There are a few good marks to try near the old Kingsferry Bridge.
The slipway under the bridge, which can be located just off the road that takes you to Ridham Dock. This is used to launch the many speedboats and jet ski that frequent the Swale. :sad2:
There is some parking but this has changed lots since the new bridge.
The best way to fish this spot is to work a plug, red gill or some similar sort of lure to draw a bass. The bass do grow to some decent sizes because of the regular food source available to them. If you should decide to leger for other species, then be aware that there are a few snags to grab your gear. Or trot a float rig down towards the bridge for the bass. Some wrasse have been caught here in recent years.
The Dock Wall can be found by following the Ridham Dock road to the end where there is a sort of industrial estate where you can park the car up, just before entering the site. Look to the river side of the road where you will see a gap in the hedgerow with some steps leading up the bank. Follow this track to the river and then head off to the left where you will see a point on the mouth of a dock. The water here is very deep, in fact, up to 80 feet in places. So if you like deep water, this is the mark for you. Despite the depth of water, it is recommended to lure fish for bass that live there as well as the usual legering for all other species. Eel also play a big part of the catch, so bait up with crab for best results.
Flounder Bank is a bit trickier to find carry on over the bridge on the A249 until you see a little turning on the right-hand side, signposted Nature Reserve. Take this turning and follow it to the end where you will reach the Swale. Park up anywhere around there and walk to the left where you will see a point creating a kind of bay between it and the car park. Fish anywhere along this stretch for flounder that feed there on the flooding and ebbing tides. This spot is in fact a favourite match venue for the locals who hold regular flounder matches here. Tactics are simple as all you need is lug, rag or crab on a three-hook flapper to tempt the flatties.
These are just a few spots. As scorp has said its not as good as it once was, but there are still fish there. Some big (doubles) bass, lots of mullet in summer.
