go fishing in Exmouth – just make sure you bring a towel for the inevitable soaking.

The best time to go sea fishing in Exmouth

Exmouth is a dream destination for sea fishing enthusiasts . The optimal time to indulge in this activity is when the water temperature hits 16-20 degrees Celsius, from late April through September . It’s essential to check weather updates and tidal patterns before heading out to maximize your catch.

To make the most of your Exmouth sea fishing, you must choose the right equipment, including rods, reels, rigs and baits . You can also opt for chartered boats with local guides , who have a knack for finding the best spots for different types of fish.

While Exmouth offers an abundance of species such as Cod, Pollock and Plaice all year round , locals fondly recall Midnight May Day celebrations where humongous bass weigh-ins take place.

A group of anglers once invited me to join them on their annual fishing trip in Exmouth. We set sail at dawn but caught nothing for several hours. Just as we were about to pack up and go home empty-handed, we hit upon a sizeable school of Bass following feeding Sprats – it was thrilling!

Pack your tackle box and leave your troubles behind, because Exmouth’s sea fishing scene is sure to blow your bait away!

In addition to these required items, it’s vital that you acquire local information on weather forecasts and tidal patterns. It will help you plan your trip accordingly.

If you’re new to sea fishing in Exmouth and require guidance, consider hiring an experienced local guide who knows the area well.

Once a client of mine went fishing without obtaining a detailed weather forecast. Despite having the correct equipment, he ended up in dangerous conditions with high tides and strong wind currents. Fortunately, he had his life jacket on and was eventually rescued by a passing boat. This story shows how important it is always to be cautious while planning a trip for sea fishing in Exmouth.

Fishing Trips and Charters

Welcome to tiger charters, tiger charters will be operating trips and charters in summer 2022, keep an eye on our website and facebook page for more information soon., please feel free to send an email to [email protected] to register your interest and we will come back to you when schedules are available..

We operate out of EXMOUTH, on the East Devon coast.  It's an easy place to get to, just 8 miles from junction 30 of the M5, making it accessible from places like Taunton, Bristol, Birmingham, even St Austell in Cornwall is only 90 minutes away. It's a popular tourist destination too, and we welcome tourists, day visitors and locals alike on our fishing trips.  Exmouth has 2 miles of sandy beaches, so its an excellent location for family holidays. It does, however, give us a sand bar to navigate around so prompt departure times are a necessity.  We ask our customers to be on time PLEASE.

We fish in Lyme Bay which stretches from Start Point near Dartmouth in the west to the Isle of Portland in the east.  It's a big area so we don't claim to fish all of the bay, just the spots that are accessible from Exmouth to give you some decent time for fishing.  Lyme Bay was used by marine traffic during World War 1 so there are many wrecks lying on the sea bed, unfortunate victims of war, and now home to our local sea life.

Our boat TIGER operates regularly between April and November - weather permitting.  We are fully insured, and coded by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency ( MCA ), who ensure that we carry all the safety equipment necessary for your safety at sea.

 TIGER is a 10.5 meter (35 foot) Offshore 105 powered by an FPT 480hp engine.  She carries up to 10 passengers, so no overcrowding, and there is seating for everyone on deck.  In the wheelhouse you can find GPS, sonar, radar, radios, and the skipper, Paul.  TIGER also has a toilet, and carries hot water and even a microwave for extra comfort on longer journeys. We carry tea and coffee as standard, and sometimes soups. Please feel free to bring your own beverages and food.  Don't forget, with the microwave you can warm up pasties, pies, noodles, or any number of foods, so come prepared!

You can book onboard in two ways.  Either as an individual(s) on our TRIPS which are scheduled throughout the season.  Or you can book the whole boat as a CHARTER.  We carry 10 people max on either trip or charter.

TIGER regularly operates our core TRIPS -  6 hour Inshore Fishing and 8 hour Offshore Fishing.  During the (hopefully) warmer weather we will also be running some 10 hour trips.

Got a group?  With seating for all, TIGER is also suitable for CHARTERS.

If you fancy something a bit different, like a bit of fishing then lunch in Brixham, then simply phone us and we'll give you a quote.

Please note, though, that we cannot guarantee you catching fish at any time - that's why its called fishing and not catching! 

Going Fishing!

Fishermen see fun weekend of bluefish blitzes and sea bass limits at Jersey Shore

Fishermen took away quite a few fish this weekend from the sea bass trips to the bluefish run on the beaches.

Friday was opening day of sea bass season and as expected the inshore structures were plump with fish. The for-hire captains boasted of a lot of limit catches made by their anglers. The Farms was one of the productive areas but just about any rock under 120 feet of water has sea bass on it.

Capt. William Egerter Jr. on the Dauntless party boat sounded very pleased with what he saw. Egerter had been observing the sea bass for a couple weeks as he ling fished, but finally given the green light to keep them, his fares filled their coolers right out of the gate. The ling and codfish were also biting, which means his anglers will be busy sautéing a lot of fish.

Clams and squid hook baits will catch the sea bass but so will jigs and teasers. Capt. Bobby Quinn on the Ocean Explorer said he had anglers who preferred to catch them that way. He too, saw plenty of variety in between the steady sea bass action. He reported catches of ling, whiting and winter flounder.

Fishermen plucked away at fluke. It sounded like it was always the best of drifting conditions in the bays. Capt. Hal Hagaman of the Sea Tiger II out of Atlantic Highlands said he had wind against the tide or absolutely nothing at times, which forced him to do quite a bit of power drifting in the Sandy Hook Bay. When he did get a breeze it made for a little easier fishing. Overall he had at least a half-dozen anglers walk off the boat with limit and a several more with at least one or two keepers, over the four half-day trips he made this weekend.

Grumpy's Tackle in Seaside Park had a few anglers bring in fluke to be weighed that were caught in the surf. A pair of them were over four pounds. Gulp and teasers will get these surf fish on the hook, as will baits.

More: What's biting: get the latest fishing reports here

The ocean county surf is giving up all sorts of fish. The bass is nothing new and continue to bite but there were several drum caught not too mention some furious bluefish action. Bob and Sue Misak of Lacey went down to Long Beach Island on Friday afternoon and battled the bluefish until their arms were tired. They were fishing the north end of the island on the incoming tide.

Bob said the bluefish one after the other on bunker baits. The fish tore up their fishing line a bit so they'll be re-spooling before the next time out.
