The pier is poor between the division of seasons

Hit and miss this time of year. If you are fishing the Slab / first gate area into the harbour it's always worth trying a rod dropped pretty much straight down the side, small hooks and a thumbnail of bluey for bait. Should get loads of little stuff to keep you interested plus the odd surprise - this time last year I had a 2 1/2lb coalie from down there

Caught a canny 1.5lb coley there a couple of years back almost down the side! Well worth a 'shark' rod in close caught a wrasse there last year too... Only about 5" long but canny anyway!
