A belated update

7/24/2013

First of all I would like to apologise to everyone who has contacted me that I havent yet managed to reply to. Im working my way through my inbox but unfortunately things have been pretty hectic as of late with work and family commitments. On the plus side the weather on Skye has been brilliant the past few weeks and the Mackerel are definitely here in good numbers. Only been out for a few sessions over the past month or so but had a few decent spurdog up to about 13lb.

Very Kindly I have been passed a few photos from fellow anglers Ben Waddington and Dunan Bates. Ben managed this cracking pollock on a dexter wedge from the headland at elgol (top right) whilst Duncan caught a lovely 3lb pollock on a firetail jellyworm from staffin. Both great specimens Im sure youll agree.

If anyone else has any catches they would like to report please get in touch and ill upload them to the site.

Tight lines, Iain

Ian, big thank you for your advice, had our weeks holiday at the start of the month, a windy week but the fishing was great. More than likely be heading up again over the next month or so .

Anyone reading this when visiting Skye don't kill the Pollock numerous locals rely on anglers visiting Skye including the local fishing shop guides and hotels. If we don't look after the fishing we have like much of the uk it won't be there for yourself and others to enjoy. The decline in certain marks on Skye of double figured fish is a result of this. So please return your pollock and if you must take 1 take a smaller pollock and put the big pollock back.
