positive fishing talk

[codseeker]

well seems as winter season only a month or so away (or will it be a late one )but still there will be good fish due with some good seas aswell no need to put the gear away quite yet im just cutting down on each week it used to be atleast 3 session a week now am lucky to get one in but spring and summer just around the corner im looking forward to some trips away to enjoy targeting different species and maybe new ones also so its really a never ending story just fishing daft i guess so any new comers to fishing get ya self out there and give it ago wether its flatty bashing in the tyne etc or roker pier its all a learning curve and a start where ever you try and dont be scared to ask questions on here there are some helpful guys that will help you out

aye, cannit wait for the spring and summer, its me favorite time for fishin and got a couple species to add to me list hopefully

 

[mickcave83]

aye looking forward to it myself, hopefully better my spurdog of 5lb, smoothound of 7lb, bass 4.4lb, pollock of 5lb and even a bigger conger then a strapy but i cant see me beating my near 8lb thornie.

Would love a huss and another form of ray

This is more like it lads the sun will soon be on our backs gotta say I'm looking forward to a couple of trips over Dumfries way or mog having ago for the better pollock or maybe dunstanbrough never fished it so would love to try that nice to put the 96 layer fishing clothes away for abit lol

Going to try for the smooth hounds again this year around Chapels. Make a nice change to fish in the warm. Hopefully hit a double this year:red::red::red::red:

 

[codseeker]

hopefully i will be down that way try get my first thornbkack ray and the odd smoothound and a chance of some bass too fresh crab will be the main bait

Have to get Deano out and have a meet, quite local for me Not had a big ray from there yet either but even the smaller ones give a decent account of themselves.
Dont think you can beat it when a smoothie hits the bait and tries to pull your rod down the beach though.

yes i had me first one last year didnt know what to expect but when it took the bait it was off like a shot great sport too

 

[Gazz]

Definitely looking forward to it, only prob is i will be living in Canada & Ontario lake doesn't have the type of fish i want. Only a couple more fishing sessions left for me & it would be nice to catch something decent as i have done a lot of blanking lately.

Not long to go now, the season starts April 6 n 7th for me up at Crinnen with another skate fishing party organized by Davem with onyermarks.

Here's one I prepared earlier

belter mate a seen that boat going out a few mornings with partys on when we was up the mull summer gone we was on the east tarbet pitched up whilst fishing

 

[taffy66]

Had a bad year last year due to close breavment ,making up for it this year ,1st trip in april up to oban and loch etive for a week even got myself a couple of new rods looking forward to a break

 

[snatcher]

Roll on the summer and the Mull of Galloway. It is extremely hard to blank there if you know the marks. The exception being lure fishing for bass !!!!!! Hopefully you will be getting a few reports posted from me when we take up our summer residence in Drummore.

Hope all you other anglers have a decent summer season as well

Never caught a dogfish,smooth hound or ray or turbot or sole.

 

[shaun]

same here but hopfully with some advice from the lads on here on marks, baits ect we can add 1 or 2 summer species

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

For Dogfish - go to most S/W Scottish marks throw out ANY fishy bait - Hey Presto...Lesser Spotted Dogfish

I was catching them in Wales the other year on a flattie rod - great fun

luce bay is the best place i have fished up the west coast.

if you go up try dusk for pollock, fish during the night for doggies,conger and bull huss.first light for mackeral and pollock,during the day for wrasse and pollock.

I spend alot of time up the west coast and normally go from friday until monday.

alot of the marks have gullies which at low water empty, i get some net bags and fill them with macky and a brick and throw them in the gully, when the tide comes in it is unbelivable on how many fish swim in the gully to feed on the macky and some times you get mullet which are impossible to hook but good fun trying.

best bait rag, crab,macky and sandeel.

you will need loads of sinkers when fishing for wrasse.

Try and get hold of some old spark plugs or nuts/bolts for weights and fish on a rotten bottom. All I use is spinning gear from the shore for pollack/wrasse/bass

just reading this thread has got me itching to get the summer gear out, hopefully il get a few more smoothounds from holderness way and i really want to get my first thornback.

Im going to be switching to braid for the first time this year for the trips to the mull, im sure i will be asking for advice closer to the time. Id like to catch a mullet this year too, i know there are a few that come from drummore harbour each year so i will be giving that a go. Cant wait
