Hi, I've been at Anstruther a few times but never seen the tide so far out. Was it a spring tide or have I just been unlucky? ( Would be good to know where to cast)

Well done on a nice mixed bag looked like a fair bit of wind there, good bit it's not a place you have to break your wrists casting huge distances , a short lob and hold on tight. Would it be worth trying on light rods and reals or just to weedy?
@michaelbird3226Ай бұрын
Thank you Robert, yeh the wind picked up a fair bit into the sesh but where we were it had a bit protection with the wall there.. Yes it is a place you don't have to cast far out but i found that out about quite a few fishing areas you don't need to cast way out. Just watch kids fishing. There are quite a few guys go down there with spinning rods and lures mainly for mackie but also for pollock i have seen a few caught that way down there. There is a lot of weed down there but you can work through it with care. The heavy gear comes into play during the winter for cod which Anstruther is known for as a good place to get cod.
