Good afternoon anglers and danglers, its been a while so here is a wee update. Our bait freezers are back up to nearly full after last weeks hammering and the ragworm has just arrived through the front door. As some have found out this week while we usually get the rag on a Thursday its not always guaranteed due to suppliers and couriers so we are only taking firm bookings for rag to be collected on a Friday around lunchtime!
Also as a small "local" tackle shop of 40m2 we dont have acres of room to keep massive stocks of every branded rod in like "Savage Gear" for example just so you can come in once a year and buy one rod maybe. If you dont see what you want ask nicely and we may be able to help. Or come speak to me in person not have a go at my misses!!
The fishing has been picking up pace with Bass being caught on a regular basis, mackerel and tope are starting to make daily appearances along with all the usual species like Pollack n coalie from boat and shore marks. plenty of Wrasse and mini species showing to all around the region so plenty to come along and target.
The boats Lucky Dip II and Abyss are working well with the mackerel trips starting next week up Loch Ryan starting at £35 each for 3hrs.
Big news too, we are picking up the first of 300 frozen peeler crab tonight so they will be in the shop for sale Saturday morning at £2.50 each. local caught, not imported from abroad!!
