- With the Cod season coming to a close and fish becoming more sparsely dispersed, I thought that I would be a good idea to mix it up and try a new setting, targeting some different species of fish.
In this video, I spend 3 days hunting for whatever will take a bait, fishing some of the various pier and breakwater marks from the north of Edinburgh.
Unlike some of my videos, in this case, persistence pays off!
Tight lines 🎣,
Enjoy!
This was a 3 mile drive from when you stay? Where are you from?, I’m in Bathgate. Give me a shout some weekend you are next heading out 👌👍
Great video and a new subscription for myself! I’m sure you’re in the know but be careful flying a drone over Queensferry crossing due to the proximity with the airport! Keep the vids coming 💪🏼
I lived round the corner from granton. Short casts win. No more than 20 yards. The fish are in the kelp and rocks at the foot of the breakwaters. Wrasse, cod, coalie, seatrout, list goes on..... use lug or fresh mackerel. Slider float works well too.
Well what can I say you are one crazy angler but I enjoyed your vids very much keep them coming and stay safe... Tight lines.
ayyy this reminded me off when i was at granton college lol, and only fished there once or twice since i only fly fish now, but good vid nice to see a vid of areas im familiar with
Had good flounder there too
Omg i love your dedication. How about a session , River Almond at cramond, just above the boat moorings where i started my fishing about 60 years ago .
Great to see a new video & also you hitting the 1K subs!
Well done good Sir!
Thank you sku! Without you I’d still be in the hundreds. Enjoying a cold beer to celebrate 😁😁
Fishing these marks for 100's of hours myself. I've gave up now. There's nothing. Well done on your diseased Dab, the kids won't go hungry tonight.
ahaha ive fished them for the 3 days in this video and can also say ive given up on them. still make a good day out if your not wanting to travel the distance 👍
@@UntouchedFishing My excitement was as yours was, wow, great marks, but the sea is fakely empty on the east coast. West is way deeper closer-in, better for catch and cook, which is why I began sea fishing before becoming demoralised- if there's no fish big enough to eat, what exactly am I doing here?
Theoretically I could target flatties for their wee fillets, but they all read 5+ on the radiation monitor. Dalgety Bay? Rosythe?
So its shit. To recap. 🤣👍
Ahaha yeah I get you. You might do okay in a month or 2 for the mackerel off there. I’d say fish Eyemouth or st abbs if you don’t want to go the whole way over to the west. You’ll probably be able to get on the cod or pollack which will have some nice size fillets for you. I recon they’ll have less chance of being radioactive too 😂😂
FYI, that’s a major flight path, don’t get caught flying your drone or use the DJi app to see where you can’t fly!!
Hello I am coming in Edinburgh mid October and for tha hearts game with omonoia fc and I am wishing to have a multispecies urban session with my 1-7gr c.w. travel rod is it possible? Any tips ?
Can I fish inside of the marina or in the port?
Hi mate, it’s definitely worth a shot in my opinion! I’d recommend Granton piers. The west one which I fished in this video if likely the best and I would recommend putting the effort in to get there. Species should be mackerel cod pollack dabs and flounder wrasse and coalies. Always have chance of small turbot, sea scorpion, sea trout and loads more. I wish you the best of luck 🎣🎣🎣
the granton breakwater is good fun in the summer, lots of wrasse and small cod but its a decent day out
great for loosing your gear as well...😵💫
Cheers for the comments 👍. I recon another video will be on the cards fishing Edinburgh this summer. I’ll head down there and see if I can get a couple 🎣🎣
Good video, very enthusiastic presentation. RIP crabby
Thanks winchy 😂😂
go across the bridge to Kirkcaldy and fish behind Morrisons at low tide.
It's full of flounder.
Great to hear. I’ll maybe try down there soon, while the fishing is slow 🎣🎣
On the western pier you went past the best mark which is the hole in the wall. Very small whiting are a nightmare here and if you drop to a smaller hook size you'll catch plenty of them.
Cheers for the advice, I’ll have to film another video in the summer in Edinburgh. I’ll get down there next time 👍🎣
Eyup mate. Awesome to see you so determined and undeterred in your videos. I've been exploring a lot of the same areas as yourself over the last year and Scotland has some stunning spots to be. I highly recommend you trying around Stranraer area if you haven't before. I discovered some amazing and quiet locations with awesome fishing and wild life last year. Best of luck with your trips this year. I believe you mentioned some Scottish Isles trips this year. Might see you up there.
Tight lines man
Thanks very much mate, I’m hoping to spend half my summer up that direction so it’ll probably be likely 😂 I haven’t tried Stranraer before but I’ll head up soon and see what’s about.
Tight lines mate 👌
Glad i stumbled across this, great to see content from an Edinburgh youtuber, you now have a new subscriber.
Fished granton breakwater numerous times over the years and apart from crabs I've blanked every time, it is my jinx venue
You'll get there in the end, ive had the same luck with granton for the most part but a lot of people say they've had fish off there so its got to be worth a shot in the summer (at least for the mackerel)! thanks for the sub mate 👍
I’ve taken a sea trout permit for the Forth and really going to fish that this year .ridiculous how much is marked as not available on the Edinburgh side .
The second fish was a dab, multiple species, i've fished around the east and west coast of Scotland quite a few times, definitely some great marks up there
I would have never known if it wasn’t for this comment ahah. I’m hoping to do a lot of exploring this summer so hopefully they’ll be one or two nice ones I’ll bump into 👍👍
nice video pal, sometimes you need to let bites progress here, loads of whiting which just peck, especially with bigger hooks. Once you learn the local marks youll be surprised how many fish are here.
Cheers for the advice rik, that could have been the reason behind so many bites in this video on the breakwater. I’ll film another similar video and wack some size 4 hooks on to see if that will pick them up 👍
@@UntouchedFishing Ive tried being fancy here few times but its just not it, also another tip dont go to the end of each venue, granton go to the curve, newhaven go 3/4, mackerel is the best bait for scratching. Tight lines pal
I have had really good sessions on Granton Pier in the summer for red cod using fresh crab. I fished at the elbow, casting quite close in in the daytime.
Cheers for the advice David, not somewhere I’ve tried in the summer. I’ll get down and give it a shot this summer. Might even get a video down there. Cheers for the comment 👍
Move up the coast a bit, the Angus beaches are rife with flatties. Also the chance of a Bass or Sea Trout near the esturies. Can get Rays at Lunan as well.
Cheers for that mate, I’ll have to check it out at some point 👍🎣
Loads of decent fishing in and around Edinburgh at times - and when things are quiet elsewhere we may as well blank closer to home 😅 Nice video bud. In all honestly at all the marks in the video I usually do better with LRF gear right close in - usually plenty of small fish May through to November.
Ahahah I like the theory, I’ll definitely make another similar video at some point this summer. Sure it’ll fish very differently then so the lrf will definitely be included 👍👍
Video idea is great, filming is great and so is the enthusiasm mate. Rather intrigued for the 1k vid
Thank you, turned out to be a slower start than what was hoped for but what can you do when the fish aren’t playing ball 😂. Still not totally decided what will happen for that but hoping for it to turn out a belter 🎣🎣
@@UntouchedFishing exactly mate, turned out to a great vid regardless. I look forward to it
Fishing is normally ok at Cramond Island
Good dedication to the cause...😁 Interested to see what you come up with next...
Appreciate that skull, hopefully something with some nice fish whatever it is 🎣🎣
@@UntouchedFishing It's in these places, you think, there must be fish there, what if, and then trying something different to target a specific species... More often than not, you come away empty-handed, but sometimes, it pays off... although a lot depends on catching the tide and weather conditions just right, such is the East Coast...
nice one bud if you want to come fish down in the borders or over the west coast give me a shout and say hi to to Paul for me 🎣🎣
Cheers for the offer mate, I often fish st Abbs and Eyemouth so I’ll give you a shout at some point. I’ll let him know 🤝
Concentrate on the fishing rather than the filming.
