Anyone on here know anywhere up and down this stretch of coast thats good for fishing.

I live in Jedburgh and am getting fed up of just "heading of down to Eyemouth" and need somewhere else to try out for a change.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi M8,

I live in Stow, not too far from you. We'll have to hook up sometime for a few casts.

I've fished most of the popular marks in and around the East Coast. Personally, I'd avoid Torness & Cockenzie like the plague! I'm of the opinion that Bass nursaries shouldn't be fished, some people who fish these marks just don't give a shit about fish stocks, bag limits and keep sizes angry

As a quick guide:

Eyemouth good for Flatties off the beach, Pollock, Wrasse etc from the rocks. As mentioned previously, bit of a tackle graveyard, especially the kelp forest at the end of the pier.

St Abbs (Harbour), Coalies, Pollock & Wrasse
St Abbs (Head), Pot luck but maybe a Wrasse, Codling, Pollock or Ling!

Coldingham, Porpoise suprise

and not much else

Berwick Upon Tweed, Flatties and the occasional Mackie.Never know, maybe a Salmon or Sea Trout!

North Berwick, blanked to date !!!

Drop me a mail sometime: netghost@dsl.pipex.com
