Not planning on giving up. Makes a change from chucking fluff at trout (there's not much else to do in berks). I'll probably be back down here again in a month, so might give whitesands a go then. Cheers. John

 

On its day the breakwater is brilliant, dogs, pollock, coal fish, congers, mini species, flat fish smaller species such as pouting, tadpole fish, mackerel, garfish. Ling, cod and huss have even been caught. The 'inside' facing the harbour is onto clean ground but small fish and congers caught in close and the 'outside' is rough!! But fishing into open water so who know what could turn up, keep trying different spots on different tides and who knows what you'll catch

 

I think djrw means the east breakwater green light which has public access, not the big red light breakwater.

 

You can catch dogs, flatties congers and other smaller species off the end and close to the rocks

Yup, that's the one. I remember having try off the long breakwater about 30 years ago, when that was open to the public too.
