The source says Baggy Point can produce spectacular fishing but access to the marks involves climbing down rocks, and the area can be extremely dangerous: never fish it in anything approaching bad weather, as swells can swamp the marks and even light rain makes the rocks dangerously slippery. It is best fished in daylight and good weather with someone who knows the area. A huge range of species is possible, with bull huss, dogfish, pouting, gurnard, codling and others taking bottom fished baits, and big conger going for a bottom fished mackerel flapper or squid. Mackerel are caught on daylights or feathers in summer, and pollock and bass on spinners and bottom fished baits. Seasons are set to all year where the source gives none. The map pin is on the Baggy Point headland path.
