Used to go sea fishing out of Saltcoats harbour in the 80s when i was a kid with my father & brothers. The Helena. was our boats name. Filled the boat back then. Especially if we hit a shoal of makeral. Great memories. Shame theres not a single boat in the harbour now. 😢

Fantastic Nico I love the more sheltered kinlochleven had a great summer there caught a P B wrasse this year find they are a bit hard to identity.I think it might have been a corkwing wrasse using a small HTO lure took me 2hours of preservering at the rock wall but we'll worth the wait

I was in wemyss bay last week nico and I cast every spinner I had in my box and never got a touch … what you doing differently to me? 🤷‍♂️😂

[@NicolasValentinScotland]

Most spinners will catch fish , lures must be fished close to the kelp bed at reasonable speed . The line used can play a big factor , I use a fine strong braid , location and tide also play a part . and the number of cast .. many factors . it's not a science , it's an ART !
