Bait used - Rag,squid,crab,lug and macky strips

Had 2 little coalies early on, then nowt til late flood where we caught a variety of stuff ! Pics below

Hello Kop mate, ermmm it's not a mark i'd fish on a big tide, or i'd make sure i was off a good couple hours before high tide as the waves do wash right over the top rocks to the bottom of the cliffs.
On a small tide like we're having now, you can fish it through the flood into the ebb without getting ya feet wet

Rig wise i think me and my mates were using mostly pulley rigs, but i can't vouch for craig and his pal, but yes it's pretty rough ground. Feels to me like there's a ledge about 40/50 yards out, wind in quick is good advice for this mark
If you can fish the left had side before it gets covered, that's a good chuck, i never seem to get snagged. Plain leads work best for me unless there's a bit swell

I'm down there today for a few hours, tides are wrong but am bored, see ya's down there if anyones daft enough to go today lol

Bravo on your catches mate, lovely bass, I've yet to add one to my species list, what bait did it take on?

 

[Juliogeordio]

Where abouts at Seaton was this? Im looking to try and give the marks a go but never realy sure where to go... the left side onto the big beach any good or do you need to be down on the rocks so your casting straight out into the sea?

 

[Phil83]

bait used to get the bass was rag wrapped in squid, lovely and juicy.

We just fished the rocks and belt straight out, but most of the fish seemed to be close in that day.

 

[g.ordon]

Crackin sesh mate. Is that mark called 'charlies garden'?

Right, got you mate. Cheers

 

[Juliogeordio]

Is that the rocks down behind the pub?

 

[davidhayley1945]

Is that the rocks down behind the pub?

yes thats rocky island ,the lads were fishing the high water mark behind the pub ,cross over the bridge and down to the rocks follow the concrete pipe down and fish seawards any where on the flat pipe .cracking winter mark

It's in front (on the right side) of the cut of the original harbour entrance. Walk along past the Kings Arms and follow the path/clamber down to get onto the rocks.
Fished there quite a few times myself, very snaggy but have had some decent fish from there, tried chucking lures around there quite a bit too but no success yet with those.

 

[Juliogeordio]

Will defo have to have a trip out there then.... looked at it a few times but never fished it.... fingers crossed for next time.

 

[Phil83]

Aye craig they were close in that day, too late when i realised how far he was sneakily chuckin his bait haha

Aye all in all it's been a good spot for us, fished it a fair few times and not one blank yet i don't think !
If anyones ever down there give us a shout i'm only down the road

 

[stevie h]
