Going to bangor peir this weekend do you know at high tide is and is it all rough ground. Any tips or anything on fishing this area rigs etc

[thompo]

where do you fish on the pier?

ive tried off the platform thing but only managed some tiny whiting :(

[BigPhil]

what do you find to be the best rigs for using on the mini rod for the smaller species?

[Davy Murdoch]

hi hairyconger,high tide is about 3pm so you want to fish when its filling,it fishes best then.the rocks go out about 40 feet then its clean ground.

hi thompo,i fish anywhere on the pier but mostly at the back.

hi phil,best rig is def a stand off loop about 8 inches from the weight,sometimes add a wee bead for attraction. just change hook size to suit species.
