Here on the North Coast of Cornwall, fishing from the shore, mainly Rocks, can be a hazardous pursuit owing to the big seas created by the Atlantic Swell. Fishing with Ed means fishing in safety, so even one session with him will give you some knowledge of safe local fishing marks. If you want to do your own thing, fishing from the shore, remember never fish alone, or tell someone where you are going and what time you should return, wear suitable clothing and footwear, and take note of tide times and heights etc.!
