Porthkerris is a very popular place for fishermen, and also very popular for the fish too! 

We have a large area that is set aside just for fishing, so there is plenty of space to choose from.  Mackeral is the most common fish caught from the rocks here, especially during April/May when we get huge shoals coming in.  However, if you know your fishing it is also possible to catch fish such as Bass, Pollock and even Angler Fish!

We have a shop at Porthkerris that does stock a few bits and pieces of Fishing Tackle such as feathers, weights, rods (a variety of sizes), floats, weights, landing nets, lines, reels, filleting knives and frozen sand eels for bait.

If you are keen on Fishing or just fancy a small boat trip, you might like to go out on a boat and have a go at doing some deeper fishing, perhaps over some wrecks….. This gives you more opportunity to catch more of a variety of fish, including Cod, Whiting and Ling.  We can provide this from one of our boats, the 'Celtic Kitten'….. You would go out for a couple of hours, all equipment is included.  We do need a minimum of 6 people to run this trip. 

We must stress that here at Porthkerris we like to think that whatever you take from the sea is to be eaten or used for something – please don't kill just because you can!  And if you are out there fishing and catching then we are always grateful for a couple in the shop! 

Prices for Fishing are £2.00 per person fishing and £2.00 to park the car……And this lasts all day!
