Fishing at pier few weeks ago. Only few small coalies. But lots of baiting. Maybe my hooks vas to big.
My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

Hi, haven't fished there in quite a few years, but always had a few coalies and poorcod close in the the pier, pouting and codling to 30cm at a bit of distance to the right off the end of the pier. Use size 1 or 2 hooks anything larger and you'll miss bites. Try to fish it over high tide too, spring tides usually best at the pier over winter as larger fish come in a little closer. Mackerel and squid are good baits, and if you can get hold of lugworm even better.

Good luck and I hope ye both catch.
