Fishing The waters off the South East Cornish Coast and the inland lakes and ponds are excellent for fishing. Whether you enjoy coarse fishing, game fishing, crabbing, shark fishing, beach fishing, fishing from the rocks or fishing from a boat, there is something for you near to Looe or off the coast of Looe. Wrasse, conger, flatfish, rays, pollack, mackerel, whiting, dabs and bass are some of the fish that can be found off the Cornish coast. Wander along the quayside to find your perfect trip. Equipment is usually provided but it would be wise to check first.
