Fishing Brixham Breakwater

The half mile long breakwater at Brixham is an excellent shore fishing mark in South Devon. Although mainly considered a summertime shore fishing venue, Brixham Breakwater can be, and is, fished throughout the whole year.

Float fishing for mackerel and Garfish can be productive from mid way to the end of the breakwater, from both the seaward side and the side facing the Brixham shore. Many anglers fish Brixham Breakwater to catch Mackerel, although it’s also a good mark to catch other species, particularly during night fishing sessions.

The Mullet fishing is good from the inside of Brixham Breakwater and the area around the old fuelling jetty is popular for Bass fishing and Conger fishing. The Congers are almost always caught during night fishing sessions, and the best time for the Bass is first and last light.

Brixham Breakwater is an extremely accessible South Devon fishing mark and popular with anglers of all ages and abilities.
