Brixham Breakwater

Brixham Breakwater in Brixham, Devon, United Kingdom | Fishing

Brixham Breakwater, United Kingdom, is where most of the records in Torbay have come from and it is a very popular place to fish. The first record shore caught conger eel was caught here in 1975 by Roger Beer and the eel weighed in at 56lbs 4ozs.  Brixham Breakwater, is a huge place to go Fishing. From the car park it will take you about 10 minutes to walk to the end. The last third of the breakwater offers the best Fishing and both float Fishing and bottom Fishing can produce outstanding results.  Access for the disabled is really good. The car park has disabled parking and apart from one small steep ramp you'll be travelling on level ground the whole time. There are toilets in the car park and a restaurant in case you feel like a meal.  There are no lights along the Brixham Breakwater at night so you will need either lamps, torches or night glow sticks if you want to fish at night.

There are plenty of rocks on either side of the wall so you'll need to reel in a bare hook quickly and keep it on the top of the water as you wind in.  There is also a slim chance if you're Fishing that the Torbay Lifeboat, which is moored here, will ask you to go out with them. For legal reasons they must have a set number of crew on board when they go out.  Catches (depending on season) are mainly Mackerel, Conger, Garfish, Dogfish, Bass, Whiting, pollock, rockling, codling and wrasse.  Rarer catches include cod, black bream and smoothhound.
