Banff

[Gummage]

On Sunday I’m going up to stay near Huntley with a Wiltshire friend who has a property up there. He has a little used (but overhauled) boat there. I think it’s a Warrior or similar. 
I went once before but his trailer bearings were shot and we couldn’t get to the ocean.

Fingers crossed, this time we will launch at Banff.

 

I hope to report on our achievements here.

Charlie suggested how we might make use of the topography to find Cod and Haddock . Turbot are caught from the shore there.

My pal has been disappointed with his trips so far.

 

His son did well last year , using the stick the pin in the donkey technique. (No mark recorded)

Has anyone any experience of this area ? All tips and encouragement gratefully received.

No experience there, the sea bed looks interesting. You might need a lot of line on your reels😏

If flapper skate are in the area John Locker has done some detailed videos on you tube, smaller species will fall to Jigs and Lures even heavy feathers. Good luck and I hope the weather gods are with you.
