Fantastic Fishing

Fishing here on the Isles of Scilly is a fantastic experience, whether you fish on-shore or off-shore.

On shore, there are fanatsic coves and bays that offer a wealth of interesting catches.

For those that prefer boat fishing, trips can be arranged through the tourist office and many of the inter-island launches have evening fishing trips.

Shark

The reefs close to shore are alive with pollack, and conger eels when the boat is anchored and during the summer months there are lots of the sleek and fast running blue sharks around. Blue sharks are best to catch on light tackle so they can really show their true fighting qualities. There are few other fish to catch in UK waters that are as beautiful as the blue; 60lbs is an perfectly good shark, although there have been past catches over the magical 100lbs.
