- This is a video of a couple of days spent at loch Etive on the west of Scotland. i caught thornback rays and a dogfish and spurdog. I only wish i could have caught more. I fished a path by quarry and from the priory. There's a friend Jim catching spurs too.

Top stuff .enjoyed your down to earth enjoyment of fishing nothing to serious....I live in oban and fished a few times in my Boat on etive so next time your up here would love to take you out for the spurdog etc if you don't fancy that got plenty of fresh bait etc as I work on a creel boat... you can have for your next fishing adventure on etive..
I really enjoy fishing and like to have a laugh when i'm out too but never to serious . Ok i'll keep that in mind thank you for the offer, it's very rarely i go out in boats nowadays years ago i used to get taken out in boats often, it makes a change.

Thank you Arfabiscuit glad you enjoyed it. Scotland is Beautiful no getting away from that. Sorry about delay in reply i'm sure i replied before maybe didn't hit reply button.
Really good video. I am quite new to shore fishing but am lucky enough to live in Dunbeg, by Connel. I got some excellent tips from this video and videos posted by Fishing in The Uk channel. I have been trying both sides of the loch, in many places, to hit on something good. But over the last few weeks it’s been crab, starfish and weeds only. So I thought I would try Ardchattan Priory. So down I went, waited for low tide and thought I am never going to be able to cast that far. The weed bed went out almost as far as I could see. Well needless to say I never got a bit so went back up to the rocks at Dunstaffnage Castle and managed to get a couple of pollock. So still thinking what am I doing wrong I watched the video again. Then I spotted it. I was in totally the wrong place. As it turns out it is far to shallow even at high tide to fish the priory. I saw in the background what you, and Fishing in the Uk, call the priory and realised you were actually fishing at Ardchattan church. The priory, and priory gardens is 2 miles further on. I have been told since then that Ardchattan church is a well known brilliant place to fish. And typically the one place on loch Etive I have not tried yet. So I am off there tomorrow will let you know how I get on.
I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. I have always known that church as the priory and have seen some good fish caught of there. It is weedy there too but seems to be the case around most of the loch. I have another video up showing me fishing here at the priory with another fisherman getting some good spurs from that spot. hope you catch a few tight lines.
Hi Michael, fantastic video's. Please advise my sons and me. Where to fish in West Scotland (sea or loch) in oktober? Rays and dogfish, pollac and maybe skate? Can you suggest a location for that time of this year???
exellent video michael well done on the rays and spur dog iv never had much luck fishing etive from the shore but have had good days from the boats out of airds bay
Thank you john, it's been a while since i actually made any decent catches from there. Never tried the boats but maybe one day.
An other great video Michael, love the otter bit we see them a lot up around here, looking forward to your next trip.
Thank you Shoogel, it's the first time i have come across otters up there. I only wish i had got more video of it.
Whatched this video...again! Great stuff. I fished etive on a small boat we hired somewhere on the loch a couple of years back and had a great time. Having no knowledge or sounders/fish finders etc we just winged it. We fished around the fish pens and had a few good fish. Also found red cod in abundance which was great as we dont get many of them in lancashire!!
I was wondering if you could offer me some advice... i have a camper van (renault master mbw so its transit size) and want to head up there to Etive in mid january after a stay in one of the caobh haven. lodges. I was wondering if you could recomend any possible spots that i can park up, loch side and fish from the van? Ive tried google earth but as ive found out in the past, very small barriers dont show up well hahaha.
Thankyou and keep up the great videos.
Hi Keiran, there are a couple of places you can park up a campervan there, the most commonly used spot is by the priory from there you can go onto beach. If you drive along the road passed the priory all the way up to the entrance to the quarry there's plenty space in front of quarry gates to park up. Also over the other side at Taynuilt pier there is a car park you can park up there and it's just a short walk down the pier to fish of that. Hope that helps.
Thankyou for the reply. Yes that helps a lot. Ive heard others talk of the quarry area too. I will let you know how i get on.
Thanks again and tight lines
@@knpoutdoors4493 You're welcome. Tight lines.
Great video again . I really would like to catch a spurdog or smoothhound , they look just like miniature Sharks . Cracking Thornbacks too . Well done 👏
Thank you Drek glad you enjoyed it. I love catching those thornies and spurs just don't go over there often enough.
cracking video mike , wildlife filming as well as fish ! just as well you weren't looking for a relaxing start to the trip, that first session looked a bit hectic. well done hitting all your target species for the trip.
Robert Gallacher Thanks Rab I was hoping second part would be as busy as first but not so lucky. I'll have to go back soon. As for the nature it's amazing what's out there if you take time to look and be lucky enough to have cam ready.
Hi we are planning to fish etive in feb and its a good 6 hr drive for us so would like to have a good idea of were the marks are before we set off as we only have fri till sun up there . Is the first mark you fished with the boat in the back ground before or after the quarry . Thanks for any info
To answer you're question about area with boat. You head up to quarry then park in parking area, then walk on the road to left reason being you can't park down there. Another spot is the priory (Ardchattan church) a large area to fish here with car parking almost on the beach. You can also fish the front of airport known as the winsock go into North Connel and there is a small car park by the football park there. Another spot is Taynuilt pier the water hammers through here but if you fish of to the side of pier rather than straight out you should be fine. The good thing about going up at that time of year you won't get eaten alive with midges. Baits would be sandeel,squid, bluey,mackie using pulley rigs. Nearest petrol station is in Oban. Check out google maps type in Loch Etive and click on maps will give you and idea of some of the places i mention. The road from A828 to the quarry is single track beware of buses and lorries as well as cars on here there are passing places.
great video man,very enjoyable and informative
Thank you Mark glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant video,I fished that spot before and blanked lol,well done.
I don't always catch myself when i'm out, that was the first time i had a decent catch there but hoping for more in the future.
Great vlog Michael, hope your keeping safe , please could you give me some advice on fishing loch etive , where would be the best place to stay close to where you were fishing in this vlog , and best time of year to stay up there for a weeks fishing , ty for any advice , 🐟🐟🎣🎣👍👍
Well at that time i was probably camping beside the priory/ church. The last time i was up there before this Covid 19 i actually stayed in the Falls of Lorra hotel it wasn't to badly priced for a basic room. Sad to say i totally blanked 3 days of nothing. It was handy in Connel . I personally would say anytime during the summer but beware of the midges they are viscous sods. You asked on another video about boat that i fished beside. You head up to the quarry and park in the car park then follow the road to the right because you can't park down there. The broad down to boat is on you're right a couple of hundred yards along .
@@michaelbird3226 thank you Michael , them bloody midges love me to , I better take a flame thrower with me lol , ty for the great advice , now going to google maps and planning me trip wee man 🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟
@@Jules551 You're welcome tight lines.
@@michaelbird3226 stay safe , and looking forward to new vlogs
Great video. I love fishing etive hopefully be up there a lot more this year. Sometimes the priory is great then other times really quiet. Try smidge for those midges it's a bit pricey but actually works
Glad you enjoyed it Sean. I use skin so soft like the spray but i have to bring it back from the states when i go over. Priory can be a bit iffy at times. Well on sunday past spent 11 hours fishing over there for 1 dogfish caught at the windsock i was also fishing the slip earlier with nothing to show.
It's a long way to travel when u don't get anything Michael. I am hoping to get up soon
It certainly is that hope you get something when you get over there tight lines.
I am sorry Natasha Abailen and others but the videos i put up are concerned with fishing and i would like to keep comments and odd links in that vein. Sorry but i will not add comments that have links with nothing to do with fishing.
Were you fishing Loch Etive July-August time 2018. Think I recognise you
Nope sorry it wasn't me i was in Usa in august. I was up a couple of months before that ..Hoping to get up a couple of times this year 2019.
Great video Micheal
Thank you Callum, i only wish i could have caught more fish.
Michael Bird it would be great to always catch but sometimes it doesn't work out but oh well that's why it's called fishing not catching haha keep up the good work
Yeh fishing would get boring pretty quick if you were guaranteed the fish you want at the time you want them. A blank brings you back to reality. I have had a couple of those past weeks.
Thank you Callum, yip it wouldn't be the same if you caught everytime.
braw video again mike 👍👍
Thank you Frank.
Fun times :)
Yip they certainly are esp over there with the beasts that are midges lol.
