[@TheKennoway]

Brilliant videos. Just spotted myself in this video :)

[@michaelbird3226]

Fame at last lol, if anyone is fishing around me when i am filming there's a good chance they will end up on the video. I normally scan around if anglers are around esp if they catch fish.

[@anglerjohn2932]

you are a brave man fishing in that weather, not many guys fish for mackerel your way, I thought the seals would grab them. I had one on the end of my line there the other day, didn't half pull my rod, I ended up with a fish head.they are well fed seals

[@michaelbird3226]

I had travelled over there was not gonna give up without a shot. Normally the seals do grab them but i think that is mainly of the point a lot of guys fish along there so easiest place to pick them of. Aye when the seals hit it's a bit of a shocker there's a seal in Burntisland it used to be able to take fish right of hook/spinner with getting caught itself.

Thank you glad you enjoyed it. A fish doesn't need to be big to have good fun with them.

[@johngeddes8069]

really like your videos but do you ever fish Usan - am going there tomorrow ( 2-2-2022 )

[@rodneyharris7246]

That's a nice catch and another great video. I think you should definitely spoil yourself and get yourself some new wet weather gear. It looked like you had an awesome day in Methil!!!

[@michaelbird3226]

Thanks Rodney, it was a good day out fish wise. I was glad the bad weather didn't hang around all day, the new floatie is on the cards that'for sure.

[@rodneyharris7246]

Is Methil far from Dundee? Does it take you long to drive there?

[@michaelbird3226]

Methil is around 30 miles from Dundee, takes about 45 minutes or so to drive there with a clear go at it ,rush hours can slow things down a bit.

[@williamcallaghan6532]

When are the mackerel in methill docks mate

[@MrTamHare]

Where is best to park up to fish from the dock? I used to fish hear and under the bridge behind leven baths at the power plant as a kid with my grandad. Can you still fish behind the power plant aswell? Looking to take the daughter up for some fishing nastalger

[@michaelbird3226]

If you head into Methil docks head down past East Fife football ground thdre is a road or should i say trac to you right. Follow this and it will take you to a rough paved area where you can park. The track is not the greatest but carefull driving will get you there. I'm not sure about behind the power plant ,ic you mean where the water outlet was i'm not sure on that not tried that area for years. Ii used to fish under the bridge where the trucks would enter power station myself. At that time huys had their boats tied up along the wall. Hope this helps.

can you fish all the length of the pier

[@michaelbird3226]

Yes you can, but by law you are not meant to be on it in the first place but nobody bothers you.

[@davepaterson5020]

can anyone remember ma m8 Tam Bradford noo he could catch fish aff the dock wa

[@michaelbird3226]

I remember Tam used to fish with him at Methil docks. He was some angler and boy he could cast. I'm sure i bought my first Abu rod of him also Abu 6500 after he seen me messing up with a mitchel 602.
