Shore Fishing on Skye and Lochalsh
Rubh Hunish is the most northerly point on the Isle of Skye. Much of the point is surrounded by sheer cliffsand unfishable but there are still plenty of areas where you can get close to the shore. The very front of the point is reasonable deep but the ground is very rough and snaggy, also you will be exposed to the worst of the wind and tide. The east facing side of Rubh Hunish requires a short scramble to get close to the water but you will be rewarded with deep water and clean ground further out. The west facing side is much easier to access but the water is much shallower, one of the benefits of this side is that you are sheltered from the wind and tides.

Pollack are present in numbers all around Rubh Hunish. The biggest seem to come from the front and east of the point, double figure fish are not uncommon. As with other areas my prefered method for Pollack is a jellyworm on a leadhead. Strangely yellow or yellow tailed jellyworm have always fished well for me here over other colours.
Fishing with bait on the bottom will produce Conger and Ling throughout the year with the chance of Cod during the winter. In the summer months Spurdog will make an appearance, it is possible that Tope also make an appearance around the same time.

To get to Rubh Hunish follow the A855 to Duntulm. There is a red phone box where you turn off to a small car park and begin the walk to the point. The walk is reasonably easy in most places until you reach the descent. The descent is steep and treacherous in wet weather. Definately not advisable if you dont have a head for heights.
