Leg five of the Edinburgh Winter Shore Angling League will be fished on Friday, December 16 along Marine Esplanade at Seafield, the first time this venue has been used this season.
The breakwater at Newhaven (pictured by Gus Brindle) and Portobello Beach have been the venues so far in the eight-match series and registration at Marine Esplanade will be from 6pm to 6.30pm. The post code is EH6 7LU and fishing is from 7pm to 10pm.
The league is sponsored by Edinburgh Angling Centre and the Fishing Megastore and anglers hope that it is not as tough as it was at Portobello Beach in round four.
Stephen Barrett topped the list with eight fish with David Cooper second on seven fish and Dave McKervail third on four fish.
Organiser Ian Campbell is taking names now and details are posted on the Scottish Shore Angling Match Group portal on Facebook.
