St abbs surfing

[spongebob]

Alright lads took a trip up st abbs yesterday with the hope of a few for me species list. Took a look at my favourite mark and gutted. ......... totally wash out massive swell and white foam everywhere, later got told by local this was because of the large tide and the slight breeze??!. I even trekked and scaled down the steep hill/cliff to try a mark I had my eye on for a few years. That was swamped with foam spray aswell so called it quits here and headed for St abbs harbour for my lrf fun . Got down to harbour and swell was still quite bad at the entrance so stayed right back in the corner where I was out the wind and warm with the sun . Looked like the water was of better clarity here and to my surprise it was swamped with eels!!!!, not long now till the mackys in!. For the next hour or so I was pulling out coalie after coalie biggest bout 10" great fun on me lrf . A 1.5g jig head with either a shirasu pearlescent or a pale yellow twin tail grub first time power isome wouldn't work? ?!! Couple of pics, of the day


Cheers for reading

Well done on getting some fish out of that swell!

Where abouts was your new mark? I've spent days scaling the cliffs and fishing new marks. None seem to be as successful as the "usual" mark though ;-)

Forgot to add as I walked into abbs harbour I noticed a film crew and a man in a wet suit I could of sworn it was one of the hairy bikers. I went and asked a local lad if this was who I thought it was and he started to laugh. ...... na man its the man who owns the marine/divers shop oooer the back but nuuuu ye said it a ken wut ye mean lol . I just laughed and went fishing

Think i know where you mean, it's just round the next corner I know exactly what you mean about the early bath. 15 years of rock and ice climbing i've got has finally come to some use lol
