SPECIMEN BASS FISHING:

The Manacles reef in south west Cornwall is probably one of the best bass reefs in England, consistently producing bass in excess of 8lbs. The biggest fish caught in the Manacles are as big as bass get.

I used to fish the reef commercially and am well placed to offer the chance for sport fishermen to fish the infamous rocks that used to be the preserve of only a few small-boat fishermen that operate from local coves.

Whilst plenty of fish between 3 and 5lbs are caught, the BLUE POINTER specifically targets specimen size bass. Catering for small parties of serious fishermen, live mackerel, lance, plugs, wedges and trolled magnums are fished for the biggest bass the Manacles have to offer.

We have caught bass to the fly whenever we have tried; sometimes they take a small fly before a livebait. If you are a keen fly-fisherman with a big budget I will be delighted to put you well within casting distance of the best marks within the reef.

PLEASE NOTE:

Due to the shallow waters and strong currents in the Manacles, we only go bassing when it is very calm. If on the day there is a large rolling swell or choppy onshore conditions be prepared to do another form of fishing instead. We cannot cancel or postpone the day because it's unfit for bassing if it would be perfectly fine to go wrecking.

Bass fishing is only available as a private charter. For more information about big bass fishing on the BLUE POINTER:
