As you can see the pier at Walton offers a good variety of fish, and the methods that go to catching them. You don’t need special equipment normal beach gear will be suitable for most occasions. But you will need a fishing pass for the pier, day permits are available on the pier, you carry on fishing and someone will be round to collect the money, currently £5 a day. A season permit is required to fish night times, these can be obtained from the local tackle shop, again currently they cost £55 a year.
