When fishing from the shore please be aware of the direction of the tide to ensure you do not get cut off. In some places there is nowhere to climb to safety if you are cut off from land and the surrounding currents can be very strong.
Shell Beach
This is a good spot for bass. You generally fish straight off this sandy beach, which has very few rocks on it. However there are some rocks further out that provide a good vantage point into deeper water at low tide They can be a bit of a scramble to get over but can prove an interesting change of scene for a few hours.
At the northern end of Shell Beach is Alderney Point, which can be fished both at high and low water. Anglers should be wary of the strong tidal race here at certain times of the tide.
Belvoir Bay
This is a steeply sloping, but sandy, cove which has a large expanse of flat sand at low water. Anglers fish off both headlands and also from the beach.
Rosaire Steps
There is easy access here whatever the state of tide . However be aware that there are strong currents and as a result any bottom-fishing tends to be restricted to the three hours either side of low-water.
Putrainez
Off the east cliffs of Herm, this is a rocky outcrop that turns into an island at high-tide. It is safe to stay on the rock across high tide but please be aware that you could be stuck there for some time until the tide falls sufficiently to return. This area can be fished at both high and low water. This is reached after a scramble down rocks, so please take care.
Selle Rocque
On Herm's east coast this point is accessible and fishable at all states of the tide. You don't actually get onto Selle Rocque, but fish from a point at the foot of Herm's cliff. It is reached via a small path leading down from the main cliff path. The small path may not be immediately obvious so ask a local for directions if needed. It is a fairly easy path to negotiate but be careful scrambling over the rocks towards the bottom.
