Took the wife, a mate, and his daughter out along the finger in the harbour a couple of weekends ago. You fished it in an old video early in the season and had a schoolie or two. We blanked. Walking back along the finger, after having fished the left-hand side, if you're facing out to sea, we saw LOADS of fish in the weedie margin up the right-hand side, the town side. Live and learn. Gonna pop back this weekend and flick some surface lures over those margins and expect good things to happen! Keep up the GREAT work you're doing, brother. You're an inspiration, a teacher, and, a damned fine angler, Sir!
Another great video. Great work and seamanship. On boring note, you really should have kill cord attached when you are trolling in gear, just in case..
Oban, does the theory on islands and bait funnelling apply to mackerel too? I just fished Abersoch in Wales yesterday, very similar landscape to where you are here, only second time I've ever fished lol and didn't get a thing. Not a bite. Had a fishfinder but battery went quite quick, so that didn't help.
I prefer to fish slow moving water out the back of reefs for mackerel but I’m sure they move through with the tide, they just might not hang around for long
Well spotted, it’s marketed as a light weight sib and is better suited as a tender than what I’m using it for, actually it performs rather poorly in all but the best conditions
Oban - fantastic channel but you are CRAZY trolling alone in a boat with such low freeboard without your KILLCORD attached. Don't PUSH YOUR LUCK. You KNOW this is TRUE.
You guys change your sibs as often as you change your socks,must be freebies. Doesn't really help us guys looking to buy our first when looking for recommendations 😉
Who doesn’t like trying new boats!! To tell you the truth they’re all made in the same factories in China regardless of the brand… build quality is questionable and the ratings aren’t worth the paper they’re written on… perhaps an old zodiac would be the way to go but how confident can you be in glue that’s 20 years old…

Excellent video and nice to see you using my local harbour and fishing the headland. Lovely bass and really looking forward to the next one.
One my favourite in the county
What harbour is it please.
Excellent educational video Oban, very enjoyable watch, matched with some lovely fish.
Love this. Exactly the stuff I want to watch with you talking about what and why. Cheers!
Cracking video again. Keen them coming, my favorite watch, love it when a new video is uploaded 👌🏼
Couple of beauties. Lovely evening fishing
Awesome to see the bass flying in keep the content coming loving the frequent posts ❤
I fish the headland I’ve had some cracking fish off the reef love to try from a boat brilliant video as always
Great video . Keep them coming. Master fisherman.
Loved that mate stay safe
Love seeing you fish my local! Also, I trawl the savage gear sandeel 42g and at 2 mph and loads of line I can get it to 60-80ft deep trawling
Great watch as usual😎

You beat me to it - literally just posted the same thing. You are FOOKED if you slip over, fall in and your boat steams away without you 😮
Nice one Oban! 🎣🎣🎣
Nice fishing fished there once from the shore the tide is a fair push through there perhaps I need to try it again there

nice vid, where do you mount the garmin sensor cheers
Excellent.
Very enjoyable video.
Your SIB seems to have a very narrow beam for it's length. Does that affect it's performance in a swell?
Well spotted, it’s marketed as a light weight sib and is better suited as a tender than what I’m using it for, actually it performs rather poorly in all but the best conditions
May I ask do you keep the fish you catch, as I see you have a tendency to put them back?
I release the majority of fish but I will occasionally keep some for the table
Wicked video Oban nice one. Wonder what it’s like going out the mouth with any hint of swell
Not a lot of fun, I talk from experience 😂
What SIB make/model are you using?
Your gorgeous love the videos like what you wearing a lot ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
