That's an expensive couple of weeks mate 🤦♂️ At least the weather came good and some stunning fish in the end. Watching you pull that skate to the boat with no gloves on I was wincing.
Blooming hell you had a time of it on that trip mate 🥴 on the fishing side of thing's, cracking skate on that wee rod 💪🏻🎣 and some nice tope 🎣💪🏻 well done sir 👏🏻💪🏻🎣 Regards Arnie
Wow what a great skate when it first appeared I thought of those famous words we are gonna need a bigger boat. Great video as usual sorry to hear about all your grief but s##t happens happy days 🥸👍
Great video as usual David but sorry to hear about the numerous catastrophes along the way. The fishing seemed to be pretty good so I hope that went some way to compensate you for an otherwise disastrous trip.
Some very Nice fish and rewarded for your perseverance and subsequent dramas. Seems the Bobbies over there like us, Sunday 5am Castle Douglas, they handed it to us personally 🤦🏻♂️lol
Aww mate, what a nightmare! I feel your pain, lost a new rod over the side fishing with my daughter last week…I’m still coming to terms with it 😂 Great content as always, looking forward to the next one
At slack tide try slow retrieving a filet of mackerel you can catch them at all depths I used to work for me when I fished for tope in the Sw scotland nice boat you have I had a raider 18 as well lovely boats loved your video keep up the good work Tight lines wullie
@@williamscott2330 cheers mate I’ll give that a crack 👍 yeah the raider is a nice fishing platform, just a bigger to get level on the trailer 🤦 thanks for watching and the positive feedback 🙏🙋♂️
Really enjoyed the vid pal. it is very strange how things go wrong in a series. I reckon you went above and beyond the usual three tho, at least ya got Tope.
Hi Dave, great video and what a catch with that Skate. Sorry to hear of the scam, roof tent and fine. Hope that did not spoil your trip too much. Tight lines for the next one.
Yes, I really enjoyed the video. Have experienced a few minor disasters myself recently, so can certainly sympathise with you and your tribulations. Amazing to get that beautiful skate to the boat on such light gear. A combination of both great gear (well done Daiwa and Penn) and angling skill (well done David)! Great videography as always.
Arh David I proper felt for you there mate after you described that run of bad luck .. testament to your personality how your there sat calm and not swearing while talking through the mare after mare ! Great footage and some great fish caught on the up side 👌🏻 Diawa kenzaki range are brilliant .. don’t know if you own one or have tried one but there kenzaki beach rods are real quality and so nice to fish with .. I’ve got the 14ft one and I’d easy put it up there with any of my century rods .. think only gerrys sell them , thanks for another great vid mate .. get the lotto on as ya luck can only get better mate ..
@@Markw13 cheers Mark. Yes some very frustrating events, lotto ticket definitely due 🤣 Ah yes I’ve heard about them but never seen them, sounds like they’re a good piece of kit👍 thanks for watching and tight lines 🙋♂️👍
They say bad luck comes in threes. For you that sounds more like three hundreds! Also I don't think that rod was supposed to bend quite like that 😂 Thanks again and hope your fortunes change.
@@Oli.Brown. haha exactly Oli! Everything I touch/look at/think about immediately turns to sh!t - I’m frightened to leave the house 👀🤦🤣 Aye things have to turn at some point! Thanks for watching, tight lines 🙋♂️
Christ Dave, you've had it rough mate! Well done on the Skate though, thats no mean feat on light gear. I'm up there for the week next week on my annual Bass hunt, hope the weather behaves itself. Tight lines.
As always very nicely filmed and well edited video. Sorry to hear about the 'challenges' on the trip, better luck next time. Can't complain about those fish mind.
Hi Dave, what a video the ups and downs of fishing you couldn't write it, apart from the drama some cracking fish, I don't think that skate liked the fresh air the way it kept diving back down, keep the videos coming, hope the car gets sorted quickly, tight lines.
One of my favourite summer locations,, we have had some tremendous pollock fishing at port Logan from the small boats fantastic location 👍 well done mate 🎣
Some lovely Tope to the boat there and that skate is something else on light gear! Just got back from there myself fishing the Mogsaf species hunt, similar to you weather wise, 3 out of 5 days on the boat hoping for much better next summer!!
@@matthewsprawling5168 cheers Matthew, yeah quite a scrap that’s for sure! How did you get on with the species hunt? Which boat is yours/were you on? Yeah weather hasn’t been great has it.
@@fullcircleangling I was on the father in laws boat Louisie B II and we managed 9th place with 19 species. Still haven’t found the plaice or flounder yet but we’ll get there! Are you doing any of the comps next year?
@@matthewsprawling5168 good stuff mate very respectable result indeed👍 new skill set to develop for us trying for the flatfish and smaller species. We’re fishing the MOGSAF 3 Species event in August then the 4 day species comp run by Russ Taylor in September out of the Clash. But yeah we’ll be fishing the comps next year for sure 👍
@@fullcircleangling thanks! Yeah it’s a different type of fishing, you’ll be happy with one tope pup rather than a 60lb so you can move onto the next area for another fish 😂 good luck with your comps and I’ll probably see you over there next year!
Yes Dave another smashing video looking forward to this one , honestly makes me so happy once I see you upload , favourite angler out there keep them coming , tight lines
@@nige6327 cheers Nige. We just park and launch off the beach at Drummore next to the harbour. Sand is decent enough. There’s a sand bar to be aware of around the mid tide mark, but other than that it’s fine. Kilstay is the next bay up and is ok, but the sand is a little softer and it isn’t as sheltered as Drummore I’ve found. Hope that helps 👍🙋♂️
Big fish fishing always a risky element to it regardless of your experience ........ Braid is dangerous even without a fish on ...... Cut on your hand or finger is a good outcome when it goes wrong ............... Good angling nice fish ......... Keep at um.......🎣🐟
@@davidosullivan6351 cheers David mich appreciated 👍 his reel is a Fathom 15 2 Speed International USA made model. Not sure on the rod, it’s a Penn 12-20lbs class but don’t know the model, I’ll check and let you know 👍
Hi there we do not have hire fleet anymore they were all cancelled by the owner as he doesn't want them YOU WERE NEVER SCAMMED AS NO MONIES WAS EVER TAKEN YOU ONLY PAY WHEN YOU STAY . Did you pay if so we never received anything in your name I would advise you to contact airbnb and take it up with them if you paid they will refund it and I was shown this from a group of returning fishermen that have stayed here on the park
@@9tamzin interesting. The bottom line though is that we were left in the lurch with no accommodation and had to frantically make alternative arrangements or we wouldn’t have had our stay over there. Why and how was our booking even taken in the first place?
@@fullcircleangling well I'm sorry but it wasn't my decision so dragging my name into it and calling it a scam it was never a scam I only work here I don't make the rules so again I can only apologize.
@@9tamzin To be honest we had just assumed that there was no such person and it was a random name, so my comments weren’t directed specifically at any individual. Granted we haven’t been scammed in terms of financial loss, we were just massively inconvenienced and dropped in it. From what you’ve said it appears that it’s been more of an oversight and the advert should have been removed a while back, which thankfully it has now. We appreciate the apology, thank you. On the same note no offence was aimed at you personally, it was assumed it was all randomly selected names to hook people in. All understood now.
