Fantastic post mate, I first heard about the brilliant fishing up there a few years ago, and now after reading your report, has made me think, yeh, would love to give it a go. How much in advance did you have to book, and what size party is best. Again, great post and photos.

Aye Arthur, was a real eye opener, a mixture of anticipation, joy, excitement, pain and exercise all rolled into one.

A few more pictures of our trip.

Everyone getting prepared on the Ferry across from Aberdeen to Lerwick



Kenny takes us through Flugga



I never thought I would be using 12/0 Daylights



Tatch takes a 36LB Anglerfish, absolute stonker.



Alex with a 20LB+ Cod



Myself with a 25LB Coalie, I remember the weight as I won the sweep that day



Chris, with a cracking 28LB+ Cod



Myself with another 20LB Cod.



Tam gives his PB Ling a kiss



Alex with another big Ling



And a great surprise for me, a 8LB 8oz Haddock



Overall a fantastic time, catching 1, 2 or 3 fish at a time, whether it was Cod or Coalie, it was brilliant.
The landscape and the wildlife all contributed to a excellent time and of course the banter was in full flow.
Im now on standbye for any drop outs this year and hoping to get there again next year.
Its for every boat anglers bucket list.

Thanks for the reply John, or is it Tach....anyway, more great photos and fish. Makes me want to go more, although could be a long wait if next year is already fully booked.
