Hi Steve,

The waters not that deep but I guess it was one of the biggest tides. Can be very dodgy on big swells as they do go over the back wall of the pier. My own experience is that it is plagued with small Pollock and crabs in the summer with the dogfish intermittent. I think it fishes very well after Christmas for whiting and coalies and the odd codling, especially on those very cold calm nights on big tides.
