A bit dodgy at Tarbat. The ledge I usually stand on was getting a good dose of waves which were quite capable of washing and old twat like me away to Norway. Trip abandoned. Home for some warmth and a bottle of Merlot and sit and watch the rain battering the windows.

17th March & 4th April trips to Rhue Lighthouse. No seabirds apart from a couple of cormorants. One seal. No fish either. Tried mack strips , assorted lures. Absolutely nothing. Tried different depths etc. Not a touch :( Maybe too cold yet. I dropped little bits of mackerel close into the rocks...

So, finally made the trip to reccy Strome Ferry las Sunday. NB minus 7 degrees C all the way from the Black Isle. Screenwash did not kick in until one hour after reaching Strome Ferry. Disappointed to find the Heras fence totally in tact and padlocked. Could not access the wharf area. The...

Hmmm Sticky Dip eh? Not much chance of that. Once upon a time it was Warp 6 then impulse engines only and now I can't even get out of the Space Dock. So, you can see why I spend time making rigs.:confused:

I was planning a wee trip to Loch Carron next Wed 29th but the weather is looking decidedly "cool". We will probably do a reccy & take LRF kit on the off-chance. Does anyone else have experience of Loch Carron at this time of year? I only work Mon ,Tue & Wed now so hoping to expand my horizons...

A wee trip to Rhue Lighthouse.24 September. My mate caught 13 + wee pollack/colefish on a feather and toby combo. Two pollack to 1.5 lb. I got a 1.5lb pollack to float-fished mackerel strip second cast. Then nothing for me for two hours :( . Rising tide. It's the way it goes at Rhue. Stunning...
