Sounds like a good 4 hours fishing.

Can you give me some info on bton pier,ive heard you have to pay for a spot,is this right?

If so how much etc and whats the best bait to use there.

Im guessing you got the mackies on feathers?

There is free parking at the multi storey car park (ignore the 4 hour limit).

If you're fishing the East arm, best bet is to drop off a mate with the gear at the beginning of the arm and then drive back to and park in the multi storey and leg it back to the arm. Otherwise it's a long walk from the car park with all your gear.

I have seen people fishing on the arm/wall next to that car park.
Have you ever fished there? is it any good?

I'm very interested in trying out Brighton marina!
Perhaps the next day with nice weather!

I am fairly new to sea fishing, do you think I would catch using feathers + spinners or would you recommend just a plain and simple float with mackerel bait.

I'm not sure which would be best considering I have a 9.6ft coarse fishing rod and only a 4lb line. I'm hoping to buy a sea rod, I've started saving up for one :

edit - do you reckon monday or wednesday next week look good?

dont forget that you have to pull the fish up the wall,last time down there we got lots of mackerel on the float with bits of mackerel as bait chance of gars as well always cheek to see if the marina is open call the tackle box to find out
