Rock Fishing on Scotlands Most Southern Point | Lure FIshing UK

It's been a while since I've fished from the shore so thought I'd make the most of a small weather window and do some lure fishing from the rocks. The wind was still a pain, but some new lures seemed to work well and I saw plenty of wildlife, so all-in-all not a bad few hours on the rocks.
Hope you enjoy & tight lines

[@Alwyn_Jones]

Great little session, and the safety aspects with the beacon was really interesting. Good to see the seal and porpoise moving through. Proves the waters are healthy and plenty of fish, otherwise, they wouldn't be there!

[@ront841]

Bloody hell slippy you take some chances climbing that cliff, good video though mate.

[@SlippyLimpets]

It's not as bad as it looks on camera, the rope is not necessary, unless you're carrying bags of concrete down, haha. Glad you liked the video👍🎣

[@Pjp43]

Shit myself when that seal appeared. 😂😂😂

[@makemeateeshirt]

I might try that mark after the guy that concreted it and placed the rope comes back and fits an elevator 😅

[@natureisallpowerful]

Maybe an espresso machine and a radiator 😂

Thanks Pat, TL's 👍🎣

[@russellnicholson426]

Top video nafon. I've watched your channel from the beginning. Theese negative posts about safety are bollocks. My opinion you wouldn't do it if it's not good. Keep them comming lad looking forward to winter cod shore fishing. 👍

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks Russell, appreciate that. It's funny, I take all the safety gear down and I start getting negative comments about safety, and they're all about falling in the water. Nothing about bouncing down a cliff🤷‍♂️ Tight lines mate

[@BrendaWilson-hq5gg]

Cracking Nathan , keep them coming

[@peteburnett1108]

We live about half hour from here, fished lots of rock marks around there but not down there. Often stood at the top and thought it’d hold decent fish. At 68 think it’s a bit above my skill level now, and def wouldn’t get the wife down there! Cracking video tho!

[@denisgoulding4004]

Brilliant as always

[@nefishingandtackle8557]

Well in mate you up there all time now

[@darthbader6506]

What a great spot and some really nice wildlife too. Tight lines!

[@robbieallan6522]

I thought you were on castletown golf course when I saw that lighthouse, its almost identical. Excellent fishing mark if you can find a safe way to a gully I've seen people pull in double figure fish.

[@SlippyLimpets]

I could see the IOM from this mark. It's an area I've never fished but people keep telling me how good the fishing is. I'll get a trip organised for next spring

[@robbieallan6522]

It does look like a decent mark especially if people have put in a guide rope to get down, you only go to that trouble for a few nice fish.

[@darrenjgreig]

Good sesh there Nathan, enjoyed seeing you back out on the rocks. Tight lines lad 🎣

[@natureisallpowerful]

Good to see you back out mate, you certainly put the effort in. 🐟👍

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks mate, good to be back out on the rocks. Tight lines👍🎣

[@duncanspears9860]

Distant memories of family summer holidays. Good to see rope must have been replaced in last 45yrs. Lovely place, yes pollack, coalies and wrasse. Fairy ring fungi on grassy heath walk over top?

[@taxalterror]

Thanks love the video. Cheers.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@johnwilson8999]

Great footage Nathan especially the big pod of dolphins. I've fished their numerous times and always did very well fishing Ammo frozen sand eel under the float. Managed an 11 pound pollock when fishing with my nephew down there one August, but it was flat calm and massive spring tide wind Northerly hence it being flat. Keep the posts coming very enjoyable watching mate tight lines

[@petermcfarlane9674]

Well done Nathan, used to climb down there late 80’s for some very memorable seasons, some great fish as the tide rips out on the ebb causing the eddies, float fished or jelly worms at the time. Below fog horn another great mark and more comfortable 🎣👍

[@stephenwilkinson4214]

Cheers Nathan ... treacherous looking bit of water, good interesting safety talk on what is available to keep us safe 👍 enjoyed the video mate, thanks Nathan take care 👍🎣🎣

[@17losttrout]

Nice job!

[@TheAndyPeacock]

Great videos Nathan. I can say with confidence that you won’t find me fishing on these marks when you get down there…😉👍🏼

[@derekrushton8675]

Fair play I’m enjoying your videos, sneaky seal

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks Derek, glad you're enjoying them.

[@foylad4862]

Cool vid mate, love fishing off the rocks. 🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

My favourite type of fishing. Glad you liked it👍🎣

[@gingertom45]

I'm going there tomorrow Mon 15/9/23 sailing from Northern Ireland Bangor I go there when weather permits far better fishing there but good to see you fishing all over the country

[@daveredford7272]

Great session Nathan, long time since I was down Lagvag myself - can't go past all those Bass marks on the way!

[@colb3590]

I had one of my best sessions ever at Eyemouth last month, 30+ mackerel and a couple of pollock on a single lure. A seal kept popping up now and again there and it took two of my fish, once just the fish and the second time it took the lure as well. All adds to the excitement. Tight Lines 🐟:)

[@SlippyLimpets]

Sounds like a good session mate. It's a pain when the seals cotton on to your fish. If that happens again, stop fishing and wait for the seal to pop it's head up. When it does, cast close to it and the lure hitting the water should scare it off for a while. You'll know if it's worked because they make a huge commotion and disappear. Tight lines mate👍🎣

[@Chazie_]

glad to see u back mate cam looks good

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks mate

[@adztaylor2277]

Biggest of the day right at your feet... Some of my best PB's have been right in front of me over the years. Like you know, sometimes the long cast is missing the best fish, but not always. Nice catching Nath and all the best. TL's buddy.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Do you think the ones you catch at your feet have followed the lure in and wait till it's got nowhere to go before they hit it, or, are they lurking at your feet. Or maybe both 🤔 TL's Adz and thanks again👍🎣

[@adztaylor2277]

Probably chasing in most of the time, but sometimes laying in wait for the ambush as the lure comes in close. Would be nice to have underwater footage to see what they are actually doing. Seen so many people fishing over the years losing a good possible take because of a hasty retrieve when close in.

[@garyweston4701]

An interesting afternoon out, Nathan - good to see you being safe. I’d not seen that type of flotation device before - recommended over a crew saver auto inflate for mobility, when climbing n rock scrambling would you say? The wrasse was lovely - caught my first female cuckoo at Neist on my birthday at end of Sept, and my first Ballan wrasse this Sunday just gone out exploring on Beara peninsula; a chunky 46cm beauty! Teeth like a piranha! Unhooking and returning was interesting .. Stay safe and keep up the positive lure catch n return. Inspiring stuff yet again. Best wishes, G

[@SlippyLimpets]

Yep, definitely more comfortable, G. More importantly, IMO, when inflated the bulk of those full pfd's make it nearly impossible to climb back out of the drink if you slip in, unless you deflate it, which is the main reason I've never worn them. The Alto's are a open ring so you can climb back out. No good if you're unconscious though. Blimey mate, sounds like you're getting about and a nice birthday present, those cuckoo wrasse are one of the prettiest fish in our seas. Hope you're giving the bass a go while you're over there, you're in a top-notch area for them and get that DD pollack. Tight lines mate👍🎣

[@garyweston5116]

Right, I'm getting an Alto one then. Your recommendations have always been spot on for gear and tips, so thank you. I've wondered about the auto inflate crew savers; how restrictive they'd be inflated. I'd want to be out sharpish, rather than bobbing about freezing, and losing coordination and movement. Yeah, i'm doing some miles - perks of being a teacher too, getting the holidays. Loved Beara - stunning area, quiet (compared to Skye) roads that aren't potholed by crazy sized caravans or campers, nobody fishing that I saw, and some 68cm PBs of chunky crash diving pollock! Coalies were massive too! Booked up again for first week in Jan before school returns. Weather restricted my fishing time last weekend - winds up to 55mph aint to be messed with, but can always try to find a wee spot on the peninsula, hopefully. Looking forward to your next boat adventure too - thanks again, mate. Stay safe. @@SlippyLimpets

[@michaelmaher3213]

Fantastic video Nathan. That looked like a fair sketchy mark.well done for going there and making it up alive. Great too see you with safety gear and for explaining each one. Cheers nathan.tite lines as always.

[@CSKlostlee]

I was there 5 weeks ago, same spot. Brought in a few fish heads! Mr seal was ravenous. Nice burger and ice cream at the lighthouse cafe though

nice one Nathan, lovely mark with some good sport on the little rods , appreciate your efforts mate 👍🏼👍🏼

Berkley Gulp has been around for years, probably caught more anglers than fish lol. Amazed that someone took the time to carry some concrete to that mark. 🙂

Mate, Gulp f-ing works. Stop BS-ing.

[@SlippyLimpets]

It has, I used the sand worms for a few years, but these are new models with improved scent andhould be available pretty soon. I know, I couldn't believe it when I saw the platform, not to mention carrying the drill for the bolts in the rock.

[@dazlee3257]

Nice one Nathan 👍 The Berkley fire tail power worms used to be our go to for wrecking around here, I think they were engine oil flavor or something like that. We used to spray them with WD40 too but had to stop that when a punter slipped on the deck, ah the good old days 🤣

[@DavidTYork]

Great to see you back on dry land Nathan, with a tidy session. I was up at Neist a few weeks ago and a seal just sat there waiting for me to hook and fish and then went down to steal it. I gave up in the end. And a great tip on that beacon - I am going to get one for my remote kayaking.

[@eclipsearchery9387]

Catapult and some 9mm steel BB's is what you want mate. Seals taking the piss is no good!

[@davidoldboy5425]

I was over the moon son to see your safety gear, I always worried about you being alone, but a reminder you won't last long in the water, you're young, fit, and a good climber, but that doesn't last forever (unfortunately), take care we all love you. (In a manly sort of way lol) PS you stayed on that mark too long.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks David, I know what you meant 😉 Aye, that kit has been a long time coming, I am a good climber and very comfortable on my feet, but I'm terrible at swimming! It's good that equipment like that exists now.

[@stevecoppin4278]

Hi Nathan It was good to see you back on the rocks mate , ive no doubt it was sammy the seal that robbed you tbh , as always take care & stay safe

[@thetattooedangler]

Last time I went to fish that mark, some poor bugger had fallen off trying to get down, and the cliffs were closed. It's a great place to fish, but it's no joke.

[@ThistleForge]

you should give port logan a go with the boat, its good fishing and only round the corner from there. its also decent from the shore aswell

[@johnrickards1908]

Cracker of a session Nate' and I loved those wild life encounters. That seal was pulling more than your plonker lad😂 At 26.30 I was was screaming "Get your arse off that bloody rock!" Stay safe lad and "Get in!"

[@derekrushton8675]

And a show of dolphins, a good day

[@MsJon52]

to have seals plus porpoises in the area it must have a good fish stock there I would imagine.

[@Oli.Brown.]

That was action packed. Got to agree about lighter tackle as opposed to the heavier stuff. If you watch the Lateral Line, you’ll see what happens when heavy gear gets snagged! Though maybe you might have landed that bigger fish 🤔 (I’m fairly sure that was a big pollack). Also, to whoever put that much time and effort into making an accessible route down with a concrete platform deserves a pat on the back. Very hairy spot there but the only place I’ve had a shore caught cuckoo wrasse! Tight lines

[@SlippyLimpets]

Lobe the Lateral line, and glad they got rid of the boat and returned to the shore. I'd love to catch one of those kingfish, they seem like absolute brutes. Same could be said about that guy who carried the concrete down there

[@RichardJeffrey900]

Fished MOG many times. That's some climb down, the video doesn't really show just how steep it is. Good effort 👍

Nice one mate 👍 and great to see you back out on the rocks 🎣 I really must invest in more safety gear as 95% of my fishing is done alone Regards Arnie

[@londonviking3801]

Great to see you back out on the precarious cliff edges fishing in the deep. You and the seals have a special relationship but this one didn't feel like tug-of-war this time. Big fella too. Tight lines Nathan. Are you keeping the boat in the water over winter?

[@SlippyLimpets]

I love the boat fishing but it felt good to be back out in my natural habitat 😄 There was now way of beating that lad, he was huge! The boat is kept on the trailer permanently, means I can move her around to where the weather and fishing is good, saves on antifouling the Hull too. TL's LV🙌👍🎣

[@grizzlysteele3199]

Always wanted to fish there but petrified of heights, won't even go down the cliff walk from the lighthouse so it's a huge nope 🤣

[@SlippyLimpets]

I used to be scared of heights as a youngster, so I started rock climbing to get passed it. It's much easier now there's a rope.
