That sauce sounds wonderful Jack and I suspect I will try it with chicken. My problem is Im spoiled with fish.. I still get a lot of wild trout and Im very partial to mackerel too ..often landing and frying the fish on shore before riga mortise sets in. They taste so much better that way. Pollack that way are just tasteless mush to my mouth. A friend likes them but he freezes them first and then when they thaw that firms up the flesh..so he tells me ..but Im not fond of cod either and its a favourite for many. Now .. the Oban chippie or Norries chippie.. I could eat their haddock till I burst. I was brought up in the north and staple diet back then was salmon straight from the rivers .. I had that much real Atlantic salmon I would have swapped them for sassages. Changed times now ..its around 15 years since I caught my last salmon ...few left now Thanks for commenting 😀

I think I will try this , like Donny I find the flesh of pollock very mushy . I did eat it it France one time in a restaurant, I didn’t know it was pollack until I had finished it , it was actually very good , if too had been cooked in some kind of sauce.

Thanks john..glad you enjoyed the video..thanks for commenting 😀

Ah yes ..I remember Jackanory . I remember when a neighbour was the first person in our street to get a TV ..all the kids gathered and looked through their window to watch the wooden tops ..all black and white in those days too 😀 Changed days indeed

Bring your waterproofs brian..the weather is still very mixed up here this year..but Im sure you will enjoy Loch Linnhe area ..I was going to go right up into Loch Eil ..passing Corpach on this trip..but cut it short due to heavy rain :-D

Thanks simon ..appreciated 😀

Thanks SIBXCDA ..much appreciated 😀

Thats great to know graham..as I only have a computer monitor to watch them on..including editing them. I often wondered what the look like on those huge TVs 😀

Ah, you were there mid July, a couple of weeks before me

Yup ..as you mentioned later ..it was a week or so before you arrived .. plentypollack in the strech at the narrows..and I sometimes get sea trout there too ..but not this time round :-D

@@donnywilcox I had plenty of Pollock also just past the narrows and one Cod, I also had a few sea trout further along towards kinlochleven

Thanks for the comments and info user-vx5 ..much appreciated and delighted you subscribed . Yup..that Permethrin sounds great. I still have a couple bottles of DEET as I get them from a mate who works in the Forestry industry ..but once they are used I will def try Permethrin 😀

Thanks pr1tch1 delighted you enjoy the videos..music as well ..much appreciated 😀

Thank you EliwarYenarg and Im delighted you enjoyed the drone sounscape 😀 I was just explaining to another commenter that the drone background music is an audio expression of the mood I felt on that journey. I try to re create what I both see and feel on these adventures in my videos by using video and sound in the only way I can. Im not an expert so dont always get it right and I appreciate not everyone sees it that way but its just the way I am.. which is why I really appreciate your thoughts ..thanks again. 😀

Thanks Glyn69..I appreciate you commenting :-D

Thanks again to you david. I am a sucker for Fish n Chips in Oban too so try to avoid the town at supper time as I would over indulge. Its a toss up for me which make the best..the Oban Chip Shop or Norries Chip shop ..its neck and neck for either for my taste buds 😀

Thanks again guspaul..appreciated 😀

Hi tkaald ..I guess the answer is I wouldn't use a pipe on a floating buoy if I worried it would jam. I have used this method regular ever since my previous method..which incidentally ... was a rope through a ring on a floating buoy kept twisting and caused problems. A few friends also moved away from the ring on buoy method as they also had issues of rope twisting and jamming. Some adopted the pipe method while others adopted the bungee warp method. I can only suggest you keep using your method if it works for you.. my thoughts are no method is totally reliable ..so can only suggest whichever way you are more comfortable with. Just be aware there are many ways to skin a cat ..which is why I included the pipe method.. I didn't invent it..it was passed onto my by another person who also had issues with the ring on buoy way. ..Thanks for commenting ..appreciated 😀

Hi alistair ..yup its great when the midges are away and really surprised they were not out in mid July ..its been that cold its more like may weather so perhaps they are still hibernating ? :-D

Hi dougjacksonart ..thanks for your kind word on my video ..they are appreciated. I can understand your thoughts on the drone background sound so let me explain. At one stage in my life, I played in a local pub band (for around 15 years) ..weekend work as it wasn't my main job. One Friday night were played a big wedding function at the Post House hotel outside Glasgow airport. We played Scottish and Irish type music As soon as we started playing, folk started complaining about our set. That didn't help the band play their best so it wasn't a pleasant experience for us or them. The following night we played in the Tyndrum hotel. We did the exact same set as the previous night ..however this time the different audience loved us and didn't want us to leave at the end of the night. Some locals said we were the best live pub band they had heard there. I guess Im trying to say..music is subjective..once you have performed in public for a few years you know you cant please everyone so I just accept that is how it is. I honestly wish I could produce music for the drone shots that everyone enjoyed ..but I cant so you will just have to accept that. I could write and perform a warm upbeat song..as I have tried in other videos..and you may enjoy it but there will be others that don't.. that's music for you... example I cant listen to Edd Sheeran but millions love him. I try to vary the background music in ever video box set. For this video I intentionally did not play music..its just a soundscape made from a sampled helicopter ..sampled wind chime ..a friend chanting my name Donnie.. and some gentle humming sounds. I kept it very low volume so as not to upset anyone. I did intended it to be haunting so glad you confirmed it worked even though I know you didnt like it. I find the islands of Glencoe a very haunting and moving place to be so that drone soundscape came from inside me. Its an audio expression of how I felt that day. I often think I hear a voice from the past calling me to these beautiful remote areas which is why I often use a voice chanting donnie in my drone shots plus the helicopter sample for obvious reasons. I see you are a painter so will hopefully understand about personal style.. would you change because someone didn't like your style ? Would you paint a warm upbeat picture if your intention was to paint a somber mood? I hope you can understand my perspective of it now and I sincerely hope you will stick around and enjoy the parts of the videos you do enjoy. Thanks again for your comments..appreciated 😀

As I like ambient music this was fine for me.

@@donnywilcox Hi Donny. Ahhh I understand. Taking a step back from my comment I agree with your reply on all points. Your video, your music, you voice etc etc. As you say as an artist I do understand and you make a great point about that. The next time I hear it I will think about how you created it. Fabulous 👍 As I said before I'm a huge fan of your videos and always love relaxing with a wee dram and just loving the wonderful footage. Thanks for your reply. All the best. Doug

Yop I still hear that introduction to playschool regularly david..reminds me of days of innocent childhood and I guess Im very lucky as I recall having a very happy childhood..I appreciate some had a far harder time than me back then :-D

Its called the "Anode Trim Tab" if you google that you should find something suitable. It is a small adjustment "tab"to keep the boat running straight due to the torque of the propeller which can slightly turn the boat. Outboard will work fine without it but you do want the anode as it stops the outboard corroding..hope that helps

Same here.
