Looe Cornwall - Napoleons and Narratology

If I knew this summer was going to be as bad as it was maybe I'd have chosen to fly off to sunnier climes however fingers crosses it isn't toooo bad as we've a week in Cornwall and then a week in Devon. Now I'm very much a novice to this sea fishing mark but obviously I'd have a few rods with with to try and winkle out a fish or two.

A wrasse would be nice and with Looe crabbing central crabs and some cooked prawns would be used as bait as well as trying some lures.


A quick internet search Hannafore Point a short walk away from the accommodation looks good for a wrasse maybe and there are some rock pools not far away from the beach where the lrf gear may come in use.

The pier is out of bounds for fishing however I decided to leave the beachcaster as home anyway because my twin brother lives in Westward Ho !! and he has plenty of gear where hopefully I can catch a smooth-hound.  


I've not been to Looe before but it seems a lovely little town and plenty to do with lots of places to eat and drink. Maybe a fishing trip if I got bored but we will definitely do a boat trip as there is so many options.

The harbour seems devoid of mullet from a first look-see however it was teaming with sandeels so there must be some bass around.



 We have a great view over Looe harbour and especially when it's lit up it's a very pretty place indeed. There a few tackle shops here, nothing massive but enough if you need to get a few bits and pieces.

I might get some smaller sandeel looking lure to match the hatch so to speak as the ones I've got are a little on the large side. Anyway a quick trip out early morning was fruitless on the lure apart from one rise from something when I tried a surface popper around Pen rocks.

Some lrf gear in and around the harbour nought !! however I did have some follows from something but they were non committal.

There is certainly a big tide here so I'm hoping the rock pools with come up trumps with some small fish but lets see. I'm fishing blind like I always am with this sea fishing lark, so I'm sure it will be luck rather than judgment if I catch anything.
