1 session 9 species - one of the best days fishing too
Species : mackie,pollock,cod,dogfish,sandeel,wrasse,starfish ,smoothound,flounder
Okay just got back from the west coast of scotland.. i tried spinning for bass on the friday however 3 seals thought it would be a good idea to ruin my day haha. Anyway we went out on saturday and arrived at our mark at around 1 in the afternoon.
The fishing started fast with mackerel and the occasional pollock being pulled in on feathers and spinners (yes the mackie are in lads haha)
3 dogfish were pulled in during the day which was cool because we personally havent seen/caught one before however the main attraction totally blew these dogfish out of the water.
just before low water at round 17.00 my friends rod went crazy and he picks it up to fight a fish in, this was the hardest fight ive ever personally seen the smoothound was darting in all directions and it was amazing to watch in the shallows with it thrashing about.
Anyways after alot of drama we finally got down to the rocks and pulled it in, what a beauty it was too ! we were too busy trying to get photos and and get it back in the water alive we didnt manage to weigh it. could anyone with experience estimate i weight ? i personally thought it will be double figure and the close up picture doesnt do it justice !
After we brought it in another bigger smoothound followed it to the bottom of the rocks and swam around in the shallows for abit ! it was very strange they must of been hunting together or something?
Anyways the weather was spot on and it was a brilliant days fishing !
Enjoy the pictures cheers lads
and the best til last... (some brilliant action shots of fighting the smoothound)
