It's been a while since I've fished from the shore so thought I'd make the most of a small weather window and do some lure fishing from the rocks. The wind was still a pain, but some new lures seemed to work well and I saw plenty of wildlife, so all-in-all not a bad few hours on the rocks.
Hope you enjoy & tight lines

We live about half hour from here, fished lots of rock marks around there but not down there. Often stood at the top and thought it’d hold decent fish. At 68 think it’s a bit above my skill level now, and def wouldn’t get the wife down there! Cracking video tho!

I was over the moon son to see your safety gear, I always worried about you being alone, but a reminder you won't last long in the water, you're young, fit, and a good climber, but that doesn't last forever (unfortunately), take care we all love you. (In a manly sort of way lol) PS you stayed on that mark too long.

Great to see you back on dry land Nathan, with a tidy session. I was up at Neist a few weeks ago and a seal just sat there waiting for me to hook and fish and then went down to steal it. I gave up in the end. And a great tip on that beacon - I am going to get one for my remote kayaking.

@duncanspears9860 8 ай бұрын

Distant memories of family summer holidays. Good to see rope must have been replaced in last 45yrs. Lovely place, yes pollack, coalies and wrasse. Fairy ring fungi on grassy heath walk over top?

@garyweston4701 8 ай бұрын

An interesting afternoon out, Nathan - good to see you being safe. I’d not seen that type of flotation device before - recommended over a crew saver auto inflate for mobility, when climbing n rock scrambling would you say? The wrasse was lovely - caught my first female cuckoo at Neist on my birthday at end of Sept, and my first Ballan wrasse this Sunday just gone out exploring on Beara peninsula; a chunky 46cm beauty! Teeth like a piranha! Unhooking and returning was interesting .. Stay safe and keep up the positive lure catch n return. Inspiring stuff yet again. Best wishes, G

@SlippyLimpets 8 ай бұрын

Yep, definitely more comfortable, G. More importantly, IMO, when inflated the bulk of those full pfd's make it nearly impossible to climb back out of the drink if you slip in, unless you deflate it, which is the main reason I've never worn them. The Alto's are a open ring so you can climb back out. No good if you're unconscious though. Blimey mate, sounds like you're getting about and a nice birthday present, those cuckoo wrasse are one of the prettiest fish in our seas. Hope you're giving the bass a go while you're over there, you're in a top-notch area for them and get that DD pollack. Tight lines mate👍🎣

@garyweston5116 8 ай бұрын

Right, I'm getting an Alto one then. Your recommendations have always been spot on for gear and tips, so thank you. I've wondered about the auto inflate crew savers; how restrictive they'd be inflated. I'd want to be out sharpish, rather than bobbing about freezing, and losing coordination and movement. Yeah, i'm doing some miles - perks of being a teacher too, getting the holidays. Loved Beara - stunning area, quiet (compared to Skye) roads that aren't potholed by crazy sized caravans or campers, nobody fishing that I saw, and some 68cm PBs of chunky crash diving pollock! Coalies were massive too! Booked up again for first week in Jan before school returns. Weather restricted my fishing time last weekend - winds up to 55mph aint to be messed with, but can always try to find a wee spot on the peninsula, hopefully. Looking forward to your next boat adventure too - thanks again, mate. Stay safe. @@SlippyLimpets

I had one of my best sessions ever at Eyemouth last month, 30+ mackerel and a couple of pollock on a single lure. A seal kept popping up now and again there and it took two of my fish, once just the fish and the second time it took the lure as well. All adds to the excitement. Tight Lines 🐟:)

@SlippyLimpets 8 ай бұрын

Sounds like a good session mate. It's a pain when the seals cotton on to your fish. If that happens again, stop fishing and wait for the seal to pop it's head up. When it does, cast close to it and the lure hitting the water should scare it off for a while. You'll know if it's worked because they make a huge commotion and disappear. Tight lines mate👍🎣

@SlippyLimpets 8 ай бұрын

Do you think the ones you catch at your feet have followed the lure in and wait till it's got nowhere to go before they hit it, or, are they lurking at your feet. Or maybe both 🤔 TL's Adz and thanks again👍🎣

@adztaylor2277 8 ай бұрын

Probably chasing in most of the time, but sometimes laying in wait for the ambush as the lure comes in close. Would be nice to have underwater footage to see what they are actually doing. Seen so many people fishing over the years losing a good possible take because of a hasty retrieve when close in.

@Oli.Brown. 8 ай бұрын

That was action packed. Got to agree about lighter tackle as opposed to the heavier stuff. If you watch the Lateral Line, you’ll see what happens when heavy gear gets snagged! Though maybe you might have landed that bigger fish 🤔 (I’m fairly sure that was a big pollack). Also, to whoever put that much time and effort into making an accessible route down with a concrete platform deserves a pat on the back. Very hairy spot there but the only place I’ve had a shore caught cuckoo wrasse! Tight lines

@SlippyLimpets 8 ай бұрын

Lobe the Lateral line, and glad they got rid of the boat and returned to the shore. I'd love to catch one of those kingfish, they seem like absolute brutes. Same could be said about that guy who carried the concrete down there
