West End beach

An ideal venue when targeting Plaice and Flounder. We love fishing on here. Its a simple 15 minute walk out from the promenade. It fishes best on the flood. Make sure you have plenty of bait. Only fish this venue on small to mid size tides. There is not enough water left on the bigger tides.
