South & West Scotland Colintraive 2008.04.02 The mark at Colintraive is quite well known locally and very popular at weekends, however it is big enough to accommodate 6 anglers comfortably without too many tangles. The mark is near the village of Colintraive on the mainland and is accessed from the A886 road between Colintraive and Strachur. Coming from Glasgow follow the A82 past Loch Lomond to Tarbet, then the A83 up and over the “rest and be thankful”. Stay on the A83 then take the left turn for the A815 to Strachur, then onto the A886 and follow this all the way down to Colintraive.   There is a small single track road on the right as you approach Colintraive which leads along the shore of Loch Riddon, and when you get to the big lay-by with the bins, you are there. Alternatively, you can get the ferry from Gourock to Dunoon, and take the B836 over the hill to the A886. Anyone wanting a more scenic route should go by ferry from Wemyss Bay to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute then the A886 to Rubodach and get another ferry across the Kyles of Bute to Colintraive. There is ample space for camping just over the fence at the lay-by, and the mark itself is a 5-10 minute walk up and over a small hill from the lay-by, the route is quite well worn. The mark itself is a large sloping shelf of rock protruding into the Kyles of Bute at the mouth of the small Loch Riddon, and fishes into about 20m of water to the North. There is quite a variety of species to be had here, and mackerel aplenty from spring onwards. Pollack, Dogfish, Coalfish and even the odd Wrasse are most common, with a few smallish congers sometimes putting in an appearance. The deepest water is straight ahead and to left across the mouth of the small bay. There is also another mark to the right about 2 minutes walk round from the main mark, although the rocks here are a bit steeper and the water shallower. It still has room for 2-3 rods.
South & West Scotland Ardwell Bay 2 2008.04.02 Ardwell Bay is situated on the West side of the Rhins of Galloway a few miles North of Port Logan. Follow the A716 fro Stranraer to the village of Ardwell which is on the Luce Bay side of the Rhins (East). There is a good bait and tackle shop on the right just as you come into the village, but the road to take is about 50 yards before the shop on the right. Follow this until you come to a crossroads with a red phone box, turn left and follow the road all the way to the end. It turns into a very potholed track, but keep going right to the very end, and you will be rewarded with the secluded Ardwell Bay. There is a large sandy beach on offer and plenty of parking space. Those taking the tents should park at the very end of the road near the slipway, and go over the style into the field. There is a good flat area about 100yards towards the sea where camping for 6 tents is possible. Make sure you take all your mess home with you and bury and fire, as there are sometimes cows in the field. You are now spoiled for choice with regards to fishing points. There are some good rocks just another 100 yards to the North with the beach to your back, and a short walk around to the left of the field heading South takes you to even more suitable rocky ledges and deeper water. This area is very well known and can get busy, but there is plenty of room for all. The rock marks are deadly for good size Pollack, taking sandeels from the float. Wrasse will also get in among floated sandeels. Summer is free bait time with loads of mackerel. Ragworm will produce dogfish from any of the rock points, and there is conger to be had at the deeper points using your free mackerel. Bass are often caught in the shallower water towards the beach spinning the plugs, and a night-time session on the beach with lugworm, ragworm or crabs will get Flatties. The Bloke in the Ardwell bait shop will keep you right as to what’s in at the moment. There is usually an information board at the shop saying what’s being caught where. You also get the benefit of a West facing view and spectacular sunsets. This really is one of the best locations in the South West of Scotland, and fishes just about all year round.

East Anglia Cromer pier 2007.12.27 A good winter venue when it is too rough to fish elsewhere. Easy sheltered fishing with lighting and seating. We have caught cod up to 11lb here so bring a drop net. Avoid casting too far forwards as it can be snaggy there. Usually best on right hand side, but one night a guy had an exceptional catch of cod in the teens on the left hand side. On balence Gorleston jetty by the coastguard building late at night has been better for me,

East Anglia Sea Palling Reefs 2007.10.08 Golden Sands and deep lagoons are on offer in between these man made offshore reefs, with easy access and comfortable beach fishing this is a great venue.However it does get very busy in the summer months so early mornings or evenings is probably the best times,along with the winter months.Looking to the left from the main beach entry point you can see in the distance reefs one and two which can both be accessed in the last 3 hours of the ebb, can also be fished using float gear or spinning , however be warned the rocks are slippy in wetter conditions.
North East Velva Liquids 2007.10.01 Now known as the walkway this housing estate was builton the site of the old velva liquids factory, I used to fish there when the site was closed and ready for demolishion.And it was an uncomfortable place to fish.Now? its a nicely paved promenade in an exclusive area of shields.Fishing here on neap tides thru daylight and darkness can produce mixed bags of colaies, codling , flounder and eel.
South & West Scotland Terally Bay 2007.08.24 Many species can be caught here at most states of the tides, although most anglers prefer fishing from low water up. Night fishing is also popular here.
North East St Marys Island - Whitley Bay 2007.11.05 This well known landmark is a great all year round mark.Its a heavy ground mark with the possibilities of big bags of codling , fishing to the north of the lighthouse into Crispins Gulley , best fished three hours before low water and 3 hours on the flood when the rocky outcrops and gulleys are exposed.Tackle losses can be high so its advisable to use rotten bottom tactics,The lighthouse is accessible via a causeway and tide times are available near by but it doesnt stay submerged for long and its easy enough to see when you can get across.
