fished from 12 til 7 with my mates mathaz and mooseboy65 fishing was none existent until about 3 when moose hooked into a couple of good sized mackys then decided to hunt for some plaice so at about 6 i hooked into a just under 2lb plaice first and only fish between me and mathaz but happy as its a new species and a pb for me

nice fish louis,giv them mackys to our lasses da,he loves it,we get up craster or eyemouth soon,try for few pollock,want to try to catch a wrasse or 2,get bit advice on lads on here about where best to go,
 
welldone on a nice spotty ,the wrasse are easy pickings ,flick ya rig out and wait till it settles down the side and wait for them taps ya sharp nah when its on they like a rocket ,or the float option is another good sport just adjust ya drop length
 
Cheers lads pretty pleased myself cheers for the advice coddy do u know if our coast fishes pollock and wrasse well
the closest ive fished for wrasse is beadnelle and hit them right a hour or 2 before low water on knackers hole ledges is best to give ya a chance floating or ledgering but the flatter the better but i wud advise wearing waders but not had great success on decent pollock ;)
