This really was an incredible effort. 10.5 hours driving to the uppermost reaches of Scotland and fishing in freezing conditions for these incredible creatures. This video covers the methods and baiting up, the landing and explains safe practices when fishing. I hope you enjoy the video. Fish welfare is very important to us here at The Fish Locker and all fish were safety returned unharmed.
Here are links to some of the tackle used in this video. I hope it helps.

This video really was a tough one. I would like to make special mention that if anyone wishes to try this type of fishing. Do your research - there are many online forums. And most of all be safe. Take care and tight lines. 😊👍🏻🎣

@robbieallan6522 2 жыл бұрын

Absolutely brilliant, theirs no place where I live that you could target skate from shore, I'm sure people hook em here n there probably up the point of ayre where for a while the largest tope in the UK was caught from shore but I think in a matter of weeks someone on the mainland broke the record again. Anyway it's a hell of a good spot the tides and water current make it a NO swimming area and I'm pretty sure that the reason it's good for tope is cuz or the current bouncing bait fish all over the place so a mackerel flapper rig grip lead trace sends the scent far n wide.

Not much to add to the comments you all ready have received, just really appreciate the effort you put in to bringing us such great entertainment. Agree with other comments that these magnificent creatures deserve some kind of protection and be treated with the respect that the two of you demonstrated in this upload. I would never target these fish unless I was with an experienced angler who knew what he was doing.

@TheFishLocker 2 жыл бұрын

They are protected from commercial pressure and strongholds for the species are protected from any types of commercial fishing. Conservation for the species is working really well. 👍🏻🎣

@peterelmer9114 2 жыл бұрын

Exactly David - to hook one of these magnificent creatures is one thing - landing them and making sure they’re treated with respect is another. These guys showed how much experience and dedication is needed when tackling up for big fish. We all need to be realistic and fish within our limits of experience and physical strength. I caught some 25lb carp from my friends fishery recently and was knackered afterwards. This is on another level !

@davidb.7093 2 жыл бұрын

@@peterelmer9114 Precisely why I think Fish Locker is the best channel if you want to learn to fish responsibly. All his videos teach us conservation. Yes he will take fish for the table but unlike some I've seen in particular on charter boat fishing it's a massacre. I gave up coarse fishing after catching 18 carp in an afternoon session (Biggest 18lb my personal best) and at least 50% had torn mouths I assume from anglers using the wrong breaking strain line. I am now concentrating on sea fishing which I've only done three times. I was fortunate to have help from some great sea anglers who helped me from casting through to unhooking the few fish I've caught. I don't know why but sea anglers have proved far more helpful than Coarse. Thank you for your response.

Some nice big fish to add to your fishing memories and you will always think back to those back breaking moments when you get more senior in years and you wake up in the morning or you are doing a job that requires bending over for periods of time or hauling pots. Your back will be crying in pain and you will remember those fishing moments lol

When I go to my local lake and do a spot of fishing for cats. As soon as that line goes and it has hundred metres in seconds and then it’s locked up for about half an hour. And when you get it so close that you can see the swirls knowing it’s only 6 feet under but can’t see it. And then the line goes really slack and the hook pulls that is a feeling that you’re never gonna let go. To me it’s like having your heart ripped out by a loved one saying that they don’t love you anymore is that bad when it comes to fishing. Keep up the amazing work. Dave
