HARBOUR PORPOISES

[sam-cox]

while fishing from Southend Pier and saturday not only did we catch a couple of decent bass and a really disformed bass, we were lucky enough to spot two harbour porpoises. The were around 50 yards out and made my day even more than the bass.

I know what you mean Sam. I've been lucky enough to see a lot of porpoises and dolphins over the past couple of years; pure magic

Sam. Get yourself an invite to Lochaline!

Not only will you see a school of porpoises near the boat, but seals on the rocks, a white tailed sea eagle above, sea otters near the shore, a golden eagle on the point, plus the odd pine marten in the wheelie bin near the social. All this after you`ve nearly collided with a true wild stag on the road in.

The ales good too.
