Hello again. Thanks for the replies. I know the rocks to the North very well, and access would not really be a problem in this case, but I've never seen them fished. It may mean winching any catch (and kelp) a fair way up though.
Alan, do you reckon I should be fishing on the lower ebb of the tide then? I am prepared for the tackle losses. I also have access to a small boat, so may drift out maybe 80 to 100yds or so over these reefs, dangling a line. Since I am not an experienced boatsman, this requires the stillest possible seas, and very fine weather. Only tried it once before, took wrasse and coley, plus a very small codling, all on rag. Mainly wrasse though, so I imagine a switch of bait is in order to shake them off. Had trouble with a seal swimming around the boat though, presumably scaring off anything in range.
Was also thinking of trying spinning near eyemouth golf course, for pollack etc, while having a bait rod chucked out on the off chance. Anyone tried this?
