It starts at the very bottom of the south pier, and extends to the begining of the chems (chemical beach) It was easier in yester-year to see but now it's covered in sea defense rocks. Still good fishing though IMO

Very rough ground. Rotton bottoms a definite. Can be good fishing though

Park up where the bridge is on the main road. Then walk down a path cut in the bank. When you first get to the bottom, straight ahead of you is a good channel. It's rocky but really good. About 50 yds left is a kelp bed that can be seen at low tide, this too holds good fish. To the right you have the really really rough stuff. Rotten bottoms and heavy lines are needed but you can pull some good fish from the gullies.
It fishes well over high water but I personally think that 2 hours either side of low water are the best. Wait for a good northeasterly for best results, however the kelp bed produces when it's calm. I've always done best with lug and mussel/squid cocktails. Big casting isn't necessary as it's quite a deep venue.
I'll be there later in the year trying livebaiting again.

The bridge has a part next to it that is concreted over, you can park your car there off the road. Once you get to the end of the bridge look left and you will see the pathway.
