JAStewart Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 What kind of fish are you after? Chances are against this but if you are looking for flatfish, there is no better place in my experience than off Mael Beach, in Burra.

Guest Anonymous Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Just out of curiosity, does anybody here ever "Geeng ta da craigs wi a waand"??I love a good pan of boiled sillocks, especially when they are left in the water after boiling, and eaten cold the next day, just like a sweetie. An fur dem dat dusna ken. A Sillock is a peerie Piltock. Which is a Coalfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterliam Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 quendale beach is worth a go.... there is flounders, and turbot.. acorrding to some ... inside knowledge.. anybody catch much at meal then? iv tried it two or three times with no luck... so i gave up.. if you want flounders, that are decent,, go to hellister, and use three hook flappers, or two up - one down with size 2's or 4's (hooks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
