Wrecks and ReefsThe famous Eddystone Rocks marked by the towering lighthouse and the stump of its forerunner that stands on Plymouth Hoe needs little introduction. Although large shoals of big bass are now less common, a fish in double figures is always likely to attack a live launce being drifted along through the main gully. The Eddystones's greatest ever fish is a 500 lb MAKO SHARK that took 2½ hours to subdue. CONGER and LING are plentiful on the reef's North side and fine double-figure POLLACK are a feature on the pinnacles on its southern flanks. Four miles away is the Hands Deeps Reef where the water is much deeper and great pinnacles of rock claw towards the surface. This is big pollack territory supreme and the initial dive of even a ten pounder is one of angling's greatest thrills. Fish with too tight a clutch and it's a swift goodbye. |
