6. THE OUTFALL JETTY        

        Many anglers plump for the outfall pier however you'll need a drop net for the large Bass! Try from the beach casting alongside the pier for many species in particular Pout, Bass and Mackerel. The current is fierce here use a 6oz gripper weight if there's not too much drifting weed. Cuttlefish chunks under a float may work for Bass.
