Well done keith, im after one of those beauties when i go to Eyemouth on the 21st, hoping its not to early but its the only chance i might get this year, thinking of hairy ness and callercove point? Havent got "the crouch" to hand so not sure of the last one!
 
Jamie the first one might be more productive if you can wing it a long way and catch some fresh run fish. Callercove Point might prove to be a bit early, unless you mean the 21st August lol. Good luck either way.
 
Cheers stores, fished the cannons last year and liked the look of hairy ness, cant chuck miles but i'll give it a go, was thinking of bait fishing at distance off the end of the ness and spinning on the inside. All of this is weather and baby permitting! Our lass is due a fortneet later, twitchy ass time!
 
Nice one Keith..Lived in North Berwick when I was a youngen..where abouts was the shot you caught it..In front ov the old swimming pool,or on the rocks in front ov the man made paddling pool..Can remember catchin Mullet off the old pier 30 yrs ago..Ah the good old days,plenty ov fish, Iron bru and puddin suppers lol

Nice fish well done. Fished Crescent rocks W/bay Thurs 21:00 till 02:30 . 1 decent flounder & not a thing after that . loads of weed /crabs kept going tho thinking things will improve when tide turns but it did,nt . however we were entertained by 4 skinnydippers 2 lasses 2 lads (did,nt look at the lads) took no notice of us when we warned them of the dangers of going in to the sea full of booze & freezing cold water .carried on fishing but caught nowt more . lovely night tho , but thats what we do is,nt it keep trying . HAPPY EASTER TO ALL . Mel
 
Lived in North Berwick when I was a youngen..



caught the fish and most fish this season off the Flat Rock to the east of the harbour, short casts no more than 25yds seemed best..the chippy is still ok when its busy and the seabird centre attracts a lot of visitors but the old outdoor pool is gone
