Sandown

Float fishing from the pier during the summer months produces mackerel,garfish,pollack and the occasional Mullet,use small strips of mackerel or a sliver of sandeel for the mackerel and garfish,ragworm for the pollack and bread for the mullet.Bottom fishing during the day can produce plaice and bass,while at night pout,sole and painted ray can be had.
Fishing from the sandy beaches at Yaverland is best done at night,as the beaches get extremely crowded.Castng long distance with rag or lugworm can produce plaice,sole,bass and pout.
Walking eastwards towards Redcliff the sea bed becomes increasingly rocky and the quality of fishing improves.
Further east still and you come to Whitecliff Bay,a small bay of sand,shingle and rock.A spot worth trying for plaice,sole,mullet and bass.
