FIVE GO MAD IN PADSTOW
SITUATED BETWEEN NEWUAY AND Port Issac and nestling alongside the west bank of the Camel River, the ancient fishing town of Padstow is a popular destination for anglers seeking a variety of species while fishing from either shore or boat.
Offshore beyond the mouth of the river, the seas off North Cornwall teem with life and fishing afloat can bring results with at least 30 different species. Lurking beneath the waves during the summer are tope.
It was an early morning start in late June when we set off on a local charter boat, Emma Kate, skippered by Lee Wicks, to chase the elusive tope.
