North pier open about 35 years ago. I am three from the bottom on the right. When I was a little slimmer. :gr

If I remember correctly there was very little caught and most prizes were raffled off, I failed in that too. I even remember I used an Abu 484 and an Abu 12 multiplier. You were under mega pressure casting so I fished mostly straight down or there abouts. For the benefit of any eagle eyes I had stripped the cork handle and rereplaced with black shrink tube.

Fished the jetty a lot in them days, good codling, big whiting, and millions of dabs, there was many top pieces of rods went through the grating when tackling up.
