Spent a very pleasant 5 hours fishing around the first gate area. My target was to catch a plaice. Started fishing about 1.00pm. Used two rods : one at distance, and one shorter. Baits were fresh dug ragworm and fresh crab and a couple of whiteworms.
In five hours fishing with two rods, I only got the one bite. However it was indeed a plaice, but only of a modest size (just under 1lb). It was caught at distance on ragworm.
Despite the lack of bites a very enjoyable afternoon indeed. The wind did pick up quite a bit later on in the afternoon, but it was almost from behind, so it didn't spoil things.
Bumped into Waco Nice to meet you mate, and very good of you to share your years of knowledge about the pier.
Only downside to the day was having to "suffer" the queues to go north through the tunnel.
