This would be deemed as "legally" fishing the Pier...might be sheltered too

That little bay seems to have a surprising number of flounder in it. I ve fished there about half a dozen times with rag/mackerel bait on little hooks and have caught fish every time - usually about 1/2 pound - biggest about 3/4 pound.
It's comfortable. Radio, flask of whisky, 10 Marlboros. Few flatties. Lovely.

Quite right. I ve quit the tabs too.
As VIZ once said: "Don't smoke. And if you have to smoke, don't."
(I reckon it fishes throughout the tide, by the way. Casting from the haven rocks opposite the pier is good at low water. The old jetty a couple of hundred yards out which people call the "four posts" is a decent shot for flounder and plaice (summer). On big low-tides you can cast near to it from the shore. If your a good caster you can probably cast beyond it. If your me you can't
