hello again lewis and hello craig, as with anywhere else the fishing used to be better, it is hit and miss at the mo i think a colder spell is needed , this is only my second season at the cod in dumfries and as i work in kent i dont get up as much as i would like but i am in regular contact with a few lads who do fish alot , the fish are their but their seems to be fewer than last year but it has been mild, my mate had a few doubles last october 03 and in feb 04 , I am going home again in feb (fingers crossed) and will post a report then. as for marks at balcary from the car park follow the path through the field up the hill at the gate on the cliff go right up another hill, down as you look over to the left u will see an unmistakable wooden monument go down the little steep path and their u have the flat rock fish off the right hand side. bare in mind though my mate also likes to fish arbroath and goes at least twice a year but he also religiously fishes balcary and colvend. Balcary is also good for bass in summer.
