Fair play for putting this up ,, it can be very dangerous for boat or shore anglers and it can come out of nowhere I start checking the weather a couple of weeks before a trip,, it can be a tricky bit of coast around there 👍

[@elkayakfish]

I have a good mindset around mistakes. Life is too short to make them yourself so learn from others. Its about promoting a learning culture I guess. Its a tricky coast to forcast for sure. Thanks for watching

I would never have launched into that big swell , scary ...

[@elkayakfish]

Yeah for sure. The bay was actually not that bad but still probably worse than I go out in now. Learning was had. Thanks for watching

Hi - Just came across your channel. I live in North Berwick and am a keen forager and also love lure fishing (not that I'm great at it). Given the locations in your videos I'm assuming you're very local. Fancy a coffee and a chat? We share the same philosophy in terms of conservation, and opinions on poachers/guerilla fishing. No pressure ... just would be interesting to chat to someone with such similar interests and maybe exchange some ideas.

[@elkayakfish]

Hello, Thanks for watching. This sounds like a great excuse for a trip to steampunk for a coffee! If you find me on instagram @elkfphoto we can arrange something
