New Venue Produces a Blank

As I'm working near Edinburgh for the next few weeks I thought a trip to the beach was in order but didn't fancy trekking into Edinburgh so last Saturday I paid a visit to Musselburgh next door
Called into a tackle shop for some frozen lug but at £6 a pack I changed my mind and got a pack of blueys instead

I fished two hours upto high water but didn't get so much as a bite in the crystal clear waters

I fished next to the harbour wall but next time I'm going to the right and I'll try the estuary instead now I know my way round a bit better












Can't wait to go again after all it would be rude not to

good try you need to find some locals and get some info of them ,do you want some dogfish from here to get the ball rolling up there i will save you a few if you want

Super report again pal I'm sure you'll catch next time

Cheers Phil
I spoke to one local who said there's a seal colony round the corner and the fishing has taken a hit but you know me.... nil desperandum

Mussellburgh

Clue to best bait in the name maybe?

Might be an idea to go further north rather than south,seals are always a pain.
I fished St Tudwells roads off Abersoch and did ok,but round the islands it was crap
because of the seals.They got their knives and forks out when they spotted us,

I used to work near John o Groats 3 or 4 years ago and you'll see them everywhere along that coast line all the way up, nice to see but I'll be happy if they leave one or two fish for me

Hard luck owddd great report there always next time

Good try after all the info i sent you.

If you are stuck for bait you could try the frozen packs of mussel, squid and prawns from the supermarket. I used to feed my fish on them and although the mussels werent as juicy as fresh ones, theyd do in an emergency and cheaper than those prices. Robbing jocks!

Cheers Kev good idea

Great photo and info on the mark.

Cheers Chris hopefully I'll find out where the fish are soon then anyone visiting that way will know where to go

Hope you all appreciate the trouble I go to so you can catch fish

If you do visit the places I've been do the opposite

I love the challenge of new venues
