Common skate fishing Scotland . Gaint 173lb ray from the deep .

/ gavman-shore-rigs-1007...
another adventure to west Scotland on the for a giant skate , all fish where returned with no harm ,
no gafs where used , fishing marks left spotlessly clean as if we wasn't there, please do the same :)
we also do not use barbed hooks ,
200lb mono snood
150lb rig body
100lb leader
80lb briad
was my choice of set up using up and over rig with a 10o hooks you need heavy rods and big fix spool reels to be in with a good chance .

Buzzing for you luke mate. Very well put together video and yet again great to see no gaffs and the fish swim away top fishing

[@SALTWATERADVENTURER]

Wasn't that something the big old girl swimming alongside the rocks before ventruing back to the deep (BEAUTIFUL) 😜

[@Madmicksoutdooractivities]

@@SALTWATERADVENTURER fantastic mate. She was giving yous a wave and a real treat watching her gliding through the water. Its only up the road 4hours for me n ive never fished for them.

[@ianoliver977]

Fish of a life time mate well done ,👍 tight lines 🎣

[@LauraDawn11]

You deserve that luke 👏 yep she probably snagged up,,,however using the right gear and patience meant she went back really well ,,,and wasn't left by an under equipped impatient angler who just snapped off, top man top vid 😁👍

[@SALTWATERADVENTURER]

Really appreciate your comment clearly understands the importance of fish care,

[@rhyswilliams1413]

Cracking fish mate. What was your line set up on the Spinfisher?

[@moodypa]

Unbelievable stuff

[@gavinlangford2984]

Great video..I have a TTR and an SS. I am thinking of getting a penn spinfisher..do you fish with fixed spool for most of your fishing?

[@SALTWATERADVENTURER]

Hey, thanks carnt wait to get back... No I use multipliers, but not brave enough to use briad on them😉 so to get the right lb line had to be on a fixed spool and the spinfisher is a decent reel for heavy work perfectly suited to larger fish skate tope ect, or where a quick retrive is needed such as rocky marks or kelp beds

[@gavinlangford2984]

@@SALTWATERADVENTURER Yea I usually use myltipliers but I always get a slight over run when the lead hits the water after the cast. A lot more to go wrong hence why I am thinking of switching to fixed spool and got my eyes on the spinfisher for rock fishing for tope conger huss and ray. What I am also thinking about fixed spool is that you can just purchase one reel but as many spare spools as you like and tie different types of line and bs on each spool and if you need to adjust just a quick spool change but with mutlipliers you have to buy a few of them just to do this and no need for clicker just set the drag on thhe fixed spool and you go. Will the spinfisher be ok for conger??

[@SALTWATERADVENTURER]

@@gavinlangford2984 spinfisher will do you proud solid reel.... I'm always tempted to go back to fixed spool and stick with them for all the reasons above, I had a few different multipliers before I found one suitable for me...

[@gavinlangford2984]

@@SALTWATERADVENTURER There are a lot of things to worry and keep in mind while using a multiplier. they have to be set up correctly you hav eto keep thumbing th eline on during retrieve which doesnt always result in a good line lae causing more coiling which can cause a birds nest during the next cast. With modern fixed spools and good line laylays the line tidy. Just cast without worrying about anything. If the Spinfisher can handle a 175lb scate off the rocks I am sure it can hadle a20lb conger. I am thinking the shallower spool for braid and the deeper spool for 30lb main line close in for conger also another spool with say 20lb mono. I also think braid will be ok for long distant ray

[@johnblanco768]

Great Lads thats how its done! Perfect I go after allot of Skate dont use a gaff fish care spot on guys. you get odd Halibut as crazy as that sounds skate fishing not been lucky myself but saw pictures of guys that have. Usually in the 30lb-40lb range and returned

[@SALTWATERADVENTURER]

Thanks for watching buddy 👍🏻

[@davecopley4953]

[@scottcarnegie6301]

Great video looking forward to seeing loads more. When is the best time of year for a dabble st scottish Skate? is there a season?

[@SALTWATERADVENTURER]

Thanks for the comment, I'm lead to believe there is no real seasonal difference, we are back in September, we will have a much better chance to catch other species as well👍

[@stuartcampbell9533]

Am glad the fish didn't die of boredom. 4 hr 🤔 guys

[@SALTWATERADVENTURER]

Lmao yeah was long. But apparently that can be fairly normal from the shore, I also think she snagged herself up,, I'd rather not rush snap of and then leave her swimming with tackel left behind 👍

Wrecking marks for likes.....

[@SALTWATERADVENTURER]

Wrecking marks? We haven't named any marks, they have all been left spotlessly clean, any one who puts in enough research will find them just as we did, Im sorry you feel this way,
