went fishing today and caught........

[tugmistress]

about a dozen flatties between the 3 of us (me, hubby and brat) and then to shock us all hubby pulled in a macky. thought they had all gone off shore now!

we were fishing Scrabster Old Ola Pier.

Now you are going to ask "where's that?" ha ha.

 

you wanted more reports ha ha.

 

you now get homework too

I asked once before where scrabster was. someone said near lobster.

Went up that way to get the ferry to the orkneys last year, That whole coast + along too john o groats looked soo fishy,ANd probably unfished, Good to here you had a few fish, Any size?

I think you will find Thurso Angler giving it his best shot.

 

A couple of us were fishing from a rock mark about 50 miles north of Scrabster today and between us we had one 3lb Pollock and several Coalfish between 1 and 2lb.

the flatties were just about size (25cms), the macky was about 1lb.

we usually fish off holborn head itself when the tide and sea are right and usually catching 5 and 6lb + pollock.

Spur hound...

if you travelled the ferry last year you probably saw me, i was working on board security from beginning may last year to mid june this year, i am now back driving the tugs for the ferry at scrabster now.

Tend not to make it that far south very often.

 

It's nice to know Mackeral are still about. We have caught them from May through to October this year. If global warming keeps on like this for a couple more years we could be catching Bass around Stronsay. Having said that my house will be flooded if it carries on to long.

you are getting schoolie bass around the orkneys somewhere now, i think in the scapa flow area, though don't hold me to that! ha ha.

we are getting the odd few decent ones on dunnet beach now, not just schoolies.

if your house floods don't worry, we are about 200ft above sea level here, and we have a caravan in the garden you can use
