Sea fishing times?

[michael_balmain]

Just wondering what fish are around fae the shore this time of year?

Seen a few coalies and that but nothing substantial.

Going to give loch of strom a bash next weekend.

 

Don't want to be taken anything thats off season/breeding.

 

 

Cheers

Best have a care in the Loch of Strom then, sea trout (and perhaps salmon) will be out of season now and I would expect to find them in Strom.

 

Otherwise anything is fair game really. Look for some deep water to try for Lyries, great sport fish, fight hard and you'll find ones up to and maybe over 5lb if you persevere. Tasty when smoked.

 

Otherwise , it depends where you are fishing: flukes(various species of), piltocks, maybe an olick if you're lucky, maybe a stray mackerel.

 

I'd recommend finding a deep water spot, between the tides.

How deep is deep ..

I can manage a dive of 15 meters

 

Cheers for the advice One will defo be avoiding any sea trout salmon.. sadly its illegal to spearfish for them. Odd since it really is the most sustainable form of fishing there is,

this is a really good place, anywhere along the east side

take the track over the hill from the road and have a wander along the clifts

Cheers for the link.

Lunna ness I presume? Heard about it's pollack. So the whole east side?

Will have to pay it a visit sometime.

Hope there's fine access into the water

 

Best take someone along as it's pretty remote!
