Eyemouth. Lol. Either that or any of the local rough marks where the is a bit of deep water will chuck a few out aswell. Cullercoats, st Mary's etc...."In order to becomes old and wise, first you must be young and stupid."

Think wrasse are territorial fish mate so should be present all year around. Don't often hear of them being caught though during winter. Give it a go... Only one way to find out! Defo seem to show more in the catch reports though come summerOriginally posted by carlrmc View Post"In order to becomes old and wise, first you must be young and stupid."

You will pick wrasse up any where from shields pier all the way down to roker pier.Comment

St Mary's Island is one of the more consistent shots for wrasse locally. Go on a few hours before high and fish crisps a few hours up and down.Regards Nicky.

Agreed, St Mary's very reliable. As I recall I had wrasse every visit last summer.Comment

you may hear of the odd rare one in the colder months but they prefer warmer clear water. you'll have a far better chance through the summer.Comment

As above, st Mary's, also had some crackers of Hartley Island last summer (watch it as you need a big tide and can get cut off very easily).Comment
