We are going to head to the west coast of Scotland on saturday,around loose bay area, to see what is knocking about .I am going to take the spinning rod just in case there is any macky about,as well as two bait rods, we are going to take sand eels and rag with a couple of macky in case we don't catch any up there.Quite looking forward to doing a bit of sea fishing for a change ,hope the gear is ok ,will have to get it out of the mothballs,i will post the results of our trip and if we get anything decent will post pictures--Karl

good lucknever fished scotland before might have to give it a try

[Karl]

Well if you are going to do it now is the time of year , loads of different species, sand eel is about the best all round bait up there ,at least that is my opinion,but other people may differ--Karl

9 of us are going up on Saturday morning around 4:30am lol as were fishing a match
I personally have never fished there but 1 of the lads who is going with us has and he said the fishing is ace. We will be using the same bait as you.

Fished just about every year for last 14 up there and it is a nice spot for many species, like most spots its getting over fished but still lots of good pollack, doggies, coalie, congor and the odd rare species such as huss, bass etc from shore and boat.

I like the pollack fishing best up there

Adam if you have'nt been before watch the rocks if they are wet mind, they are very slippy mate. Make sure you all bring your rubbish back to the car too it is really bad up there and a lot of it is being blamed on anglers from this area, don't give people any more ammo to shoot us down any more mate It probably won't matter where you fish, you will find rubbish just about everywhere, such a shame for such a beautiful area.

I never take the big gear up there now. I take my carp rod for float fishing and a Conoflex Assassin for spinning and plugging. I got one of those waist belt bags as well so I can hop from mark to mark - beats lugging a heavy bag/box about.

If you are bottom fishing be prepared for a Doggy fest,its lifting with them.
I was over 2 weeks ago,even catching them on 8/0 hooks and half a macky when fishing for Conger.....

[adam.d]

I'll be bottom fishing, hope I get a doggy as I've never caught 1 before!

You'll soon get sick of them mate.

rod tip be bouncing all day hehehe

[Karl]

Im not a doggy lover myself, but we are going to a place called trivially bay[i think that is how it is spelt], it is a small shingle beach that has a good depth and it is only a few yards from where you park your car , so you can leave your eatables in the car and then you don't leave litter ,it is a very comfortable place to fish with a good variety of species , and yes the doggys are there, but there is [or i hope there is] quite a few other types of fish, there is even a possibility of getting a tope, got my fingers crossed, but we will have to wait and see---Karl

Terally bay on Luce Bay

To be honest Karl, that'd be the last place I fished after travelling all the way over there.

Hello Karl just dusted my stuff off yesterday with a visit to the Hartlepool. It was great being on the beach again-there is nothing like fishing for wild fish (trout are ok but they are stocked).
I have never caught a dog fish---and i have fished the south coast.
Have a nice time-are you lads in digs,camping or sleeping in the motor?-or is it a day trip.
Cheers mick.
