Gillies.. big well done to you and your club for encouraging the youngsters

It's sad that these days many people just don't think about the kids at all

 

As it's been said, the smile on his face says it all

 

ohh and even better.. he aint holding it "Sea Angler" style, which speaks volumes also

Very well done Gillies, its good to here you have quite a few kids interested.

 

The more i here about the western isles, the more my mouth is watering!!!Might not seem a big 'bot but there aint many bigger than that caught from the shore on the mainland! Do yyou get many bigger ones up there?

Norrie - cant agree with you about the colour of his shirt blue & white would be just as bad, red and white with a wee bit of wool is more my colour

 

Shaun - one of my mates is doing a lot of shore fishing, and fishing into the nights seems to be bringing in the bigger Turbot ... but the mark I fished last weekend (same bay as this young fellow got his) produces larger Turbot with a good cast.

 

There is not many kids who can say his first ever sea fish was a Turbot ... mine, probably like a few peoples was a Mackerel

 

The enthusiasim been shown by kids is great, the whole scene seems to be exciting to them, all the various rigs and lures, baits, and of course catching the fish itself. I had to laugh the other week when one of them caught a 7 lb Spurdog in the boat, as it came to the surface they were all shouting "shark ... shark" and became top of their lists for fish to catch ... of course when they came aboard and seen the fish close up and seen the spurs they would not go near it (rightly so).

 

After a 4-5 year absence due to overfishing by commericals, we are seen the Spurdogs again inshore ... (for me, one of the best fighting fish around for its size) ... We fished in 70 fathoms a few weeks ago, a mark with Whiting up to 2lbs ... it was full of Spurdogs also, and if you were to slow in getting the whiting up you got it back in bits, devoured by the Spurs.
