Hi,

I have fished it a lot in the past but the whole bay seems a shadow of its former past. Used to be great for decent whiting on really cold calm nights with plenty of coalies and the odd small coddling.
Would love to know what the guys are getting over at the Moy this time of year? Please PM me as I would walk it if I thought it worthwhile. Should be up there just before new year.

used to fish it a lot

plagued by crabs - lots of conger over the back of the wall - at the elbow of the pier - usually found it best for them on the drop bout half way down

seen some nice fish took , but blankety blanked as often or more often than not
