Hi Rab

 

Looking forward to see the "Mystery Fish" appearing on the species list.

[saint_1877]

That mystery fish should get on the list though probably not with spinning tactics!

 

When are you next going out to try to add to the wee codling you caught? I had planned for Ballahellish this w/e but blizzards are forecast so that option seems scuppered.

Thats been my only outing since Etive!!

 

There's a comp at Arbroath on Sunday but after that last one I don't think I'll bother! - I don't think it'll be blue skies this weekend.

 

Maybees get a meet up with the guys before the lull until the summer fish starts?

[saint_1877]

Don't think it would be much point in planning a trip over your way now?

 

Think there may be something in the pipeline for a meet in early March though don't quote me on that.

Hi Rab, It's the OLD FIFE geezer, Hows they hanging....BTW I'm from near Kilsyth, not Fife, I keep ma boat in Fife... I just got in (I'm hiding from the boss for an hour or so)The sea looks perfect for a spot of fishing at Arbroath, theres certainly a nice blow on. We're off to Lochaline tomorrow, trying a bit of fishing off the pier. Hopefully we'll get the first ferry in the morning.Davy has offered a bed for the night coz I'm not as young as I was... 47 to be exact....

Hi Norrie have you ever fished the pier before? The pier always seems to fish best on an out going tide, I seem to pick up less snags that way.

 

Your probally best to use a clipped pennel pulley rig baited with mackerel and a squid strip on the top hook and then bind the squid to the mackerel with some elastic thread. Certainly found you catch a few congers with the aforementioned tactics.

 

Good luck.

[Norrie]

Hiya, No, I've never fished the pier before, but will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the info.....

Another thing Norrie if your lucky enough to catch a fish with a squat lobster in its mouth try the squat as bait, rays love them
