As good a place as anywhere to start. Easy free parking, cafe, loo's and safe. Bonus being there's a few flounders to be had and talk of Bass if your luck is in. Let us know how you get on.

Hi, Love that expression "haven't a scubby" they used to say that at work a lot 🙂. First tip, don't bother with expensive rods and reels because the fish don't know what you paid. Mackerel as a bait - everything likes mackerel. Start with small hooks - size four. Pick a sandy beach and away you go. Leave the rock slippy marks until you know what your doing. Gordon and I have some videos of the beaches around the north east of Scotland. Last tip, just enjoy it - fishing is good for you. Phil

Thanks Tommo. The new creel is much better suited for what I need and will be going down to Cornwall with me later in the year. Phil.

Fit Lyke as my local freens would say. Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm not sure about the sea safety ticket but the weather has been almost as cold recently :)

Thanks Dave, Spring and warmer weather is hopefully just around the corner. Phil.

Thanks Douglas. Think it would be good place to launch the kayak. Phil.

Hi. Thanks for commenting and taking time to watch the video. Phil.

Thanks for watching my friends video Monty old chap, I think my friend is more than likely more Scottish than yersel old boy, if you are inerested in fishing go get yersel a rod and reel and get oot there, it will do you the world of good and help make yourself content inside and less likely to send silly comments online, tak care ma loon gweed health and tight lines tae yea 🎣🐟🐟🐟

Thanks James. Well done with the result in your last match 🫡 Tight lines Phil.

@anotherangleUK Thank you mate,

Hi Pete, thanks for the comments. No problem about the fly casting it's certainly an area for improvement. I think you and the kids would love Collieston Harbour. Nice safe little mark. Cheers Phil.

Thanks Jamie, much appreciated pal. Tight lines Phil.

Thanks Darren, I think it has potential for launching the kayak and getting around the headland in the summer. Phil.

@anotherangleUK definitely Phil, looks perfect 👌

Hi Bob, that was my first time fishing Collieston. The locals tell me there are good Conger to be had in the channel into the harbour. I think casting directly out has lots of potential when there's less colour in the water. In the summer it can be very busy with paddle boarders and kids jumping off harbour wall. It is however a lovely little fishing village and worth a visit. Phil

They are friendly folk in the village, a couple came down to chat. I believe a few are holiday lets but majority are full time homes. Glad it brought back memories.

@anotherangleUK That is heartening indeed to hear the majority are full time homes. Best, Mark

Thanks. There was more stuff in the car - I'd brought the drone but didn't fly it as the wind speed was too high. I'm surprised we didn't get any interest on the baits we cast out beyond the rocks. Next adventure is just around the corner. Cheers Phil.

@ There was mair stuff in my car also 😂

@@kintakintyea That'll be the 'just in case' stuff 🤣

@anotherangleUK 😂😂 Aye you got it! 😂😂

Hi, The sky was blue but the wind was cold. I'm sure winter isn't over but I can't wait for Spring and better conditions. Stay warm over there on Vancouver Isle. Phil.

Thanks. We are lucky to be able to fish these lovely little harbours. Phil

Hi Colin, I'm sure the new creel will be an improvement in many ways. I hope to get out and make a video soon. The creel was made by Jason at Broadsea Hooks who can be contacted via Facebook. Phil.

Hi, thanks for the positive comments. Don't worry, I can't wait to get back out on the kayak. Didn't get out last year due to the shoulder operation. I've had great success catching Mackerel out of Stonehaven in late July / August when you'll find them off Downie Point. The next good launch is Catterline. Have a look at the videos. I've had Codling, Ling, Pollock and Wrasse jigging a lure directly under the kayak. There's also Mackerel there as well down towards the lighthouse. Stay safe out on the water. Phil.

Hello Tim, great to have you aboard for the adventures. That was a cold night we had at Inverbervie but the fish we caught helped keep up the spirits. I've another video out next Monday and try to share something on a weekly basis. Phil.

Aye a cracker from the boat but not had one from the shore up here - yet. 😉

@anotherangleUK you will buddy

Thanks. I've seen a few of Highlander boats up close and they appear very well made. Enjoy your boat and stay safe out on the water and catch lots. Phil

Thanks mate. Looking forward to getting back out on the boat, been doing a few maintenance jobs on her over the winter.

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. The three rod set up certainly increases the chance of catching. The two 'beach' rods do have different rigs. The third rod is set up to try different approaches like the flounder spoon, spinner for Bass or Sea Trout etc. I made up a few Wessex rigs last year but haven't tried them yet. It certainly is more effort to carry along with camera tripods.

Funny you should say that, I think the rigs can get over complicated. I'm keeping to basic set ups as they use less components that make it hurt more when you loose a rig in the snags. I guess that's partly why I like clean beach fishing as I usually don't suffer lost tackle. (Can you tell I've lived in both Yorkshire and Scotland 😆). I agree about finding channels and deeper holes for the flounder spoons to search out the fish. Turbot are ambush fish so I was hoping I might have caught one - always next time.

That's good, because I was asked by the owners not to name it on TH-cam. Thanks for watching. 👍

@ I get that. Where I live, near to *****, some fisherfolks leave quite a bit of waste behind which is a bit of a shame. It may have been stopped now as not been out pike fishing for a while. Very enjoyable video though thanks!

I usually have a bin bag in my fishing box and pick their mess up. It's embarrassing fishing surrounded by their rubbish. Thanks for watching, Tight lines.

Agreed! It is so easy and satisfying to take your rubbish home, you shouldn’t have to clear everyone else’s though, well done for doing so❤️

Thanks Douglas. Hope you are okay after the storm hit your side of Scotland. Phil

@ thanks Phil, yeah all okay on the west.

Thanks Tommo. Won't be long before you're back out on your boat having some adventures. Phil

@anotherangleUK doing jobs on it today, bright sunshine here and no wind today

@@fat_tommo_goes_boating Same here, all nice a calm after the storm. Hope you're videoing the boat jobs.

@anotherangleUK we didn't have much of a storm down here, was a bit windy for 4 hours in the early hours then hardly anything all day yesterday. Thursday was windier! Hope your all ok up there

We fortunately only had 50 mph winds. The West and Central areas took the worse of it. i did wonder if we'd loose power but it was fine this time around. Glad you’re okay 'down south'. 😊

Hi Ronnie, Good start to your season. Sounds like you had a great session before the storm. That will have shifted the sand around and created some new opportunities when it all calms down again. Stay safe. Phil.

@anotherangleUK cheers Phil thankyou

Hi Jason, it was good to fish some clean ground again. The outside of the break water there was so snaggy - I don't like loosing any gear at all. Looking forward to using the new creel. Gordon had some good footage of using his camera with his. Phil

@anotherangleUK yeah I would be the same leads aren't cheap to buy. Yeah Gordon had some cracking footage in his creel. Looking forward to your ony tjos year.

Thanks Darren, that one was probably my best for a very long while. Good luck in your 40+ flounder campaign. Phil.

Hi Mark, it's blowing up here but nothing like what's happening over on the West side. Take care mate. Phil.

Thanks David, I'm continually expanding my doric but I'm sure I must be a frustrating student for poor Gordon. It was nice to get out before the storms - it's wild today.

Thanks. That surf rather shouts Bass. I'm thinking I'll leave the shore rods at home and travel light with a lure rod..... You never know what's there do you.

Thank you, I enjoyed fishing this beach. It was quite shallow and I think the surf made it difficult for the flounder to get to the bait. Gordon sent his Water Wolf camera down and you could see the whirlpool going on down there. Phil.

Lull before the storm, wind and rain have arrived in Aberdeenshire 😳

@ 65 mph here in Salcombe last night , normal winter storm , but it looks like you guys are in for a bumpy one , we got a good day out on the water on Wednesday before the storms , albeit freezing out on the water , the bass and pollock were still biting off Salcombe

Sounds like you had a good session. A lot of folks hang up the rods in winter but it's often good fishing - so long as you're wrapped up well.

Thanks. I would go back maybe when there is less swell for the flatties. But, Gordon mentioned some lads had caught a Bass for there. That makes me want to just take a spin rod, small back pack, be mobile and work along the beach to see what I can do.

@anotherangleUK Sounds like a plan has hatched there!

@@bailienicoljarvie2878 So many options around this coast and also my fresh water fishing opportunities as well. We are very fortunate to live in such a wonderful part of Scotland.

@anotherangleUK Indeed, but you also travel far to catch, and have a great variety in your fishing. Great to watch.

Thanks Lenny, been getting a number of these better fish recently. Going to have one for the table next time. Phil

Thanks for the suggestion, I've added that to my list. So many great fishing opportunities around our lovely coast here.

Thanks Gordon, was a cracking day out fishing again. Looking forward to the next session.

@ me too pal 👍🎣🐟🐟🐟

I should really take more home for the plate but I do like to watch them swim off again. If we'd been getting more fish that session I think I would have taken it.

@anotherangleUK That would keep er indoors happy as well lol,

@@jamesatkinsfishing 🤭

Thanks, I was really pleased to catch that one (as you probably could tell). The surf was really stirring things up making the fishing hard. Great session tough 😜

Yes, first comment. I messed up and scheduled the video at 3:00 am not 3:00pm UK time - so you were awake 'over there'. Lovely to hear from you, stay warm. Phil

Thanks, can't wait to return to the Carrick Roads for more boating and fishing.

Glad you enjoy fishing there. I always ask permission to create the TH-cam videos, some places request I don't make public where I'm fishing. I respect their wishes. Thanks for watching and commenting.
