1. THE FERRY BOAT             

       Bass can be caught from the surf over East Winner bank particularly on spring tides, otherwise Flounder and Mackerel dominate from the very fast moving current in the harbour entrance. A small running-leger cast uptide and allowed to drift round will usually pick up shoal Bass. The major problem here is drifting weed.

2. THE INN-ON-THE-BEACH        

       Long steep shingle beach gives way to sand after 10 yards or so. A long cast with a wishbone rig will pick up nice Plaice in Spring, otherwise expect Bass year round particularly after a 'blow' to Limpet baits. Sole can be caught on a low rising tide particularly after dark.

3. THE COAST-GUARD STATION        

        Steep shelving shingle punctuated by groynes - try dropping your bait alongside or at the ends. A favoured spot by locals as deep water can be found within easy casting range - hope for Plaice, Flounder and Bass.

4. EASTOKE        

        Recent sea defense work has ruined the beach but improved the fishing! Moderate current beyond the groynes and deep water with a sand/stone sea-bed.

5. EASTOKE POINT         

        A quiet and improving mark due to the recent addition of rocky groynes which trap food and provide a haven for many species. The main channel with a deep very fast moving current runs just beyond the groynes, between them it's moderate. Try a float rig or rolling leger from the groynes into the main channel or between them for Bass and Codling. A favourite spot is in front of the Sailing Club which also produces small Smooth hounds and Black-Bream in summer.
