Ardnamurchan ??

[BAZACODBASHA]

Hi,
I'm going to the Ardnamurchan region at the beginning of June, and I'm wondering if anyone has fished this area before. Any help with marks, species, tides baits etc would be hugely appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hi Baz

This report may help.

Loch Sunart 7th to 14th April 2012- World Sea Fishing Forums | Sea Angling and Sea Fishing Online | Fishing Reports

When I fished Loch Sunart about 15 years ago we also hired a self drive boat which may be of interest to you

Boat Hire Ardnamurchan Self Drive - West Coast of Scotland - Loch Sunart Ardnamurchan: New Pioner Boats

Lovely part of the world if the weather is good.

I am no expert, although we have fished a couple of times about 3 or so years back, at the southern points of Ardnamurchan.

You will struggle to buy bait anywhere nearby, in fact you can't really. You can dig worms though, or collect mussels/cockles or catch some mackerel.

There are loads of lovely beaches and rock marks around the coastline. The choice is incredible, as is the scenery. We had no plan, just drove around and tried places we thought might produce. We had pollock, wrasse and flatties, nothing big, maybe a 3lb pollack was the biggest. Supposedly it is decent for sea trout, but we didn't catch any. We did watch a pair of sea eagles catching loads more fish than us though! Also saw dolphins, porpoises and a couple of pilot whales.

You can take the ferry from Kilchoan to Tobermory on Mull. There are apparently good marks on Mull for pollack, try Calgary bay or Callanch Point.

Boat trips are really geared to the sealife watching and prices to charter a boat are really expensive compared to where you live. Frankly it isn't worth the money, as the fishing doesn't merit a boat trip, unless you want to try for huge common skate. Not my idea of fun, but plenty enjoy it.

Hope you have a great trip.

Yup midges are hell. Forget any potions, a hat with a net is the only answer!

Just remembered that Acharacle had decent rock fishing.

Nice salmon fishing on Loch Shiel too.
