hi folks am going up kirkcudbright at the weekend ,anyone know if much getting caught from shore up there at minute ,am not sure what gear to take up was thinking my big rod n reel for bait fishing and my spinning rod , lures and some floats ..:)
 
thats about all ya need a few lures etc ,bait ,yourself and a mate for safety purposes ,and please take care where ever you go,looking forward to your report when you get back
 
A buddy of mine was over there the other saturday, he had lots of doggies (including double shots) and pollack on the float, so it should be a good place to try at the moment - better than round these parts anyway!!

just came back from camping there, no rod tho, check out solway view campsite, cheap as you like and a farts breath from ross bay and i guess, point!

definatley going back with rods and mates, plenty of fresh mussel to be had from the rocks around small bays under the campsite, i'm guessin it'd be good bait cos the beaches are made from shells, bezerk!

completely different from the east coast as where our rocks are flat, theirs are steep, as fook, water is deep and the views are excellent.

can't wait to get back!

cheers.........tom
 
If you want doggies, take plenty of sandeels. Torrs Point and Ross Point the best marks. Be careful if its wet. The rocks are lethal. Plenty of flatties in the bay.

No one uses them up there.

All you need is sandeel or ragworm for the dogs and Pollack.

During the matches up there, I use a 3 hook paternoster with half a 4 inch sandeel or ragworm. Its a pain in the ar*e when you get 3 on in one go though.
