Loch Etive Boat Fishing

 10 off us met up at taynuilt slip for the day out on Etive. We sailed to our fishing spot at nine and was in the water for 9.10pm. There were lots off small spurs about I have never seen so many small ones about. The smallest one was the size of my hand. Anyway once you go by them some bigger one's had the chance to play.

Matt's mate got a nice spur at 7lbs 4ozs which gave him the lead in the sweep for the heaviest fish. Eddie was onto a nice ling at 5lbs 9ozs but 10 mins later Matt's mate pulled in a ling at 7lbs 4ozs that put him in the lead for both sweeps. Spurs about 4lb - 5lbs were now being caught along with some dogfish, whiting and pouting.

The day ended with David catching a 7lb 9oz spur to take the £25 sweep for the heaviest spur and Matt's mate taking the £25 sweep for any other heaviest fish with his 7lbs 4ozs ling. Well done guy's.

Till next times Guy;s

Boat Fishing Port Patrick

Left Port Patrick at 9.00am on board Rhinns Ranger and headed to our mark but was met by a fog bank which dictated how the fishing would be for the rest of the day. We had planed to anchor up and fish for some tope. The skipper had a couple of drifts and soon we had some nice whiting and haddock on board.

The next drift produced Gurnards, Plaice, and the odd dogfish. We had a shot at anchoring and the Bull Huss made an appearance and the hope of a tope might be around. The skipper made the call to up anchor as visibility was poor as the fog was all around us as you will notice in the Picts.

Went on the drift again and was into some nice Bull Huss, Whiting and more dogfish. Mat had the best haddock which made it escape to freedom as I was taking his picture. Darren and Malky best Bull Huss at 9lbs 4os for Malky Darren`s around the 10lb mark. Shane the mackerel king and Victoria had a nice launce and Mat had a nice plaice. Everyone had a good time and plenty of fish caught well done guys.

 

Looking forward to the next outing.

River Tay

Back at the river tay this year again for another spot of fishing with friends.

  

 Davies fish of 12lbs was the best of the day. 

 Willies five pounder must have the knack as this makes it 2 out of 2.

My first salmon.

Thanks to Eddie for the lift and Stuart for the helping hand landing it.

looking forward to next one. 

Loch Etive

Fishing out of Loch Etive on the 18th Nov

We headed up to Etive arriving at 9.00am and on board the charter boat were 2 friends of Kenny's all ready and waiting. Once on board we headed out to our fishing marks.

First drop produced nothing after about a hours fishing so up anchor and onto 2nd mark this produced a small spur and a thornie about 4lbs. Skipper say were off again 3rd time lucky. Steams for a little bit then drops the anchor. Tony was first into a good double figure spur but was lost at the side of the boat.

Then the fishing took off.

We had spurs from 6lbs to 12lbs 10oz. The 3 best spurs were caught by Iain a nice 10lb 2oz spur. Chris 9lb spur and Rod McMillan 12lb 10oz spur. 2 nice ling at 5lbs and 6lbs for Shane and Rod.

Thanks lads great day out.

  

Port Patrick

Headed to Port Patrick for a days fishing. We arrived at the carpark and headed to our fishing spot. Mixed fishing was Pollock, Ballan Wrasse, Flounder and Dabs, and Strap Conger.

A night down the local beach

Headed down the beach for a few hours fishing with my sons Shane and Nico. We were met by Jamie Iain and Will. Jamie had a few fish but no picts as he was fishing further down the beach. Nico Iain and myself had a few flounders. not bad for a few hours fishing.

A few picts of some of the flounders that were caught.
