shytalk Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) just to quash the accusations i dont fish anymore !!!! ive just returned from a few days fishing from unst . amazing does not come close to describing the fishing up there . our tally included ling to 40LB , cod to 27LB, pollack to 15LB, coalfish to 18LB along with torsk haddock and whiting , we tried for turbot but conditions were unfavourable besides we were plagued with double figure cod pinching the baits . i have never seen anything like it 8 to 10LB coalfish being attacked by ling on the way up !and in two full days fishing in 300+ft of water i lost no tackle only having to change lures due to fish damage !!!!

plaicemat Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 Sounds great! Can you let me have details as we are possibly going up there shortly as I'm banned from long distance flying at present. I knew there would be something worthwhile. Terry. Quote

Paul J Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 Glad you had a good trip Peter, good to see you fishing again too, tis good for the soul so it is PJ Quote
Maverick Martin Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Sounds like a brilliant trip Peter can now understand why John moved back up that way Must put that on the todo list Martin Quote
Adam F Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Sounds awesome! Defiantly one to put on the list! Quote
Newboy Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 When did you go? I was there on the 9th-12th. The weather was bad, wind was f5-f7 while we were there, so only managed to fish the bit just inside the sound, we could just see Muckle Flugga in the distance but couldn't get anywhere near it. Will do a proper report when I catch up with the paper work. Quote
great white Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Sounds great Pete It must have been good to get you writing a report, 10lb baits Perhaps we should think of that instead of Alderney for 2013, sounds well worth the journey Charlie Quote
niggle Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Thanks for that Pete,sounds brilliant Nige Quote
plaicemat Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Thanks for the details, Pete, I will add that to my data base. Sounds more Nordic fishing than UK. Terry. Quote
adminpbsbac Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Was wondering why we were getting hits from muckle flugga fishing searches and there was a record ling caught here the other week. Sort of proves Peter's point. Quote
