Where there many people there? I tried bait fishing there last summer & never again!
Caught loads of absolutly tiny Dabs and plenty of Mackeral small codling and starfish too but the amount of people there crossing your lines and the rubbish just put me off completly...find it good for mackeral in summer but that is all i would go back for!

Good to see you caught a few fish though maybe its better to fish it now before it gets hectic :D

Might be a bit hectic this weekend alright. As soon as the schools are off at the end of May it is normally Bananas

Well done on the mack especially if you caught it on rag!!.
The last time I was there it was full of young chavs in lacoste and nike trackies drinking dutch gold listening to some techno on the blaster while lashing out a few feathers,not really my idea of a fishing trip and I haven't been back,,there were feathers flying all over the place,expect it will be the smae for the Summer months.
