Housel Bay

(6.9/10)

0.2 miles from Housel Bay

South-east facing rocky ledges flanking a small cove just east of Lizard Point. Clear water, kelp-filled gullies and some depth close in. Best on a flooding tide into dusk through summer and early autumn; winter can still produce pollack. Space is limited and the swell can rebound off the cliffs—check...

Bass Point

(6.9/10)

0.5 miles from Housel Bay

An exposed rock headland on the Lizard peninsula with deep, clear water, kelp-filled gullies and strong tidal movement. Multiple ledges around the NCI lookout give access to depth quickly, making it a prime lure and float-fishing venue in settled seas. Best results typically come at dawn and dusk on a...

Church Cove, Lizard

(7/10)

0.6 miles from Housel Bay

East-facing rocky cove below The Lizard with kelp-filled gullies and small ledges giving quick access to fairly deep, clear water.

Lizard Point

(6.7/10)

0.6 miles from Housel Bay

Exposed rocky headland with very deep water close in, strong tidal movement and kelp-filled gullies. Best in settled weather with a light northerly or no swell. Summer brings mackerel, garfish, scad and wrasse; pollack year-round (dawn/dusk and into darkness), and conger after dark. Access is via paths from Lizard village...

Polpeor Cove

0.6 miles from Housel Bay

Steep, exposed granite ledges directly beneath Lizard Point at the old lifeboat slip. Deep water within a short cast over kelp and broken ground with strong tidal run. Best in settled weather with small swell and clear water; summer and early autumn bring pelagics and garfish, while evenings and after...

Bass Pollack Pouting Bull Huss Mackerel

Kynance Cove

(6.7/10)

1.6 miles from Housel Bay

A dramatic serpentine-rock cove on the Lizard with deep kelp-filled gullies and a strong tide run around Asparagus Island. Fishing is from uneven, wave-washed rocks over very rough ground; expect tackle losses. Summer brings excellent wrasse and pollack sport, with mackerel and garfish on clearer, calmer days and bass in...
