Fished it a few weeks back got on from the harbour end thas a hole in the fence your aloud to fish it when the lads are finished work (5:30-6:00)
Had fish a chuck coalies eels whiting flattys

[NuFc JoSh]

fished it last night with me m8 we had 10 fish in total 8 whiting 1 coalie and a flatty all caught on rag and maccy. That hole in the fence has been covered up now but there is a fence bent down on that road that takes you down to the marina

Whats the walkway like during the day ?

Bait to use ?

its a bit hit n miss fish wise.... mainly whiting at the min but the odd codling does turn up ( coley too in numbers if they can be a$$d making an appearance)
bait is another hit n miss as the last time i was down there rag tipped with macky outfished fresh crab but the day before crab was taking fish and the rag/macky was getting stripped in a few mins off the crabs

The walkway is normally best on a night time, like Chrome said, hitty missy during the day. Decent enough during the day in winter though and some nice Whiting shoals come through, had some decent fish there during the past. Fresh crab seems best throughout the summer as expected but rag or rag/maccy baits also work well. Can be VERY weedy if there has bee a couple of days of big swell at sea though and should defo be avoided! lol

Cheers for the info lads much appreciated !!
