Waterfoot Pier

Is the fishing effected much, in and around low water at this mark? Just that myself and drew are heading there tomorrow and we may possibly be fishing through low water? Hopefully we'll do better than our last appearance when we caught nothing. :twisted:

not sure about the pier as i dont fish it much at all, perhaps worth giving the rocks a chuck up at the left of the slipway at cushendall boat club or at dalriada avenue - there are a few plaice going at the minute, not many tho

the pier is hit or miss at low water but you should give the ledges a throw we had a good day last sunday...some good plaice and coalies about and garron point congers and pollock

Lads - If you are heading to this neck of the woods, there are a wealth of marks to fish -

Red Bay Pier (large pier beside coal depot) - can fish well even at low tide, flatties, gurnard etc..

The Ledges (2 miles before Waterfoot) - bit of a tackle graveyard at Low Tide but is producing decent plaice at the minute...

Dalriada Jetty and the rocks all around it

Garron Point - see the post from Stuart Langridge from Saturday.

If you need any directions, Drew has my number or PM me.

Reason we are looking a pier lads is because my dad (he is driving us) is disabled and i was thinking that Waterfoot may possibly be the best access for him, cheers for your input.

that makes an obvious difference then livid :idea:

Red Bay pier is your best bet - easy access, flat ground and a bit of shelter.

If this mark is busy or not fishing well - head for Dalriada Jetty - just slightly more difficult than Red Bay pier for access but well worth a go. Come into Cushendall from Waterfoot - take the first right after the Fire Station (Dalriada Ave/Park?), travel all the way down this street until it opens up onto the shore, there is a small jetty on the left behind a wall.

If the tide is high on the way home, you can fish Carnlough Beach from the promenade, anywhere from the new church to the Ballymena Road offers clean ground, again, easy access - your pops should not have any problems.

Thanks all for the advice, stonking day, Not many fish but worth every minute. 8)
