First day out for the sea trout 20th February 2024 still bit early but had a good day out , just got myself a belly boat so loads more to come thanks for watching 👌🎣and tight lines
Nice video, and an enjoyable day by the looks of it in stunning scenery. Loch Fyne ? That said, anymore vids with that graunching reel and I’ll be tempted to buy you a new one myself !
Hi Kenny go on to RU-vid Dougie his name is his channel is piscator UK fishing all about the bombardier on sea trout and his local from you mate great guy
Well done mate and glad you returned them👍Nice to see Sea trout returning to this river estuary. A wee history lesson: The fishing for migratory species in this area was destroyed by sea lice and escapee Rainbow Trout & Salmon from Fish Farms in Loch Riddon and Kyles of Bute through 70's 80's and 90's. The Escapee Rainbow Trout entered the river and ate everything. Dunoon AC started a program of restocking. It looks as if their hard work is paying off. Not sure if you are allowed to fish for sea trout in the sea or estuary in February. Thought you needed a permit if you are targeting sea trout even in the sea?
@@lastcastthistimelolanymeth7163 The issue of permitted fishing in Loch Fyne for migratory fish would be best answered correctly rather than defensively , clearly the gentleman is unsure of his position.
Unfortunately the loch in question had a bad couple of years ,high water temps made lice problems for the smolts and finnok , I managed a good fish up the river last year and lost a salmon ,but very few small fish about Unfortunately. The estuary used to be my favourite spot as a kid but I tend to give it a miss these days, the farmer has the rights from the fence post down and above that is a time share by Andrew barker.
@@lastcastthistimelolanymeth7163 cant lie mate back when i used to be able to keep 1 (its all catch and release now in northern ireland now) i used to make quiche with them and they where freakin devine made with seatrout, id reccommend it lol 🤣👍
I’ll give that a try 👌, I didn’t know in Northern Ireland you couldn’t keep one it’s not the fisherman that’s the problem it’s the boats out netting them and protecting the seals 🤦♂️
@@lastcastthistimelolanymeth7163 no mate it certainly isnt the rod and line anglers fault, i caught plenty over the years but i made sure i returned fish too, as you say netting and seals do damage plus untreated waste water over here and slurry in all the wee burns hasnt helped and ill not even go into cormorants and sea-lice, its a wonder theres any left here!
