Have just had a fantastic time traveling around Devon and Cornwall in the camper van, A whole two weeks of sun, cider and plugging, oh and lobbing out softies LRF. Now Cornwall and Devon's green pastures and rolling hills certainly make Jersey look like one of Cinderella's ugly sisters, its totally breath-taking scenary and some fantatastic fishing grounds.

This was Rockham beach north Devon, it didn't come up trumps for me but you could see the huge potential, I spoke to some local anglers who were fishing this spot and they said that not a great deal was falling to lures..
From North Devon we trundled down to Boscastle and onto Padstow, just amazing fishing grounds. From Padstow we moved onto St Ives, the weather was fantastic with a beautiful gin clear blue sea.

LRF on the St Ives coast, huge boulder fields holding Wrasse and pollock. The most productive soft plastic of the trip was the zoom fluke tail, spiked.

this tiny pollock took a zoom in crystal clear water in full light. Sorry about the anglo-saxon tan hopefully you've eaten.
From St Ives we followed the coast around to the Lizard, wow what a fantastic place. Decided to fish right on the lizard point by the old life boat station. The target species of the session was Wrasse, the mark looked really good for it. Huge boulder fields and loads of ledges for the pigs to shelter under. From the first cast on the TR4 loaded with 8lb braid it was a constant knocking, something was hitting the fluke tail then whollop

I kept the tension on the line but did nothing after what seemed like an eternity the fish made another small run and i managed to get him to the surface...................................... Cornish WRASSTY on

After what was a fantastic scrap the fish was rested and returned, and I fished on. Again the knocks came thick and fast and another fish was produced, slighty smaller but again felled by a fluke tail and on the drop

. That day stood out as such a fantastic LRF session, I had put everything that Keith and Kev had taught me into practice in unfamiliar surroundings and come up trumps, cheers guys ( May need another picuture frame filling). When we stayed at the Lizard we camped at a great little campsite called Henry's campsite (www.henryscampsite.co.uk), the owners Jo and Ron were fantastic, Ron put me onto some great bass marks but I can't give away another mans marks, you'll have to ask him yourself. and finally this last photo should inspire you all to go
