i havent fished it in a couple of years but the wooden bridge used to throw up a nights fishing on an incoming tide might be worth a shot

only fished there 3 times - by all accounts its very hit and miss - not to mention an awful slog of a walk on the eastern side

only got pin whiting and there seems to be a localised shoal of them following me round the country :lol:

it's not great to be honest. lots of small whiting and sometimes coalies. have had flounder off the beach in november but hit and miss. found maddies best for them after christmas. you'll want an evening rise or full darkness.

a seal used to come in under the bridge with the tide eating the flats. catching them is another thing once the first frosts/early november.
