Had a few peelers left so decided to have a ramble out at Harrison Drive to fish low water.It`s a fair old walk,and you have to cross a very wide gulley to get there

If you like peace n quiet then this is the mark to fish plus you`re into very deep water at close range

It was action all the way,with a fish a chuck (only using a single hook rig with a big crab bait)...thought i`d snared a schoolie,but it turned out to be a small codling


Plenty of quality plaice showing as well

Finished the session off with another codlet

When I was down there last weekend I parked up by the Leasowe end of Harrison Drive and looked out to see a single big channel which ended at the T-shaped breakwater. Is this the one you had to cross?

It was three hours before low (8.2-2.3m tide) and the bank on the other side was only just beginning to show, so after a short wait to see what would happen I went to fish the first water I got to. It didn't look like the channel ebbed enough to safely get out onto the bank from the T-groyne area (at least when it was light enough to see it), but I never tested the depth of it so what do I know?

If you park where you did,you walk out from the end of the breakwater,and head in the 11o`clock direction,crossing the big gulley....if you have chest waders you can get out a bit earlier....normal waders and you`re looking at 2 1/2 hours before low and you`ll just make it it`s a bit creepy doing it at night don`t stay any longer than 1/2 hour after low or you`ll get cut off

Cheers Kev Laaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I won't be going out there on me own at night, then!

Hi all

Hey seems like Harrison drive is doing well at the moment. Get in!!!

Ok without sounding too much like a numpty! Does this venue fish well at High tide from the wall?? or is all the decent action at low tide where a bit of a trecky is in order??

This Gulley thats been mentioned, would you suggest wadders to get across it?? How deep is the water we are talking about??

Cheers lads

( sorry for the hundred and one questions )

Harrison Drive is not worth thinking about at high water.....you don`t have to do the long walk to the channel if you don`t want...there`s plaice coming out by the post at the clown roundabout...if you do the long walk,you are better off with chest waders,as you can obviously get out there sooner....from 2 1/2 hours before low,it`s prob gunna be around waist high....the further you walk to the right to cross the gulley,the shallower it is......to be honest,you`re better off not going alone,or if you don`t know the mark.....stick to the clown
