Hinkley Point

Spot:Hinkley Point

Access:As Stolford but rather then turn right into Stolford stay on the main road which will take you straight to the power station. There is limited roadside parking outside of the gates.(DO NOT PARK INSIDE THE POWER STATION WITHOUT PERMISSION) There is a stile just to the left of the main gate. Cross this and follow the footpath around the perimeter of the station and it will eventually bring you to the foreshore midway between Hinkley and Shurton. You will see the reefs in front of you. The best areas are either straight out in front of the power station or the long reef which runs off to the West (Shurton reef)

Tides:Can be fished on any sized tide for 2 ï¿½ hours either side of low water. Weed can be a problem on large tides and take care not to get cut off by the rising tide.

Species:Cod, codling, thornbacks, conger, whiting and bass.
