going to arbroath

[wrassetler]

11LB Polllack!!!

You mate caught an 11lb Pollack from the shore at Arbroath???!!!. Very impressive.

[crack-off!]

It is not at all unusual to get pollock at Arbroath,in the last 2 years at least 2 opens have been won with 25lb+ bags of pollock from Ethie.There all a decent size up there too.

Try this

I can vouch for Morgan not making the comp the next day.....think he tried a drinking comp with one of the local down and outs instead!!!.
Try auchmithie harbour which is a couple of miles north of Arbroath. When you get there you will see the old harbour which is about the size of craster. Go to the right and you will see a large rock sticking up. Get on that and cast directly infront about 60 yds. Its kelpy but got good fish there. Big baits and strong simple snoods/hooks.
You could also try Ousen mains (near the lighthouse) if there is sea on as that was quite productive as well. Watch the swells though!!.

Stevie, your right about them swells, 3 years ago i was fishing at the blow hole at usan when i was hit by a swell knocked me of my feet and down a 5ft ledge, this was on my first cast, my chesties had to be binned my rod had to be sent away for repair, my brand new jacket had to be sent away for repair and i had to go to hospital for stitches in my hand, ended up in montrose getting drunk on vodka redbulls. it cost me around £200 to cast out for 10 minutes and someone else to reel in for me. (be carefull).
