where to fish - newport cardiff etc - tide heights   
Hi
I wonder if anyone can tell me where to fish suitable to the height of the 
tide.  I found a type of map on the net once, showing the marks around 
Newport and Cardiff and required heights - anyone have this?
any info appreciated

Depends what car I suppose. No one really looks at my old volvo. You can
actually park in the industrial estate further down (just before the
entrance to the dock area), and there is a way through between the
industrial buildings - you'll see it if you go down there. As you turn into
the industrial estate (Foreshore Road) , take your first next left and park
around there (further down is a lovely big sign saying "no access to the
foreshore). . But I've never had any trouble at either place.
