Devon sibbers

[paul sparkes]

Are there any sibbers on here from south devon?

[ralphindevon]

I'm not a serious sibber but do love pottering around and fishing from my Honwave t38ie here in Teignmouth.
I only have a 5hp outboard, which gets me around fine but I'm not going to keep up with the big boys. 😊

Hi sorry not from teignmouth but would love to

Yeah it's a really nice place, I love it.
Very easy launching from the Polly steps slipway, you can park there all day for £3 or £35 four the whole year. Launching is free.
You can launch at pretty much any state of tide, except maybe low tide on a spring tide.
Then you've got the estuary to explore, nice and sheltered, and then out to sea you have the beaches between here and Torbay and then Hopes Nose and Torbay in one direction, Dawlish, Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton in the other direction.

Let me know if you come this way, I might be about myself. 👍

Ha! No it's not actually, I think there are 3 Honwaves in the different racks, one 3.2 and a couple small ones.
Mines a 3.8 and I think I'd struggle to get it upright in a rack even if there was a spare one.
I pump and deflate each trip using a Bravo pump. I can usually get pumped and fully ready to go in 15-20 minutes.

Hi all

Normally I make a decision a couple of days before hand as don't trust the weather forecast will post a thread , keep eyes pealed.

definatly the best way to do it same here i look out the window then decide what to do
where do you launch from usualy ime usualy round plymouth area but looking to get further afield with my sib just havving van probs at the mo which limits me

[ralphindevon]

I live just a couple minutes from the Teignmouth slipway, so I'm very much a last minute person.
If anyone is planning on a trip here and wants some company, let me know and I'll see if I'm free.
As I said though, I've only got a 5 HP Mariner 4 stroke, so I won't be racing you to Torquay any time soon.
I do like a bit of fishing, trouble is the fishing is far better in the estuary at the moment, which means fishing from the shore.
Hopefully this wind will bring more fish inshore.

As for the fish, there's more needed than the wind.

Thread revival!

Has anyone met up from here? I'm based in Exmouth and hope to fish/explore the area with some like minded sib'rs.

Thanks

[Torbay]

Hi - new to forum and Torbay based! Not so interested in fishing but very interested in exploring up towards exmouth over the summer and any advice on some great local trips…..Apologies as we have a rib not a sib if that rules us out :-)
