Gwinear Guides: Crantock and the Gannel - Bass and Mullet Fishing in Newquay - Shore Fishing Marks

The Gannel estuary is a major source of attraction for the local fish population and the Crantock beach area as a whole benefits from the estuary's fish pulling power. A variety of species can be found in this area but there are two main players that are key draws for us anglers: bass and mullet. In this video, we pinpoint the main areas that these species are commonly fished for in the Crantock and Gannel area and provide useful tips to greatly improve your chances of a successful session.

    These guide videos you do are fantastic just exactly what a visiting angler needs as you well know if we're coming from all over GB we ain't got a clue where to go or what to do and we just spend hours and hours catching nothing , or very little so keep making the videos Ben and crew I'm sure they help loads of us visitors , a place I find very interesting a picturesque is Hayle estuary at the back of the Asda now what a place and so many opportunities but some sound local advice wouldn't go amiss , when thtides filling the estuary there must be loads of fish coming in with it I know I've seen some huge seals in there so obviously there's food for them ,any chance of a vid fellas that'd be great oh and Penzance too , best wishes to you all 💥💥💥👍👍👍

    Hi John, thanks for the feedback and it’s great to hear you are enjoying the videos! To be honest, I think it’s unlikely that we would cover Hayle in a video a) as none of us really fish it very often and b) it might not sit well with some of the local anglers who fish it more regularly. It’s definitely a good area to try though, like you say! Ben

    Excellent video, Ben, as we are used to from you. Great production and presentation, very “pro”! Brown trout, LOVES me some sea angling, always have, but defo fancy tackling some of our wilder, less trodden riversides and luring for some wild brownies, any insights, please.

    If you mean in the Gannel mate, it’s stuffed full of brownies in the section from the boating lake to Trevemper bridge! They are mostly very small though, one as long as your hand would be a goodun in there. I used to catch them on mepps spinners as a kid but they should respond well to other small lures.

    The only places I know near you with a good rep for brownies are stithians res (fly only I think) and the river at st erth near Hayle (not sure whether lure fishing is allowed or if it is fly only). Generally, Cornwall has middling to poor wild brownie fishing in the rivers. The fish are usually very small.

    @@GwinearAngling Shame that, big fan of brownies, is there a much prettier, hard fighting, freshwater lure predator in the UK? Stithians is defo fly only, which is criminal as I'd love a day out on the kayak catching some rainbows or brownies for our tea! Yeah, justnever attempted fly fishing, although there is a lake out near Reawla that offers lessons. LOVE lures, love everything about lure fishing, and, tbf, don't see a huge difference between lures and flies, well, other than the abject snobbery, of course! I just feel, a dawn stalk, along some outback river, mist rising, along with the trout, is heavenly. Maybe I bite the bullet and have a peak at fly lessons. Thank you for your help, Ben, next time we're up your way I will 100% pop in to shake your hand, Sir. Your mullet videos, uploaded in your previous KZread life, are still a great watch. 👍

    I definitely prefer brownies to rainbows, I think they’re better looking. I agree about the lure fishing too, there seems to be still some snobbery attached to fly fishing which, in many cases, I think is unjustified. Both disciplines have their skills and on waters such as stithians there is more than enough room to accommodate both methods. Good luck if you decide to venture into the fly world, if you do, the river side of things is definitely easier I think as most of the time you aren’t casting any distance and there are few wild trout in Cornish rivers that will say no to a small black dry fly! 😄Thanks for the kind words mate and I look forward to seeing you in the shop, Ben

    Hi Luke, its fair to say that both methods are equally productive there - if you want the absolute best chance of catching a bass of any size though, lugworm on a running leger rig with as light a lead as you can get away with is a proven winner 👍

    Depending what species you’re fishing for, that area can be quite fussy about conditions so you might not be doing anything wrong. It’s not easy to get everything dead right there.

    Polluted and overfished. Watched the boats pull them self along the rocks dropping their gill nets 1.5 meters off the rocks . Proper sad state of affairs.

    When was this? Through the summer? I mainly fish it in the autumn and winter and I’ve never seen anybody netting there. The sewage overflow definitely discharges way more often than it should, a well-known issue with the area unfortunately 😕
