wrong time of the tide ? sea anglers advice was
A steep shelving beach that gives way to deep water fairly close in. Its a great venue to produce fish almost all year at any state of the tide. Most anglers prefer to fish it on an ebbing tide and over low water, especially after a blow in a dying sea. It fishes equally well in daylight as in darkness because the water is contstantly coloured form years of coal waste tipping. This venue is recognised as a Cod venue from September through to February with the chance of some big bags. Dropping a bait close can produce odd Bass. Summer produces good cathes of flatfish including Plaice, Dabs and flounders, while late spring can also thow up the odd Thornback ray. Cast at long range during a big swell to avoid a rig wash out, but generally anything in excess of 60 yards will put you among the fish.
