Really great watch, I'm enjoying your channel. As a newcomer to the area, it's also very helpful. Thanks.

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks Colin Jenn, really appreciate it!

[@BoatAngler666]

Excellent footage, love the channel 🤘🏻

[@nodecency4564]

Found your channel through Piscator UK (i think its called that). Been on the Clyde all week whilst on leave landing 7 biggest about 4lbs. 6lb diawa sensor straight through to a 10g toby. Keep up the videos mate, really enjoy them whilst away with work.

[@theanglingfront]

That’s awesome, really appreciate this mate, I haven’t fished in over a month due to not having time at the moment, but I’m hoping to get out with the fly rod this weekend if weather permits, so fingers crossed 😆 and as for the Toby it’s a lure I haven’t used in years, I must add it to the tackle box for future reference, thanks 🤘🏻

[@whitetroutchannel]

those wee sprat lures are highly effective somedays, if you use 2 split rings between lure and hook it helps the lever the lure a bit less but there still the houdini's of all fishes, great video pal 👍👍

[@theanglingfront]

Hi Whitetrout, Thank you so much, and yes your right, it’s quite a versatile lure too had many species on it

[@whitetroutchannel]

@@theanglingfront a good lure catches everything ive also had good fishing with savage gear physco spratts 3.5g, ive got everything from sea-trout till gunards with them, anywho i digress mate good stuff and i gave you a sub too 👍👍

used to live near there many years ago. Nice spot

Cheers Aldo, Appreciate it the feedback 🤙🏻

[@davidbarnes241]

Try using two split rings for your lure and have you tried Savagegear Seekers? Great looking spot 👍

[@theanglingfront]

Hi David, will need to try the split rings at some point, and yes, I love using Savage Gear Seekers, always have them in my tackle box, and Thanks for commenting, appreciate it

[@Kevin-l4]

This tip is a gamechanger iv known it for ever and it makes a huge difference.

[@povfishingorkney]

Magic stuff!!

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks mate, hopefully get another video out soon, appreciate the feed back

[@povfishingorkney]

@@theanglingfront I'll look out for it (subbed) I've just switched over to sea trout for the end of the season, nice to see someone using lures instead of the wall to wall "purists " on here. Tight lines fella!!

[@marksearle6429]

Good content and catch! normally lure fish for pollock, coalies and cod on loch long and loch fyne. where do you get your permit for trout from ?

[@soultrader57fishingandmusi25]

Great vid, looking forward to having a crack at these guys in saltwater on mull in August! taking both fly and spinning gear, I hope I can get half as good a session in as this! just subbed, good luck with your channel!

[@theanglingfront]

Thank you very much, appreciate it, and let me know how you get on with your trip to mull

[@soultrader57fishingandmusi25]

@@theanglingfront thanks! We're staying in a nice little Riverside cottage, but the fishing on the river costs £240 per day! So I think maybe the sea Loch nearby.....Pollock, makeral, and maybe dare I say sea trout! That looks a bonny spot where you fished. It's an area I haven't explored, do you need a permit?

[@nonickname3919]

@@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 Hey, good luck on Mull! Sounds expensive that stretch! Is it the Aros River? I'm there next week, can you tell me the Sea Loch you're talking about. as I've been a few times to muLL and can't recall a Sea loch?

[@soultrader57fishingandmusi25]

@@nonickname3919I went last week, sea Loch is Loch na Keal, but it was seemingly devoid of sea trout! Small fish were hitting my swivel when I was spinning, I switched to fly tackle and caught lots of tiny pollock. The aros is private now apart from tenga, which isn't very good for salmon and sea trout. I found some sea trout in an estuary, hard work but caught some small finnock on the fly as the tide crept in, great fun in the sunset! Marvellous place, must get back again! Sorry been bound to secrecy about the estuary, but got permission to fish free from the owner, just asked politely! 😀 There's so much potential out there in the magic land across the sound, would take years to check out the likely sea trout spots. Prob best earlier in the year for proper sea trout, I only really saw finnock. Is there a Facebook group or west coast forum for you boys? Would like to chat more about west coast stuff. My mull trip you tube vid will be out in a week or so, still yet to compose the music 🤣👍👍

[@soultrader57fishingandmusi25]

@@nonickname3919 ps the expensive river was the Baa. Lovely pools, very scenic but didn't see anything apart from little brownies in there, it's difficult to believe they ever sell any tickets when there's so much out there on cheap tickets or free for the asking

[@angusmacdonald9213]

Tiddlers Mate! Come to NZ and catch a decent fish. The ones you are catching are live bait in this neck of the woods lol.

[@theanglingfront]

😂😂 Thanks for commenting Angus 👍🏻

[@redsoutandabout.]

Another good video. Haven't fished up there since I was a kid. Is the parking still a bit of a nightmare? We used to have issues with the locals laying claim to every lay-by and blade of grass. The sprats are fantastic lures, we used to use anything that was blue and silver. I might take a drive up this weekend and give it a go. Thanks again for another good one.

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks mate, really appreciate it, and I haven’t had any bother with regards to parking yet, although most of the time I’m on foot as I am local 😃

[@redsoutandabout.]

@@theanglingfront 😂😂😂 So you won't mind if I park in your driveway? 😂😂😂 It's a cracking wee place. There's a few good marks, it's just getting parked and walking that's the issue.

[@theanglingfront]

@@redsoutandabout. 😂 Feel free mate, us Anglers have to watch out for each other 😃 Have you had much fish in Kilcreggan from past experience?

[@redsoutandabout.]

@@theanglingfront had a few back in the day. I still fish marks near by that all throw up plenty of fish with the odd specimen among them. It can be pandemonium in the summer when the mackies are in so I tend to go a little further round the corner out of the way.

[@theanglingfront]

@@redsoutandabout. That’s awesome, have you ever bait fished the area with success? As for me I stopped bait fishing it over 7 years ago as I would literally only pick up dogfish and small codling 😂 might be worth a cast in the near future

[@colmcc-ij3nn]

Nice bit of fishing there my maaaaaaan.What lure are you using .Looking to get out and do a spot of sea fishing with our inflatable. PS subscribed !

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks Colmcc appreciate that, and for the lure it was a 12 Gram super sprat, Blue and silvery colour, recently I have also been using the Savage Gesr Seeker, Sandeel pattern with great success too,

Do you need a ticket to fish there? I fancy giving it a go for sea trout once spring shows up.

Hi joe thanks for advice, I actually ended up playing the sea trout more in recent weeks and what a difference it has made

[@jamiemcdougall8365]

Do you fish high or low tide? Great video 👍

[@theanglingfront]

Hi Jamie, appreciate the feed back, I personally like to fish Low tide in the early hours of the morning or low tide at around dusk, I’ve caught more Sea Trout as the tide starts to just turn in on the flood also, however I have had them at high tide too!

[@jamiemcdougall8365]

@@theanglingfront thank you for the advice. Me and my dad fly fished just at that area but didn’t manage to catch anything. We used to fish round the corner at the caravan park too

[@theanglingfront]

@@jamiemcdougall8365 Awesome, Low tide and wading out on the stretch from Rosneath to Garelochead on the fly would be fantastic for Sea Trout, if I’m on the fly I will use white/Blue bait fish patterns and have had Sea Trout, Pollock and Codling all along that stretch using it 🤙🏻

[@joedennehy386]

Lift your rod tip bro it should be almost 90 degrees, you aren't putting enough pressure on, when you hook the fish

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks for the advice Joe 🎣

[@FamasFTW98]

what lure is that if u dont mind me asking

[@theanglingfront]

Hey Famas, it’s a 12 Gram Super Sprat, Silver and Blue, cost roughly £1.99 🤙🏻 hope this helps

What do you use for sea trout

[@theanglingfront]

Hi Scott, how are you, hope fishing is well, and I’m keen on a 12 Gram Super Sprat, prefer the blue and silver version, such a versatile lure in my opinion, will catch Sea trout, Pollock, Bass and Cod 🤙🏻

[@scooge8630]

Brilliant mate … yeah fishing been good few trout in local streams and the odd pike or 2 in the canal .. never landed a sea trout seen them jump but wasn’t sure if was a dry fly or that .. will give it a go bud thanks 🙏
