Last day- Staffin Bay

Postby billbob » 29 Sep 2017, 18:48

Fished Staffin Bay today. The wind was very strong from the South West which was slightly offshore.

Found a nice flat bit of rock near to a place called the pinnacles. I tried a few lures but a weighted eel imitation fished from the bottom did the trick. I had 4 nice Pollock two of which just couldn't be stopped from diving into the kelp. A wait with slack line for a couple of minutes freed things up. The largest was just over 51cm and would weigh between three and four pounds. I was almost blown off the rock by the wind a couple of times and when the sideways rain came it was time to go. It was my final session on the island but I have learned a lot. The deep rock marks that I know of have been unfishable due to strong winds. I think that when I come back it will be in summer, when, I believe, the fishing is better.

You've had an interesting angling adventure Billbob :thumb: Shame the conditions ruled out some of the marks you had in mind but you've gained some valuable info for future visits and managed some lovely fish :gp:
