Honestly, it was this big!
Life on the water in South Devon thrives whatever the weather, and both sea and river fishing are very popular locally all year round. The backdrop of this spectacular coastline - rugged and sheltered in equal measures - will add that special something to your fishing trip.
Bantham, Bigbury, Mothecombe and Challaborough are all popular fishing spots very close to Thatches and there's a huge variety of fish to be had. The breakwater at Brixham is great for mackerel and bass. To make the most of these idyllic locations, head out at sunrise or sunset to dodge the seasonal crowds and guarantee yourself a parking spot!
