Headed out today with 8 lads on board of varying experience, with word of a few tope showing the more regular anglers were after a shot at them meanwhile the beginners were happy to see anything. We went for a mixed bag and started off for mackerel which most people are happy to see.…
Headed out with what was meant to be a premier offshore trip today but with a bit of breeze and a few tope showing inshore we stayed fairly close to home. We started off feathering for mackerel. It wasn’t thick and fast but we had the odd one or two here and there so after…
blackwater estuary. She can be hired for 1-5 people for just a few hours or the whole day. If your experienced and wish to take her then we can try to advise you on where to fish or we can arrange for a guide to take you out and put you on the fish. last…
Headed back out today with 6 lads on a premier offshore trip. With slightly better weather and tides we put a bit more mileage in today. we didn’t stop for mackerel as the water was still the wrong colour and i had a load of fantastic quality frozen mackerel from ‘bait box’ in stead. Our…
Headed back out today with leon and the lads, chris joined us and made the numbers up for us. We were meant to be tope fishing but I suggested we went for a more mixed bag of fish with a chance of tope as not many had showed yet. our first mark was more tope…
I headed out tonight with a group of lads for a short evening trip. The weather wasn’t bad and made our way down in search of a few bass and roker. As I went to anchor I noticed some bass working fairly close to us. I managed to position the boat close enough to cast…
Headed out today on a double boat booking along with derek on the ‘eastern promise’. The lads had a two boat competition between 16 lads. the weather was nice and calm which made life easy and with a good tide too we didn’t have to venture too far. The lads had 6 hours fishing time…
Had 8 lads on board today and headed back down in search of a few roker again. the weather was spot on and the fishing matched it too. The roker were coming in one after the other (or at the same time) all morning. There were some great fish amongst them with several around the…
Headed out tonight with a premier evening trip with several regular lads. we hoped to target some hounds but I must say were disappointed by the lack of crabs in the pot. Luckily the lads had a fair bit of rag and alec had crabs (again) so we continued. The wind had died to leave…
Back out today with a mixed bag of individual anglers aboard today, there was a bit of breeze about but nothing to concern us. We headed back to where we had been yesterday and started off well with a few roker and other bits and bobs. The anchor slipped to we had a short move,…
After arriving home last night I had fred and the lads aboard for the first time in a while. It is traditional that on every trip fred comes it rains so this morning we decided to get it out of the way early. The rain soon cleared and left a decent day in the end…
Unfortunately we had to head home today. I must admit it was hard to drag ourselves away just as the tope seemed to be kicking off and with fantastic weather yet again (I am led to believe the weather is always fantastic here 365 days of the year). We had another great breakfast from dave…
When I got back to the b&b Dave (who we were staying with) said that spike who owns ‘go west’ a local charter boat was back from a short break and he’d take me to meet him after dinner if I wanted. I was keen to meet him as I know several people who have…
With great weather forecast and the use of a tractor we were set for a full days fishing today. we had a much earlier start and took the boat to port logan. Staceys phone was playing up and somehow we had lost the phone number of the fisherman whos tractor we were going to borrow.…
With the boat repaired and a fantastic forecast we were heading out today for our first fishing trip. After a lovely breakfast from dave we made our way to port logan on the other side of the mull. We went to launch the boat and backed her to the water but I wasn’t getting the…
After our trips Stacey and I rushed home and got the Orkney on the back of the truck to head to Scotland for the week. We stopped over night in Gretna before continuing our journey on to Drumore on the shores of luce bay where we would be staying for the week. We arrived mid…
