where do u reckon is most productive on the pier in ure opinion?
When ive been down there, ive fished for squid off the left hand side (if u are facing the very point of the pier.)
if the swell is calm ill stand on the lower platform but otherwise cast from main stretch of the pier. (i can never seem to get a spot off at the very end when the squid r going off...theres always a bunch of very territorial guys claiming that section;-),
but i guess being squid, theyll pop up anywhere around that pier.
cheers for the report![/quote]
The end is the more productive spot to fish, but only marginally better than the sides. I've seen big ones come up from most spots past the gate. If I cant squeeze in at the end (which you can do most times with a bit of pitch casting and friendly arguments. it works out eventually) then I'll go either side 10-20 meters from the end.
When the big ones are scarce, it's better to fish from the sides, as you can cast out your floats and then work a jig on the side, which on some day's is much more productive. Very rarely will you get room at the end to cast and retreive.
Dave.
