Fishing In Blackpool

[BlackpoolFisher]

Hello,

 

I live in a small village just off blackpool, and have been fishing of the Dartmouth Quay, and Brixham Breakwater in Devon for three years when i am on holiday, i have just bought a new beachcaster, so i can come fishing from home, Can anybody tell me where to fish in blackpool, what tackle/bait to use, and what fish there are to catch, it would be much appreciated, thanks very much,

 

Andy

hi andy and welcome to AN

 

i've fished off one of the piers in times past but I'm not sure if that's still allowed.

 

try off the promenade at high tide fishing near the piers which will provide some fish holding features, or near to rocks which will do the same.

 

rag worm/lob worm fished on a two hook paternoster rigg should pick up flounder whiting and coalfish.

 

others will have more idea.

Thanks alot, have you any idea how to get these worms, and do you know which pier it was?

Thanks

[phil dean]

can't remember which pier though one of the other guys will tell you if you're patient, the site's busiest during the week when we all log on at work.

 

worms can be bought from most sea tackle shops, they'll also be able to give you advice on tackle, riggs and location, but talk more frrly once you've spent a few quid with them, there are a couple at least in blackpool and certainly in Fleetwood, have a look in the yellow pages for numbers

Hi Andy

 

My tip is to fish from top of the tower on spring tides,the sea don't come up that far.

The father in law has lived there for the past 2 or 3 years, there's plenty of dabs, doggies & whiting off the pier, although you may have to be a member of a local club to make the best use of it. Cod only turned up on a few occasions when there'd been a good blow.

thanks,

if you get the chance go on a charter boat from Fleetwood
