East Coast Scotland

[etivejunkie]

Was thinking of heading to the east coast this weekend for some cod bashing, however the weather hasn't been kind! so do you guys think it would be worth while having a go, or should i just head up to etive for some spurs n thornies?

[jim doyle]

try the marks between stonie and aberdeen I hear they have been fishing quite well

[arthurcodsbody]

Try the likes of Usan / Boddin (low tide) and behind the nightclub in arbroath after dark on a big tide all have been fishing well in recent weeks, usual stuff lug/mussle and squid baits will see you right. remember your rotten bottoms serious rough ground around usan and boddin. Ethie mains also a good bet but havn't been their for a bit so couldnt tell you what its been like.

Etivejunkie was up at loch etive on sunday caught nothing were do you think the best place to fish is? We fished at the church but i thought that was shallow so we went down this track that takes you to a house and fished there.

fished at inverbervie on saturday and had 10 cod for approx 35lb. water was coloured after winds during the week. the match last week the cliff marks around arbroath fished really well.

you could do worse than try rumness, red head, victoria park or ethie mains.... if it remains calm ie west winds go to the deeper marks near Aberdeen.

Surprisingly, eve anstruther fished well last week, with a few doubles kickin about. And my mates partner lost a double trying to lift it up the wall... Been a few cracking bags for some lucky folk lately. Etive Junky, Try sticking to the bigger tides if possible....

keith,

better marks east of the quarry. deeper water within casting distance.

the quarry area has gone very quiet in recent weeks.

Keith,

I gotta agree with dale, the marks beyond the quarry are best with very deep water, would only fish the church(priory) at night...... normally only when it's calm....... if your gonna fish beyond the quarry take care on the track as it's rough to say the least....... (try clipping a starlight onto your snood near the hook, even if fishing in daylight it's dark at that depth anyway) both marks fish well for spurs and thornies on their night, but the rocks beyond the quarry are superb for pollack in summer!

That's odd! When he dropped it, he told her it as 7 or 8 lbs.

 

I'll let Kenny tell you how many cod he and I caught...
