Done Southend pier the other month, and the other fourm I belong too has many Southenders on there.

Codling, Small Dabs & Whiting are being caught - poss Cod too.

Access during the daytime is £3.75 all day, peir closes @6

You can buy a all nighter ticket, but must be NSFA registered and costs a whopping £45

Parking for the day will be £7, literally all along the sea front.

There are 2 bait shops nearby, one almost opposite the peir entrance, one approx half mile to the left as your looking at the sea.

You can by lug - best ring them in advance to book it, but they stock frozen mackrel/squid etc.

2 or 3 hook flappers seem to work well
