Hang onto your gear mate. Ever thought about trying over on the Mull of Galloway???? I spend most of the summer over there in our Drummore caravan. I hardly ever blank (unless I am bass fishing LOL) over there as the fishing is that good compared to this coast. Its not that I am a great fisherman,just know the marks that produce having fished the area for years.
If you do decide to come over drop me a PM and I will take you out if you want. June to September being the best months.
