Going over to the MOG on Sunday

[snatcher]

We have decided to go over this Sunday to our caravan on the Clashwhannon Caravan Park,Drummore and open it for the season. Will stay a week if the weather is ok.

To be honest its not really worth wetting a line till May over there. The thing is I have not fished since we closed the van last October and am itching to have a couple of sessions out!!

I sussed out a new shore mark last year to try for pollack and will try there if the weather allows. All I use for pollack over there is spinning gear and a variety of lures/plastics. There are some strong tide rips along the Mull shores so am planning to try a new technique through these rips over the summer.

Will take a camera with me on the off chance I can induce a take !!!! A report MAY follow LOL

How did you get on John

 

[snatcher]

Spent the first few days sorting out the caravan ready for the season. Intended fishing but the water was filthy on both sides of the Mull so lure bashing was a non starter :-(

Pal of mine on the site boat fished out from Logan yesterday and got doggies,spurs up to 10lb and small whiting. Sorry thats as good as the report gets.

On a brighter note managed to photograph a nice sunrise from our veranda. This is a panoramic view and I "stitched" 4 panned photos together for this.

Looking forward to May when I will start fishing over there in earnest

not a bad veiw to wake up to

 

[snatcher]

Do you know of anyone on that site who rents their vans out mate? could fancy maybe 3 nights over there in maybe july for myself, the lady and the (clean housetrained) hound.[/QUOT

The caravan owners are not allowed to hire out their vans on the Clashwhannon site. Martin and Louise have 5 hire vans for rent though. See Holiday Homes And Caravans, Clashwhannon Caravan Park, Drummore, Galloway, Scotland

I think they may allow dogs in their budget van but you will have to check with them. There is also a small area where camping is allowed,not sure what the charge is. Hope this helps.

There are a few more b and bs in Drummore,I can dig out some numbers if anyone is interested. Also harbour cottages for rent and wood cabins at Ardwell.

I enquired to Clashwhannon at the beginning of the year but they were closed and Martin replied with...

"a few good B&B in the village which I can recommend called Westfield ,Tory Cottage or Driftwood."

No phone numbers I'm afraid
