Where to fish
|
|
Deal Pier
A popular place to fish with benches lining the length of
the pier as well as a number of shelters and access for wheelchairs.
According to local anglers, fishing for mackerel, garfish,
mullet, pollack and sole is popular in summer. In winter,
whiting and codling tend to make up the bulk of catches.
|
The
Beach
Fishing is possible along most of the beach from the remains
of Sandown Castle on the north of Deal to Kingsdown in the south.
Much of the beach is steeply banked pebbles going onto sand.
The groynes on the section of beach between Deal Pier and Sandown
Castle are said to be a good place to fish for sole, flounder
and school bass in summer; whiting, codling and dabs in winter;
and pout throughout the year - especially in the last hour of
ebb and and the first hour of flood tides. |
