Hard to say really as we go through periods of catching every time we are out then periods of catching nothing. I suppose as a average trolling session lasts around 12 hrs it's probably around 24 hrs per fish.
I just wish I could get out more.

That's encouraging to hear, keep 'em coming.

Can't wait to get out again.I need a few days trolling to really get a feel for it unfortunately the Loch I fish most has salmon so no trolling on a Sunday.

it kind of limits me.

Superb specimens again Fergie! stunning looking fish.

Expecting the Rutland Browns to go on the feed soon, it has been a mega year for fry this year for them to munch on.

We had a repeat capture fish earlier in the season, it was caught at 8lb 8oz in October last year, it was caught and returned again in early May at 10lb 4oz!

They fairly put on the weight when they go on feeding mode Nigel.
No ferox yesterday 12hrs + trolling for two wee pike.

Spot on fergie,lovely fish,do u get most on lures or trolled dead’s?

Posted: **Wed Sep 05 2018 21:37**

Some years it's all deadbaits and some years it's lures . This year is a lure year.
We fished for three full days when we caught the above fish. I used a mix of deadbaits Charr,Dace,salmon smolts,trout and only had a jack and a pike around 10/12 lb. We had three ferox with one lost all on lures.

First of the season for me.
Not the biggest but very welcome after a string of blank freezing windy days.

If you dont mind me asking ,
just out of curioisity , what is the orange ball (looks like a cistern ballcock out of a toilet ) on the side of your boat all about ? thanks

Posted: **Mon Sep 17 2018 07:54**

It's to show that I am trolling lines out the back of the boat and other Loch users should give me space when passing.

thanks

I've been asked about the ball a few times.

Fergie was that you out on Monday?

Posted: **Thu Feb 14 2019 08:54**

Balmaha.

Yes opening day. Never seen a fish. Im stuck up at the islands just now. Its a wee bit lumpy and im not moving in the dark.

Posted: **Sat Feb 16 2019 06:39**

s**t I'm just getting ready to head over.
Och well if it's to rough Al just come back.

Posted: **Sun Feb 17 2019 18:00**

That's a fine boat you have I will recognise you next time.

Ended up not to bad yesterday the forecast was wrong. I only had one 6lb pike.

Posted: **Mon Feb 18 2019 06:56**

It was horrible Friday night. Big squal came in back of midnight. Had to get up resecure the boat in the rain. I was staying till Sunday........but left on Saturday....it was that good!

Posted: **Mon Feb 18 2019 09:26**

I heard that wind come through and nearly text my mate to cancel.
I hear its been pretty dour I spoke to a guy who had been there since Thursday for two jacks.

Thanks pal

Very nice Fraz

Yes cracking fish mate. My buddy had a 14lber pike fishing from the bank on the big loch a few miles from pitlochry, not the obvious f one, the one on the moor.. It was foul hooked, tangled with trailing line,(we had to remove 2 trailing hooks from its gob) so feeling guilty he only took one quick phone photo as we didnt really feel it was fairly caught. I'll try and rake the photo out, I regret not taking proper photos, it was a beautiful fish.

Aye I know yer pain mate a lot of my pics this season have ended up being night fishing self takes which in oor weather can be more than a handful.

Aye that would be good to see if ye can dig it out.

Something special about a big wild troot.
