Hey guys, thinkin of fishin walton pier in the next few days. i was wondering if theres much being caught from off there!? is it better to fish from the top end of the pier or anywhere along the stem? cause ive heard sooo many different stories lol. Also is it still better to fish the ebb? Any info will help! i havent fished it since this time last year so gotta give it ago soon.
Thanks alot, Josh
Night tides are the best, bigger the better.
Top left corner on the flood, cast up into the tide, squid, squid / lug, makeral when whiting about.
On the ebb top right corner when open or top middle & cast to your right slightly up into the tide, hopefully those around you will do the same.
Only fish the leg on the ebb, even 2 to 3 hours down there are fish about.
Tackle, (running trace forget ) leader line to a swivel, small piece of line to
another swivel ( 6 to 8 inches ) , put another swivel with a bead ever side so it can run up & down the 6 to 8 inch line. Take another piece on line appx 2ft long tie it to the bottom swivel the other end tie your weight clip. From the swivel with the beads either side tie your trace line so your hook is just above your weight.
Holland Haven beach fishes pretty good, ebb tide, big tide , night, choose a short groyne between two long groynes, cast out level with the end of the long groyne or just short, lea side so the tide is coming over & around, from your right on the ebb, fish seem to go round the groyne then swim back in, food must be in the sheltered area .
Frinton Wall Apron used to be good until sea defence work, again ebb tide, you had to get down for the flood otherwise no space.
