paddy's point to haulbowline

#1 Post by mawk »

hey guys, do any of you fish this area at all?

I live nearby but never actually fish there, ive gotten macks near the bridge and watch the mullet and occasional sea trout hopping but i have yet to try the beach. I presume there must be something worth catching as A: there is a mess of bait there and B:there is a load of tackle wrapped around the high tension lines, and some of the rigs are of decent build. At least I dont think useless marckerel bashers use clip down rigs..

So does anyone have any advice on the place?
Species? tides? rigs? bait? distances?
species 2010: whiting, cod, flounder, coalfish, short spined sea scorpion, pollack, herring, conger

thanks darren

did you actually catch the thorny from a height on the bridge or is it better to climb down towards the edge? and if so, which edge? spike island side or ringaskiddy side?

sorry for the badgering but i feel im probably wasting a great local mark with my ignorance
