South & West Scotland S Uist Outer Hebrides Location ... 2007.12.26 Mackerel hot spot. This is one of the few locations where salmon farming is not practiced - salmon farming seems to be bad news for fishing, although in Norway (although it is forbidden) it is said that large pollock can be caught underneath the salmon nets. This is an easy spot to get to and has unlimited parking. There are some great walks from here, although none of the locations that I tried on these walks yielded anything. I believe that there are some cliffs a long way from this spot but I did not quite make them. The advice was that large pollock are caught close in by these cliffs. Be circumspect if you try as you will be on your own!!!
South & West Scotland South Uist Outer Hebrides Locat... 2007.12.26 S Uist is one of those frustrating places that ought to fish well but does not when you try! Lots of apparently good marks but they do not produce from the shore, possibly because there is much deeper water a little further out. This place is simplicity itself and can give give fun, albeit I have not caught big fish here. Ideal when the wind howls as it is quite sheltered. The locals also come here. Note Although there are extensive worm fields and worms are really good, (apart from the hassle getting a fork there) the worms and fresh mackerel do not really outshine spinners in the Hebrides for shore fishing in my experience. It is more akin to fishing in Norway.
South & West Scotland Mull of Galloway 2007.08.29 This is the most southerly tip of Scotland and it provides great sport for many anglers. There are many Scottish records held here but anglers are warned to take extreme care as the paths and rocks can become very slippery.The Mull of Galloway is a working farm and Anglers are warned that fences have been erected to prevent stock losses, and care is required.
South & West Scotland Ardwell Bay 2007.08.29 There is a good sandy beach, surrounded by rocks on both sides. There is good car parking and a picnic area, and a good brisk walk to the rocks around the Doon Broch area to the left of the Bay can provide good sport with Pollack, Wrasse and also small Conger

South & West Scotland Terally Bay 2007.08.24 Many species can be caught here at most states of the tides, although most anglers prefer fishing from low water up. Night fishing is also popular here.
