What a trip,...... brilliant write up.

Bloody shame about the weather though, as if the task wasnt hard enough anyway.

 

Still, like you say, a trip in the warmer weather would be nice.

 

Great effort congrats.

Great write ups. Shame no Skate but it sounds like the setting made up for it.

 

Please land that Blue chaps. Would love to to post it on TSF.

Great report chaps, sorry you didn't get your monster, good luck with the Blue, will be some catch if you manage it.

There can be only one Starvin, beware of imitations!

 

Somebody on TSF wanted to know why we thought it was a Blue! errr!

 

"because it was a red flatfish with a sucker mouth."

Great report guys.

 

Sorry the skate trip did not work out, but you cant help the weather.

 

I am planning to take the boat up on at least 4 more occasions this year and would be happy to provide support , a tow or help lifting anchors. Your first experience of fishing 400 ft + is a real eye opener, it certainly was for me. You quickly stop reeling in to check your bait!

 

Even at slack tide you need close on a lb of lead and when its running a 1kg lump is common. Those cuckoo wrasse sure are pretty, and I am suprised you didn't get any thornies in the loch itself, I've had them to 7 1/2 lb and they seem to always be there.

 

Better luck next time.
