Scotland

[pointer]

I want to do more shore fishing and I want I catch as many species as possible so I thought Scotland was probably a good place to go. I know its a big place but I'd appreciate any advise on a few places that novice anglers can get a few fish.

Does anyone fish Kircudbright? I've been up there hunting and it looked ok plus it's close to the north east.

Anywhere that there's a chance of wrasse and doggies would do for now. Also where is the closest mark to us to try for a conger.

Thanks.

Plenty of dogs at Kirkcudbright chance of rays and bass too have also had coalies wrasse codlings and pollock. Certain marks will throw out smoothhounds

Other marks that produce what youre looking for would be whithorn, The isle of whithorn, The mull of galloway and some of the sal****er lochs...I have heard that the old submarine base at loch long/holy loch are good for conger at the pens then you can go as far at loch etive which will throw up a few good species but its a good 5 hr drive..few of us are heading there in the summer

Thanks lads,
I've been to Whithorn when I was a kid, my Dad and Uncle used to fish there. I didn't fish then but they had Ballans, pollack and conger from the campsite and other spots plus tope on the boat. I plan to go up there this year but probably later I'd like to try somewhere a bit closer in the next few weeks.

I only have until September because my hunting in the winter takes up most of my time.
