Thanks mate appreciate the view and comment, more planned so be sure to hit subscribe so you don't miss it

I have done the oats thing a few times but never noticed much difference

@@discovering_scotland but the stuffing is nice I live in the west coast of Canada and that’s where I learned this I’m also from edinbra and used to go up to tarbert and fish for sea trout in the west loch caught some beauty’s there and loved the mussels ma mooth is watering thinking about them We have billions of mussels in the pacific but they are the giant blue kind and they are too chuck to enjoy but we make mussel Brie out of them cheers

@@stephenswistchew7720 this is the same Loch as Tarbert just the opposite end of the loch. Love fishing for the sea trout they put up a great fight

@@discovering_scotland I kinda thought it looked familiar small wurld cheers again

Thanks Fraser, can't beat it

Thanks 🙌

Thanks man, really appreciate it 🙌

Appreciate that mate thank you 🙌

Hi mate, thank you for the kind words and appreciate the sub, I'm aware of the legal situation with the sea trout but thank you for the heads up

Thank you so much 🙌

Thank you man, really appreciate that, plenty more to come and away to film another catch and cook today so be sure to subscribe

Thanks

Thanks mate appreciate that! Got about 5 other vlogs to work my way through so plenty more to come

@discovering_scotland Nice one! I have about 5 or 6 sitting on the back burner too, would rather be out than editing, and wild brownie season will be on me before i know it!..🎣👍

@@ALochOnTheWildSide I'm the same mate too busy being out, trying to clear the decks before my trips all start again this year then keep on top of them

Thanks mate

Thanks mate appreciate that! We used to go fishing at Furnace when growing up, you are very lucky to have the loch on your doorstep

Hi brilliant video I used to like fishing off the pier at Inveraray but the last time I went up it was closed. Whereabouts are you fishing on the loch? And are you able to keep the Seatrout and if so do you need a special license?

@@carlpeel155 hi thank you for the kind words! The pier is now back open this year! Although I have not visited yet so unsure if fishing is allowed or not. There are sea trout all round the loch in pretty shallow water. Permits are required for sea trout and the permits vary from location to location so always research before you go although I've never had anyone ask to see one

I've not picked much from Skye but I have spear fished several times and the seascape always looks pretty healthy, could be so many factors I suppose you'll never know

Cheers 🙌

Thank you for your kind words. In terms of camping there is not a lot of great spots as the foreshore is very rocky, I usually take a look on Google maps in satellite mode and zoom in and out up and down the lochside when looking for new spots and then just a case of checking them out with a few back ups if the preferred place turns out not great. Lures for me the best is a 10g Hansen pilgrim in silver and blue but they are very hard to come by now days, they are the best by a mile in my opinion for sea trout and will catch mackerel and Pollock too, a 12g super sprat in the same colour is a close second. You will not regret booking the edge it is unreal! Message Dave the owner on their Instagram page and tell them I sent you for the best prices

Brilliant mate thanks for the quick reply and good info. Will definitely get a hold of Dave and let him know where I came by it. Cheers mate 👍

Hi, where are you planning on visiting? If its Loch Fyne there is cod but not many and more massive size so you would be wasting your time

Thank you, appreciate that 🙌

@@discovering_scotland Hi James. We are heading back to loch fyne in four weeks for three weeks. I can’t wait. I have learnt a lot from your videos. Are there any bass in Loch Fyne? I have researched it but no mention of them. I would have thought they would come in with the mackerel. Also last time we came up, apart from an abundance of delicious oysters and cockles, I found one whelk. Do you know of any spots where I could get a few more. Thank you. 🙏

@@Justtesting64 hi mate, that's great you are returning. In terms of the bass I've never caught or known anyone to have caught any in Loch Fyne however I do know people have been catching them in the Clyde estuary which isn't a million miles away so wouldn't be a total surprise if they are in Loch Fyne. In terms of Whelks they should be in the same places you have found he cockles and oysters by they can be tricky to get your eye in. Generally looks for rocks that are exposed at low tide and check in and around any seaweed at low tide too

Hi mate, yes a really common issue with mussels from beaches in particular and I'm afraid there is no solution as they are embedded in the meat so won't purge. I get them too but I just don't think they are that big of a deal. I'd say from each big pot I probably get one or two at most and I'm happy with that for the amazing sea food. I'd say one tip is to pick mussels on the smaller side as they don't seem to have many plus I believe they taste sweeter anyway and it allows the bigger mussels to breed on

Hi mate, no permit needed as it's salt water but please check local areas for rules regarding sea trout and salmon catches as these have their own laws. Basically if you don't mean to catch a sea trout and put it back it's not your fault if you are fishing for say mackerel

@@discovering_scotland thanks bud 👍

You require a permit to retain a seatrout in Scottish sea lochs and you can’t fish a river estuary or near the low water mark the law has been there since 2008 whilst you can fish the sea shore for free, migratory fish are protected the distance from mean low water mark is 1.5 kilometres so you’ve broke the law and done a blog on it 😱

The trouble is finding out who to ask for permission! There's rarely any sign to state "private fishing" on the foreshore, and 99% of anglers that you ask will just tell you to fish regardless! When I was on mull fly fishing (catch and release btw) for ST in sea lochs and estuaries, I managed to trace the owners and made sure I had permission, usually free sometimes, a small fee. As you say, dodgy on utube!😮

Remember me next time 😂

@@discovering_scotland😄

Thank you 🙌
