loch lomond

Yup. It really does not take many of those beauties to make a trip very good.

Where abouts on the loch did you catch it??

Before i start i would like to point out i am not a lure angler.

 

I come from glasgow and have fished lomond quite alot, but i am by no means an expert on it.

 

If you are boating then i would suggest south of balmaha harbour around the mouth of the endrick. There is a large sand bank due to the sediment from the river and there have been many large fish caught there. I'm assuming you are piking, but theres a good chance of a salmon and/or brown/sea trout about there aswell. I would tend to stick to the east bank of the loch, the majority of the west bank is very faceless.

 

I would give the central islands a bash aswell, canny mind there names sorry

Inchmurrrin, Inchfad, Torrinch, Inchlonaig, Elanderoch, Inchcruin, Clairinsh, Ceardach, Keppinsh, Bucinsh, Fraoch Island, Inchcailloch, Inchconnachan, Inchgalbraith, Inchmoan, Inchtavannach, Isle of Inveruglass, Eilean I Vow and Tarbet Isle are the main ones.

This fish came from the north of the loch about 2 miles north of Inveruglas it followed the lure in and took about a rod length out,hell of a shock when they do that, it was the only fish that did not take on the drop off.

Good stuff. A 14 is a good pike for lomond these days. The seal that set up home for a while decimated the already pressurised pike stocks and good fish are fairly hard to come by at the moment. Luckily the seal has been dealt with so hopefully the pike fishing will recover somewhat.

It is expensive especially as every time you get to a tackle shop you seemingly end up buying more lures (is all subliminal too f*x must have some sort of gas they release that make you buy more lures)

Lure fishing (and buying lures) is very, very addictive

You can say that again. The other day I found a wooden box with six Creek Chub Pikies in it that I just cannot ever remember buying!
