I haven't tried it, but as far as I know, it's not fishing too well.

There hasn't been many good reports off it this year, you would be better off trying the South beach or at the back of the driving range, can be good fishing here at times and should be plenty of dogs and flats about and your in with a chance of the occasional red cod, plaice and bass also :)

Rag, mac, sandeel & crab are good baits here in summer and you dont need to cast to the horizon either as there's a strong run that comes pretty close to the beach here.

cheers lads i taught as much.

we've been driving fair distances and have had poor sessions so trying to think of somewhere closer to home for midweek sessions.

was down by the golf course on sat night for an hour or so and we got 2 plump codling but the weed and current was too much. might give it another shot tonight.

Tide Rip was savage over the weekend due to the very big tides.... Should be a lot better this evening, hopefully you'll get a few fish

fished north beach a few weeks ago myself, plenty of fish doubles of pollock and coalies to single mac strips 30-40 yards out, all in the 30-40cm range, a few mackerel mixed in as well, dogs, codling and whiting at distance. a surprise or two for a certain mr shaneh. better fishing there then the south beach at the minute and thankfully far less weed 8)
