Been looking at crispy gulls on the map looks really fishy any advice on it?
is that on the left hand side when your on st mary's if so my mate had a pollock there the last time we fished there really heavy ground i also had a small wrasse from the right side of the lighthouse, take plenty of crab with you and keep your rigs simple mate![]()
Sounds like something you might get in STOWELL STREET,at Newcastle they definitely do crispy duck![]()
Cheers mate cracking pics from the guls is it just a lob with 30lb line or distance?
Just a lob into Crisps mate; a longer chuck only means more hard work dragging back through all the kelp - it's thick with the stuff. You can fish low or high tide - at low you can also fish into Crisps from West Bay Skeer (the big skeer on your left as you cross the causeway). At high tide it's just down the steps at the back of the cottages and a short walk to the end of the rocky outcrop.
At the mark that Peter was fishing (next to the pillar) a big chuck can pay off, especially in daylight - if you fish it on a big (0.5m or bigger) tide, you'll get a good idea of where the weed-beds lie with cleaner, rocky patches between them - definitely want a reliable rotten-bottom for both shots.

Best in the flat for summer fish - wrasse, pout & codlings with a chance of pollock. In winter it often fishes good in a bit swell, bigger if it's coming s/easterly, but still worth a chuck in the flat too. Always a popular choice for those looking for a biggun - doublers come out just about every winter; I think the best I heard of last winter was about 18lb and it's often first choice for a few of the Whitley lads in our high water matches.
