cast short and only take ragworm. 2oz or 3oz plain lead.

if you do try a long cast you will get nothing on it.

Never had much out of the r/hand side myself, but seen some decent
fish come on the l/hand side fishing from the ledge as you first go on, as dabcatcher says 2 hook flappers and rag,
good luck.

one of the best marks! its a water outlet. on a big low tide...chuck straight towards it just to the right of it you'll see a small wreck.

tbh, anywhere form the old swimming baths up over can fish well. ive never had anything bigger than 2lb, but in one session ive had 20+ schoolies when conditions are right.

one other thing, ive always used two rods - one lobbed out and one thrashed out...they both get fish

nah, thats a 'neap' tide.

anything from 0.0 to 0.5(ish) are big low tides

 

[white water]

ok thanks mate

I have found opposite the water outlet is often better on the tides either side of neaps opposed to the really big ones. If you are getting nothing close in do not be afraid to bash one out, I have taken bass at range there before the water is really not that deep and with a bit of roll on you can get them anywhere.

Ragworm takes most fish as schoolies but dont be afraid to try some crab or sandeel as I have taken my bigger fish on cocktails with rag + something at slightly more range.

Never had anything bigger than 3.5lb from there myself and even those are rare, I have heard of bigger from people who usually dont tell fishy tales but never witnessd it myself.

The way the sea is this week if it keeps a slight well at the weekend you should do ok, I might even be down myself overnight if the misses lets me out!

Good luck.
