This time of the year you can fish anywhere on the pier from 1800 hrs to 0200 hrs, and the end of the pier all day. In the peak season you can only fish the whole pier from 2300 to 0200 hrs, as before you can fish the pier end all day. I am not to sure about actual club matches, but the xmas one I do know is going to be a good one, the more the merrior as all cash collected is going to be paid out plus a rake of prizes from the shop as well.
