Hello mate ,I fished off the right hand side on a Northeasterly dying sea a few Christmas's ago and got one hell of a bite ,I got snagged and lost what I consider my biggest shore fish so I'd definately give it a crack.

lol thats a bit harsh, but i can understand where ye coming from. Its ok to get advice about a mark, but to really get to know a mark its best to go there at low water and suss it out, then fish it. Thats what i do, and thats probably why i catch very little hehe

Fish the south breakwater, watch the tide - if there's a swell it'll come over it. I've fished there off and on since I was in my late teens, doesn't produce massive numbers but does normally throw some nice fish out. Can be very snaggy so if you're a cheap so and so like me then use some old spark plugs (make sure they're cleaned off so there's no oil or anything on them) or something similar as sinkers. Don't need a long cast and you'll soon figure out where the holes are.

Seem to remember it was geet slippy and geet snaggy - rotten bottem rigs are the order of the day...but it's perfect fishy territory
Be prepared to lose gear

That's why I prefer it from the breakwater on a high tide, seems a bit easier when you're a bit higher up and get a bit lift on the gear straight off. Still can be a tackle graveyard at times, hence me not using leads there!

I fish the south side regular in the winter mate on low water. Luckily for me it's at the bottom of my street. The rocks are a good shot but can be very frustating, but when it does produce it's normally well worth waiting for as fish can be big from here ;-)
Be very careful tho' as the tide can creep in behind you and cut you off!!

Ps On high water a 30yd lob on the south pier can put you into fish. Cast towards the north peir and and to the right

If you fish off the skeers you have to pull in over a series of ledges that are like a giant stairway, going down. If you fish off the pier you can cast along the ledge. As well as being higher up that might be what makes it easier to get your gear (and fish) back in. I don't fish the piers but my favourite, as a boy, for codling, was always the North. As others have said you're easily washed off.
