An early start today saw myself and Mark crossing the Scottish border at first light, a light covering of snow and a thick frost greeted us as we precariously launched from the icy slip and headed of to explore the rugged terrain
The mission was to get some action using diving plugs and soft plastics and it didn't take long until my trolled lure was savagely taken and after an awesome scrap I had a good Pollack at the side of the yak
After releasing this I was straight into plenty more Pollack along with Mark bagging a few too
Hectic sport for a near freezing January morning I then hooked into another fish that took off like a rocket and was pleasantly surprised when a nice Coalfish of around 2lb appeared
Then a few more smaller ones
We then headed around the point where the conditions were interesting at times with the swells slamming the cliffs at times and pouring over the many islands I trolled most of the way and not a touch in the exciting water quite relieved at some points that I didn't have an angry fish to deal with whilst keeping an eye on the odd rogue swell coming over the rock islands a stunning and exhilarating stretch of rugged coastline could have quite happily stowed the rods and just played
With the fish not playing in the white water we headed back around and switched to soft plastics picking up plenty of Pollack and a few Cod
Stunning place to fish and paddle
A most enjoyable session
Andy
