[blumath]

hi i`m fishing on the isle of skye end of the month staying in a cottage for a week been there about 5years in a row now but i`m going a bit later this year , usually fish neist point with really great results far better than the south coast and wales area `saying that we almost beet the welsh tope record in may this year with a write up in sea angler last month unfortunately the missus couldnt get the time off for a fishing trip any sooner , so anybody know if the mackeral are still on skye and where to try some beech fishing? / i`m taking my fly rod this year try for some macky`s bit more fun \\

Hi Matt and welcome to WAB. There may be a few Mackerel left but it's getting a bit late in the season and we have not had the best of summers but if your taking the fly rod you may get a chance at some Sea-trout. Good Luck and enjoy your holiday. At least the midges won't be around

Dear Matt

I started a thread on the 'Bushcraft and Field Sports' section on this very subject. Have a shufty at that. I sadly didn't make it to Neist Point (it was in mid-August), but fished with lures almost every evening from the stone jetty at Staffin. It wasn't brilliant, but I did get a two pound Pollack. There was a bloke there who took fishermen out and he returned with a stack of Mackerel most evenings. At this time of year I'd say there will still be plenty of them about as sea temperatures will still be fairly high.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Regards, Chris

Hi mate,i've been to neist point where the impressive light house is,i would imagine it to be a good place for cod fishing in the winter.Also you could try fishing in the coral bay's at dunvegan,might be worth a go,good luck
