Aquamarine Charters have spaces on Sagittarius for sea angling off the Berwickshire coast next weekend as reports indicate that cod are in the local waters.

Derek Anderson, skipper, confirms availability on Saturday, November 29 and Sunday, November 30 and the cost is £50 a person for the trip. That’s if you have your own equipment.

If you don’t have gear can be hired and call Derek on 07860 804316 for further details.

The charter leaves from Eyemouth Harbour at 7.45am each day and the coastline offers fishing for coalfish, ling and pollock and the boat has an experienced skipper who can find the best place to find fish.

Remember, all trips are weather dependent.

Onshore, angling has been difficult to find because of the frost and popular Allandale Tarn at West Calder was frozen. Boss Iona Allan hopes to re-open on Wednesday.

Bowden Springs near Linlithgow has seen some good sport, however. George Main had six, best a 5.5lb brown trout, using humungus and egg patterns while Andrew Farquhar had four, best 3.5lb, on lures.

Thomas Gray also had six and Mr Kerry two.

Drumtassie near Blackridge hope to host their last competition of the year on Sunday, November 30, weather permitting, on the middle and big pond and there are cash prizes. Entry is £35 and that includes lunch.
