Anything for a fellow Whistoner 
It`s one of those venues,where you can latch into virtually anything,though there are plenty of times when you can`t get passed the dreaded dogs 
For the past few weeks,it`s been producing rays,and will continue to do so for the rest of summer.In my experience,it tends to fish better on neap to mid range tides,with the hour or so either side of high and low water,being best for rays.Rigs for rays,need to be up n overs,or long pulley pennels,so that you have a long hook link,well away from your main line n sinker,as this won`t spook them as they move in to settle over the bait....best baits are sandeels/mack`/peeler/squid...try various cocktails from those and you won`t go far wrong.Distance can make a difference,but fishing in the right spot is more important...trying to describe exact locations is very difficult,but there`s regular trips down there,by lads from WSF and you`re more than welcome to join us,and see for yourself.
Once the weather warms up,you can have good sport float fishing for wrasse and pollack,plus spinning for mack/pollack....you`ll also see dabs/whiting/gurnard/pouting.
Certain parts are rockier than others,and produce conger and huss...from most marks you are fishing on to a clean sandy bottom,and are only in danger of losing any gear,on the retrieve,when you get close in......warm calm nights are very good for rays/conger/huss,though it`s ideal conditions for dogs too
daytime still produces rays,and is good for float/spinning,but has the added bonus of very few dogs around
If the wind is from the south west,you can expect a big swell,so do not venture too close to the water....get it wrong once and it`s R.I.P
From the parking area,it`s a flat 5 min walk then the climb,which is`nt too bad,providing you have a rucksack...trying to make the descent with a box swinging round your neck,is asking for trouble.
