Mullet, Bass, Pollack, Brill, Conger and believe it or not Herring. I had a go twice with fly rod for bass, but nothing. Saw some kids catching herring on small feathers, which freaked me a bit. I did suggest they use them for live bait for Bass, but they were taking them to eat. A lot of people been saying last two summers have been quiet.. I got a few kilos of nice sized Mussels out of there in the summer and they made good eating. I have been told Float fishing Rag work at night catches the bass. Hope this helps Sludge.
Spedger
It does , many thanks , I have heard that conservation minded anglers will wait at the weigh ins at the echo seamasters competition and put back any fish still alive into the dock , having been to one of these weigh inns there must be congers and dogfish in thereQuote:

better fishing at night, float fishing rag will get Pollack, bass and a few other varieties
Are any of the little railed areas fishable ?, Is it best to go as fatr left as possible or will any of them fish ?Quote:

Is it deep ? Many snags ?

2nd to last jetty on left if your back is to morrisons is where the sand used to get loaded..so the bottom there is sandyish....would not bother casting out at all...just a flick out 5 yards towards the other jetty...maybe the same in the other direction. It's deep enough there and only the odd snag
at the very far left there is a hole in the fence which you can go through and get to some other decent spots...dock security will turn a blind eye..but I wouldn't go in the dark as I don't know my way .....
Many thanks , someone told me down Barry angling there are congers to twenty pound in thereQuote:

if you use size 4 hooks on the flapper...head hook the worm........wouldn't bother with big hooks
used to fish that area and slightly around the corner, by the steps going upto the Island ( are they still there ? ?? ) i dont know if they have built on the area now, i know my mum said they were building a Prem inn down that way ? ? ?
the lock going into the dry dock was always a good spot aswell
Wrasse, Gobi's and Ell's were always catchable, whiting aswell
Cheers guys
The steps are closed off now as it's one huge building site. Premier inn has been there few years now.Quote:
