Nice 👍 you can park at the old entrance to the power station and walk down the road to the old gates, and right over to where you were on hard solid ground. A lot easier for the doggo
@@Heavyhitter981 cheers, will go that way next time, wasn’t sure if there would be fences to climb or not. Is the pier still sealed off or can you access it now?
@@N57Fishing nah easy access, people walk dogs down there all the time. Last time i was there pier was blocked off, there is ladders from the water up. You can get on the bit that sticks out next to the pier but no the big pier itself unless you have paddle board/ boat.
@@greggferns3278 I don’t doubt it, I used to catch loads at Cockenzie power station when I was wee. People still catch plenty at Torness. It’s not really my cup of tea though, it gets so busy and lots of people keeping every tiny fish caught. Cheers
@@colinboyd1551 I must of just been unlucky. Really thought I’d get a some, I was hoping to barbecue a few. I’m away camping this weekend so hopefully get some then. Cheers
@@colinboyd1551 thanks, amazing offer but I’ve recently got a wee boat too, only been out a couple of times, mostly practicing launching. Not caught anything yet but have the first proper fishing trip planned for in a few weeks. Cheers
@@tedhall20009 I cut through the woods from here maps.app.goo.gl/mFfc6kUDUPyRanLt6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy not easy but doable. Also have to climb the wall, you could get all the way along the shore from the carpark too but would take a long time
Awesome video bud 👍🏻 my gf parents live on that road behind this spot, I’ll be there this week with the rod and see how I get on! Beats sitting with the in-laws 🙄😂
@@richardpedley6291 You don’t need a permit or license to fish in the sea in Scotland unless you’re specifically targeting salmon or sea trout. If you’re just out doing a bit of mixed species fishing, you’ll be fine as long as you don’t keep any of the migratory fish.
Very enjoyable, and what a lovely old dog she is.
For mackerel you can fish of the power stations pier and it is loaded with mackerel

The door on the pier is open was down there on Saturday 👍
Nice video, enjoyable watch and looks like you had a good time fishing with the dog.
@@anotherangleUK cheers

@@alexandermcgowan4125 cheers, tight lines
Most folk catch mackerel further up the river Gourock shoreline , train station and the Esplanade at Greenock
There used to be, allegedly,bass from there when the power station was still standing and fully functioning.

There is bass further up no reason why they would be there too 👍
Hi, Ive recently bought a small boat and keep it Troon marina. Was out yesterday and there are plenty of Mackerel. Didnt catch anything but Mackerel.

@@N57Fishing keep in touch and I could take you out for the day when the weather suits.

Nice session! Pity the sea trout didn't play.
Next time hopefully, cheers
Believe it or not but sunny days in the 80s and 90s you could see salmon running up from the top of the chimney.
You must be near the war memorial , entrance to the marina .. ?
Quarter mile down from marina
Hi bud. Great video. How do you get down to the spot you were fishing,

You can walk down through the old power station entrance instead of having to cut through the trees. A lot less hassle 👍
