Hastings Pier Fishing

Dave’s Fishing Spot Tips

My biggest issue with this pier has always been weed. While I’ve sat next to others fishing who didn’t have a problem, for some reason it seemed attracted to my rig like some kind of green and brown magnet.

Otherwise it is a nice pier to fish from. Some good mullet and pinkie snapper catches at times.

Has a lovely “seaside holiday town” quality to the whole area year round.
