Anything to do with fishing the east coast of Scotland
Feb 20th – Aberdeen
A nice bit of wild weather rock fishing in search of Aberdeenshire codling – good fun in stormy conditions, with half a dozen pan-sizd fish as a result.
8th August – Dunbar
Codling city off Dunbar – loads of them, although lacking in size. Nice lazy drift up the coast in almost perfect conditions for most of the morning – if only it were like this more often 🙂
1st August – St. Andrews
A good species day – 9 in all – from Ian’s Raider, with some respectable sized codling although not in huge numbers.
17th June 2010 – Dunbar
A great morning out of Dunbar – decent codling, ling and pollack to show for it, as well as a suntan. Makes a change from windburn!
13th June 2010 – St Andrews
Away up to St Andrews today, for my first east coast coddie session of the year (late or what!). Fished with Ian and Tim from Ian’s Raider a few miles east of the harbour, trying a number of marks. However we all struggled to make much of an impact with only a handful of small fish… Continue reading 13th June 2010 – St Andrews
13th January 2010 – Aberdeen
An after-dark coddie session from the cliffs. Only three fish winched 50 feet above a raging sea to show for my efforts, but a good night for all that.
27th November 2009 – Aberdeen
A fair heap of late season wrasse from Findon, on crab left over from smoothie fishing down the Solway earlier in the year. Only a single codling appeared, but it was a lovely day to spend lazing away on the rocks before winter descends properly.

Weather: Overcast, with light-mod NE wind. Cool at times Sea Conditions: OK, but moderate NE swell building to 4 feet or so over the afternoon Time Spent: 1230-1930 Tides: Approx 2130 Fished off Ian’s boat, with Tim for company. First off was a lengthy stop to try and bulk up the winter mackerel supplies –… Continue reading 13th September 2009 – St Andrews

Weather:Light NW wind, dry and largely sunny – clouding over later Sea Conditions: Calm Time Spent: 10:30 – 17:30 – 7 hours Tides: 11:58 GMT 1.6m Another disappointing day, although slightly better than yesterday.
