is polly steps still the place to launch down there?

Ive used Polly Steps many times. Great place to launch. Just be sure to check the tides as at low springs it dries out. Not much parking this time of year and will be very busy this Sunday. Get there early is my advice. Other option which is not affected by tides is the small "beach" slip about 100 yards to the left outside the docks. Much better to launch from as currents tend not to affect it as much as the "steps" and is much deeper water if caught out by tide times. Can get busy with "local" users though and has no parking. Don't be put off by private land signs either. It belongs to council. HTH

When you thinking of Ed? Be good to meet up! Polly steps is fine but you do need an earlyish off this time of year.Not so important when we've been out in Jan -Feb time..eh Chris

Exmouth is 'ok' except on lowish water, where there's quite a nasty ledge on the bottom of the concrete slip and has caught out alot of people,and can do serious damage. It's also quite steep, and slippery near the bottom... but nothing a 4x4 cant deal with.
Parking is expensive,and Riggerousley enforced. With high volume use, inc alot of Jetskiers and you can find yourself in a long queue.
Can get Live Sandeels in the Harbour though..

...Although you can at Teighnmouth too!

No issues mate. Meant more for Nugent who asked if it was still the place to launch. Enjoy your Sunday.

Bass are slowly coming back in Teign after all the eels getting washed offshore with rainwater. Plenty Mackerel round at Babbacombe . Went up the Exe to the pontoon by the ski lane and had excellent mussels, if you're planning a midweek trip up there be sure to book as they arent always open unless they get bookings
