    Report on-board Blue Fin

    That's us well into a new season now and there's been the usual mixed weather, but on the whole the fishing has been showing a lot of promise for the season ahead. The skate have been there in good numbers on the marks and the cold spring up till now should help to hold the skate in the deep water for a good while yet. Even the general fishing in Loch Etive has been reasonable considering it's still quit early on. A days fishing currently producing around six species.

    This year see's us with a new toy on the boat in the shape of a state of the art echo sounder. This new unit is capable of down imaging, side scan sonar and taditional sounder with CHIRP. I'm still getting the hang of this new peice of kit as there are so many different modes of operation, but all in all it seems to gives a very clear picture of what's happening below the boat. Will it help us catch more fish ? I'll make no promises about that ! We will wait and see, time will tell.

    I would also like to say a big thank you to all customers who have been out with us in the past and also those who have booked but are still yet to come out on Blue Fin. Judging by the feedback I get I must be doing something right !

    Tight lines to all.
