HOW TO GET THERE
Follow the A92 from either north or south until you reach the town itself. Keep to the main road and you'll see a sign for the beach, take this turning and follow the road to the parking area just behind the beach. You'll pass the famous Bervie chipper which can be a god send on a long session, especially when it's freezing.

THE BEACH
The beach itself is a in a horse shoe shape flanked by rocks either side. The Bervie Water which is a small river also enters on the left hand side of the beach. Made up mostly of shingle it provides a very safe and semi comfortable platform to fish from. Approximately 50 or 60 yards from the shore there is a gutter that follows the line of the beach, this is where most of the fish will tend to be.

CONDITIONS TO FISH
The best conditions to fish this beach are during an easterly wind and a rough sea. Night time tides produce the better fishing, but in rough conditions and coloured sea the day will also produce cod. Night tends to draw the bigger cod in though.

BAITS
Lug, rag, squid, mackerel and mussel will all catch fish. Cocktails will work well.

TACKLE
A stiff rod will be needed to combat the heavy surf and weedy conditions. Reels need to be strong, the likes of Penn 535, 7000 Abu or slosh 30. 30lb mainline will be needed to stop abrasion from the weed and shingle.
