Fort Vic

This old Victorian fort is situated about a mile west of Yarmouth.It is an ideal spot for a family fishing trip,there is a large barbeque area,cafe,gift shop and marine aquarium on site.
Casting from the wall puts your bait into water up to 50feet deep.The tide run is extremely fierce,on the ebb,so fishng is best over low water and during the last few hours of the flood,but short casting a large fish bait can produce some good Bass.
Other species caught here include pout, bream,cod and the occasional conger.During the summer, mackerel often come within casting distance and can be caught on feathers towards high tide.
To the west,the beach towards Fort Albert is shallower and is a well known Sole mark.Lugworm or rag are both equally effective for these,when fished on a calm evening tide.
To the east, runs Norton wall,species caught here are mainly small wrasse,pollack,bream,bass and dogfish.
