Hi Steve and welcome

Im from Arbroath and fish down at Arbroath Harbour regularly. Firstly the small pier wall will be catching Mackerels at the moment, i got a bunch the other day with light tackle and rod.

Along by the cliffs you will get the usual Mackerels and Pollack.

Worms will do the trick here along the harbour and the cliffs, i was thinking of going down on Saturday so might bump into you

The small pier wall is basically right at the end of the long rough road you drive down with the red cages on the sea wall. At the end of that road is the small signal tower/lighthouse, basically the wall running alongside that is where the mackerel are caught,
