crisps is the gully on the left as you go on,if you fish over high water theres more depth there and less people if any ,left on the island.its deeper at the front of the island next to the stone pillar but that's a low water shot and better on big tides.if your fishing on the bottom you will need rotton bottoms as its heavy kelpy ground,if your float fishing set your depth up without your hook link on and fish just above the kelp.some nice wrasse and Pollock plus kelpys there at the min
