[@JW-wp1qt]

Another great vid and you've beaten the Locker boy to it! 👍

[@SlippyLimpets]

He's giving me a head start this week 😄 glad you liked the vid👍🎣

[@johnbiff3100]

oi oi slippy thats more like the scotland i know bloody cold hahaha fair play to your young lady she is not shy when it comes to rock hopping shame she did not manage to catch a nice size fish but hey up she will be whooping you soon mate .. looking forward to the next video .. take care have fun and tight lines

[@SlippyLimpets]

Yeah she's game for most climbs but told me where to go on some of the marks at wanted to fish 🤣 She kicked my arse at bass fishing last year, hence the reason why there's no video 🤣

[@welovetofish5669]

Fantastic video with no blanks a great session, tight line's always catch you on the next tide 🎣🐟👍👊

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks guys, glad you liked it!! Tight lines 👊👍🎣

Great series, good to see different venues , had to laugh at the Lucy dance at the end 😂👍👍

[@SlippyLimpets]

I didn't know she'd done the dance until I finished editing- she's a cheeky one😄 Glad you enjoying them👍

[@c.h.fieldsports9876]

@@SlippyLimpets that’s because you’re turning her into a mountain goat too 😂, but yeah great fun , look forward to seeing the next one 👍👍👍

Once again, I liked before I watched, we know it's going to be good

[@SlippyLimpets]

You're the man👍🎣

[@davecosgrove8787]

We couldn't bu buy a bite when we were there last summer. It was either shallow and sandy or 80ft cliffs. Great fishing.

[@SlippyLimpets]

You're right about that, it does seem to be a place of extremes!

[@stellajayne]

I get such a lot of pleasure out of watching you videos Slippy - it's a brilliant break from the humdrum realities of everyday life. Thankyou - and keep on doing what you're doing. Regards to Lucie too - she's a diamond!

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thank you so much for your comment. It means alot that I can offer a bit of escapism

Haha, netting a fish is definitely going to be her next lesson.

[@carlgustafson4982]

Nice work guys, I love the scenery, and what an awesome looking place.

[@SlippyLimpets]

It is lush up there mate, a wee bit different from whitley 🤣

[@reiverone]

Very enjoyable video from both of you. Looking forward to seeing Lucie landing her fish, she is so enthusiastic. Till the next one, cheers.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Glad you liked it, hopefully have the next installment out in a day or too. Tight lines👍😀

[@McQuarterlight]

Hi Slippy, glad you enjoyed some fishing up here in Orkney. Well done finding marks as can be tricky to find enough depth. Im out most weeks for the Pollock. That was a short-eared owl you saw btw. They hunt during the day and can be pretty big. Seem to have done really well up here this year - seen loads of them. Were swooping down at us in June when they must have had little uns. Like to see you back to try your luck with the cod.

[@SlippyLimpets]

It's an awesome place! I've got another trip planned for early next yearnso hopefully find where the big fish live!

[@SOMERSETBEACHFISHINGtony]

great video mate , also good to see lucy out with you shes getting hooked tho chap it wont be long before shes out fishing you mate , all the best to you both

[@SlippyLimpets]

She's a natural! I took her bass fishing for the first time last summer and she beat me on her first session. Good job I can edit her catches out so I don't look bad 🤣🤣

[@SOMERSETBEACHFISHINGtony]

@@SlippyLimpets hey chap my mrs is the same mate she puts me to shame every time i take her fishing , its not good is it lol

[@SlippyLimpets]

Seems mine is better for bass rather than pollack 🤣

[@ianturner3033]

You always find such amazing, out of the way venues. The scenery, the wildlife, everything. And capture it so well at ground level and with the drone.👏👍 Add to that your presentation and enthusiasm, why wouldn't I want to be subscribed. 👌👍 And now a new member to the team. 👍 I'm guessing she does the choreography. 😁😁😉 Thank you for sharing.👏👍👌 Stay safe. 😷

[@onemorecast5150]

Very well said. You summed up my feelings perfectly.

[@stevecoppin4278]

another cracking video and the colours of the fish are brilliant

[@SlippyLimpets]

They are, loads more colour than the fish up at eyemouth and St abbs

[@valentinsava6787]

Nice video guys, thanks for that...

[@SlippyLimpets]

Our pleasure. Thanks again for watching

[@rupertdebaire360]

Another great video and well done to Lucie for climbing up and down the cliffs,

[@SlippyLimpets]

Aye, she did well on some of those descents. There were some I wanted to try but she told told me 'politely' that there was no chance of her going down there 😄

[@peteburnett1108]

Another great video, looks like the Brough of Deerness area, blowing a gale when we were there, but looked fishy.

[@davidoldboy5425]

It's ALWAYS blowing a gale there lol.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Well spotted, it was blowing gale while we were there but thankfully it was a westerly so were sheltered by the cliffs. It is fishy but hard to find deep water

[@SlippyLimpets]

That was my impression too

[@davidstorton910]

Nice to see you giving yer missus rock climbing lessons, some of the marks you fish are sign posted with tomb stones I SWEAR

[@SlippyLimpets]

She's got her head screwed and happy to tell me where to go if the mark is too serious for her, no matter how many lessons I give her

[@chriswebb6922]

You should have brought the yak, we have been catching cod, pollock and haddock off the brough of Birsay. And big dogs off Deerness. Good to see you have found some marks and fish.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Sounds great! I would have loved to have been on the yak, got another trip planned for early next year so maybe bring it up then.

[@davedawson9851]

Eyup Nathan. Well I'm back and I notice in the comments that everyone has been completely taken with Lucie. What a wonderful new facet in the cut of this glittering channel. She is the very epitome of charm and I would dare to observe without fear of contradiction, of the 'glad grace' that moved W B Yeats to pen his great work of romantic poetry. All of this new joy, brilliantly counterpointed in your edit by a Fulmar rolfing up onto the camera in POV is an entertainment dynamic that your peers can surely only admire in silent astonishment. I do not subscribe to Mr Locker's channel and can claim no special privilege of knowledge here, but I'll wager a tidy sum that no chicks will be seen squirting on his lens any time soon. I wish you and Lucie continued happiness and good fishing and I'll sithi after, Dave.

[@chrishullah5000]

Thanks for sharing the video's of your great trip. Can I ask what landing net you have now please? TIA

[@SlippyLimpets]

It's a Spro Freestyle Xtender net handle with an HTO folding net head. Glad you liked the vids 👍🎣

[@mickhardstaff6605]

Thanks buddy. I'm back now but I honestly didn't want to leave. Will be heading back next Feb for some bigger fish. Tight lines 👍 🎣

[@sloth4666]

Stunning scenery!,even if it does stink of bird turd😂 look forward to next instalment

[@SlippyLimpets]

Cheers mate 👍 🎣

[@grahamcook7181]

Great video and wildlife. Think you have been lucky enough to see a Snowy Owl rather than a Barn Owl - very rare bird but location and time of day is right for Snowy Owl and wrong for Barn Owl and Lucies' comment of it being 'massive' is key.

[@SlippyLimpets]

I hope so, I've never seen a Snowy Owl so would be great if it was. Other suggestions have been a short eared owl which are apparently pretty common up there. I need to swat up on my owls!

[@kevinfletcher7471]

I'm at the opposite end of the country , got easterly winds mild to strong, you can catch ballan wrasse all day long on soft plastics but no pollock or bass reccied a mark today , for tomorrow 🤞 tight lines

Hope your new mark paid off?!

[@kevinfletcher7471]

@@SlippyLimpets got down there ...easterlys all week but you have to make the most of it. Had some stunning ballan wrasse , plagued by pouting . You would have been proud though scaled a cliff near lizard peninsula stunning Mark, I'm 💯sure right tides right winds bass city , all I caught were some massive cornish mackerel no bass ...I'm blaming the easterlys that's my story and I'm sticking to it 😁🐟

[@SlippyLimpets]

If it's any consolation, John Locker says the same thing about easterlies down there. At least you landed some fish though. I've fished the Lizard and it is tough access, good going getting down👍🎣

Have you tried circle hooks?You seem to be losing fish a lot. I swap the hooks on lures for slightly bigger hooks,I found that the fish were taking the lures,but the hooks weren't contacting the fish (too small)

[@SlippyLimpets]

I've been using 1/0 Decoy jiggin' hooks to replace trebles for years and not had any problems with them so thought the 3/0 would be just as good. Obviously is was wrong. Thanks for the suggestion, circle hooks make sense so will give them a go!

Would using trebles have helped to keep them on the line?

I love pollack stuffed with chorizo, wrapped in bacon and then baked in the oven for 60-90 minutes depending on size.

I don't normally keep pollack, not that tasty but that recipe definitely floats my boat. Will have to give it a try, thanks for sharing!

[@markstott6689]

@@SlippyLimpets My pleasure. I'd had the ignominy of my then girlfriend spending the afternoon with me before she went to work. She caught a 2-3lb fish after dropping the rod and having a break. Me. Nothing. After 8 hours I hadn't had a sniff. In the last 25 minutes before the sun finally set I landed 6 fish. The final one a 6lb Pollack. It was the biggest fish that I'd ever caught. It gave me a fair whack in the face with its tail too. I rushed home and chorizo and bacon was what I had in the fridge. It was fantastic. My only regret, no fresh herbs to add to the cavity with the chorizo.
