Just be careful there mate
But hairy for to young or to old.
Watch for any freak waves deep ding what side your on.
Head towards the two towers and stay to right.
Go around cliff and climb down rope.

Great place for them ok.

Mackerel [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES] bass at certain times [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES][SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]
Wrasse pollack.
Please though mate be careful there. Don't drag to much gear with you and never go alone as a slip can mean a broke ankle and if on your own that's trouble
