- We found an amazing looking spot to lure fish for pollack, but the problem was that it was about 8km to get to it with no footpaths. The wind continued to blow and we couldn't find a safe kayak launch spot for the so we decided to walk it.
I've been lucky enough to fish in some very remote parts of the UK but this one tops the list by a long way!
This is the fourth video of an 8 day trip lure fishing for big pollack on the Outer Hebrides.

That last frame, shot of the day. 👍
Thanks for getting that far JW. It's amazing what you can see from the comfort of your car- eagles, deer, otters and trout. And lots of them!. Tight lines John
I enjoy your videos and I do a lot of this style fishing...totally relate to your 'issue' regarding getting to that mark....it looked really good. One way to get to these spots is to take an abseil rope and light climbing harness. Learning to abseil safely is easy enough. Then figure out a method of ascending a single line. An arborists foot ascender and any progress capture/rope grab will get you back up the rope easily enough. A stout tree is a good place to learn the techniques :) I'm a tree surgeon and have been rock climbing for 20 years - trust me it's worth learning these skills! There is a rock mark on Skye that I've just been to that can only be accessed by abseil...what a days fishing! I live in County Durham and would be happy to meet up and give you some lessons haha :)
Thanks for the comment mate, appreciate the time it must have taken you. As someone who has rock and ice climbed throughout Europe for 20 years+, what your saying makes perfect sense. I've got all of the kit needed, it's just that I can't be bothered to carry it along with the camera kit i carry😂 I've got my eye on a few marks near the MOG that require roped access so you may see some footage shortly. Tight lines👍🎣
@@SlippyLimpets Yep me too, I kinda though you might climb. I prefer to carry a rope/harness instead of cameras :) With a modern skinny static it doesn't weigh much :)
What a place and just wonderfully made video as always , thanks for taking us along on your adventure Nathan
Thank you for coming along with me 👍🎣
Another great vid Nathan. It was very entertaining. I wish i was on the boat with you. 😊 Already looking forward to ur next vid. Superb 🐟🐟 🎣 👍
Thanks Matt, glad you enjoyed it👍🎣
Stunning coastline. Another great video! 👍👍👊🏻
Another great day lads well done ! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks again Jim👍🎣
Top job once again Nathan its great you bring the outdoors to us. Keep safe and videos coming.
Amazing film well done lads and unbelievable scenery 👏👏
Thanks Darren, it is an unbelievable place.
@@SlippyLimpets well done on your sesh butty
What an amazing place to fish shame about the wind lol 😂. Well played with the seal 😊
1-0 to the angler 😂
Hi Nathan.
One of your best videos yet.
Absolutely brilliant.
Loved the views and fishing.
Kind Regards Chris
You guys are half fisherman, half mountaineers ! Respect !
Thanks man!👍🎣
What a fantastic session in those dramatic surroundings, well done in that endurance fishing epic. I had the same experience with a seal at west tarbert, mull of Galloway. Had a Pollock on when something grabbed it, fought it for about 8mins, then it let go. Got the Pollock up with deep scars on it, but never saw what attacked it. Looking forward to yous out in the kayak if conditions allow. Tight lines, Arthur.
Great adventure that was guys , breathtaking location , great session , appreciate your efforts Nathan 👍🏼🎣
Great video again Nathan, and well done on winning the battle with the Seal, not many people can claim they've done that!🤣
Cheers Dave. It's a first for me, I normally just get a head back or snapped off
Stunning location absolutely beautiful, you guys definitely put the effort in and what a scrap with that seal man 👏👏fantastic fishing guys ... Cheers Nathan, Stay safe guys 👍🎣🎣
Haha, it definitely broke my new reel in 😂 Thanks as always Stephen. Tight lines👍🎣
Stunning.
Great video. Especially liked and appreciated the battle with the seal for that Pollack. Keep up the good work.👍
Thanks, will do!
Put the effort in get the rewards, simply brilliant slippy,love love love it 🎣
Thanks Gary, glad you liked it
How you managed to win that fight with the seal on such light tackle is beyond me 👏
It doesn't normally happen like that; I think it's currently 6-1 to the seals
Totally agree, that was an epic battle, poor fish - love it!!
Amazing place Nath. Enjoyed watching your epic battle with that seal bud. Just reminded me of the same experience at the disused old quarry, Berry Head many years ago, when we had to real in as fast as we could to secure our catch before it was snatched away, resulting in a few lures lost. Oh the memories. Thanks again for the great vlog. All the best to you and Louis, and of course his dog.
They're sneaky like that. The seals at a particular mark on the Mull of Galloway have learned not to take the hooked fish, they wait until they're thrown back. Saves on lure loss but makes a mockery of catch and release. Glad you liked it and thanks as always Adz.
Back watching you again Nathan still class vids excellent fishing and a good scrap with the seal and on top of that great scenery and still love the Ariel shots and the backing music look forward to the next one pal tight line’s 🐟🐟🐟🎣
Your films just get better. Love this adventure, I’m exhausted just watching 😅
I thought that it was a wolf fish that had took ur pollock just by the teeth marks. Anyway that was superb fishing. Great stuff 👍
I wish it was, I might have had a chance of getting both of them in. Tight lines👍🎣
Fantastic stuff Nathan - beautiful place and plenty of fish. You totally lucked out with the weather. Stunning.
Good Morning Nathan , another epic video your gear got a workout with that seal , how you bullied that fish back was awesome , so both of you take care & tight lines
Perfect timing nathan 👌,, liked it before watching as I can guarantee its gonna be amazing 😉
Cheers mate, hope it meets your expectations.👍🎣
Nice one lads. That was some bend in your rod Nathan lol can't believe you got the lure.. nevermind the fish lol tight lines 🎣
I could feel the reel seat flexing😂 doubt I could have put any more pressure on than I did, but still, like you said, I was amazed to get the lure and the fish. Just wish I had my 2nd camera running so you could've seen the full extent of the battle. Thanks as always mate and tight lines👍🎣
A stunning part of the world! A lot of effort put in there and pleased you were rewarded. Times you’ll never forget 🎣
You're right Bram, I'm not going to forget this trip any time soon. Tight lines👍🎣
Awesome video and drone footage as usual, it's one of those channels gets a thumbs up before I've even watched it 😂 top stuff mate
Thanks Anthony, really appreciate that 😊
Cracking bit of filming again lads. Some proper yomping there ,every fish well deserved. Seals a pain in the arse everywhere now, have a bit of film of a cod session last winter with one on for about 5 mins, three times just got head and guts back.
Mint timing with the drop Nathen,just sat in the van with a beer after an epic day at st abbs,what a perfect end to my day.That braid screaming in the wind🤘.hope you dodged the ticks,what a superb place.thanks for putting the effort in .tight lines mate👊
You should have said you were coming up, I could have met you there today. Hope you got amongst them mate
@@SlippyLimpets it was abit of an impromptu visit, we were going to head west but everything wasnt aligning so decided to head east,brilliant day with spicy approaches. Off west for the ferry tommorow. Will give you a shout next time I am up mate,be grand to hook up👍
@markevans8643 no worries. Sounds like you're the one living the dream. I'm off to pembrokshire on Thursday for the bass comp then heading to Ireland for 7 days after that. You never know, our paths might cross at some point
Fantastic scenery, with great fishing, enjoyed watching.
Thanks David 😊
Great fight with that Seal🦭, and well won. Not too often us anglers 🎣come up tops with one of those. Well done 👏👏
Cheers mate. Think the aggregate score is 6-1 to the seals- still got a wee way to go to catch up
Well the seal put the lure rod to the test there ,listen to that line sing 😁
I know mate, it looks soft but has plenty of low down grunt. I wish I had the 2nd camera set up so you could see it bending to the butt 😂
@@SlippyLimpets yer had couple of seals while macky bashing ,they know not to eat the head cos of the hook 🎣
Awesome vid Nathan buddy get in!
Cheers lads! Tight lines👍🎣
Top quality video as always Nathan 👌 been loving the island series 🎣 what a cracking scrap with the seal 👍 you ended with a better outcome than i did on skye last week, i just had the head left 🤣
I normally have the same outcome as you, or I get snapped off. This is the first time I've won the scrap 6-1 to the seals. Maybe this is the start of an epic comeback😂. Hope you had a good one on Skye. Tight lines👍🎣
i was there last year with work and managed to launch my kayak a couple of times from arnish point near stornoway , ialso had the chance to take out the work boat out at lochmaddy , had some great sessions.i found the best places wer where the tide was running around a headland or a large rock , i presume the pollock would wait there for any goodies to be washed around to them with the tide . great video 👌
Yep, you're spot on about the tides and rocks, in last week's video I tried to reach the headland on the north side of Lochmaddy for that reason. I couldn't get down though. Glad you liked the vid and thanks for your comment👍🎣
@@SlippyLimpets i fished around the rock in the middle between the north and south headlands at lochmaddy , and the great big rock off the south headland for pollock up to 7 pounds ,the wind hardly ever stopped when i was there so couldn't use the kayak unfortunately , happy hunting pal .
Brilliant session lads well done
Hi nathan you ok pal, what a stunning part of the world. When that seal took ya pollock , holy moly hahaha. All the best from GRIMSBY.
Class edit, as ever 👍
Thank you 🙌
Thats epic! i cant beleive you won that fight with the seal, thats impressive. I had a seal steal a total of 6 mackerel while out the other night. Despite reeling as fast as I could they still managed to get onto them!
A new that was uist be4 a seen the map love it there 😢so sad am not there
It's lush up there, can't wait to go back
I've always wondered what it would be like up there. Nice work!
Well done lads 🎣
Cheers mate👍🎣
Best stuff on rock and lure fishing on the Tube; no doubt! You need a bafta - or a Dafta - or summat, kidda.
Tight lines.
G
Top class boys good adventure yous have had good fishing aswell hard work is well rewarded, funny about that seal it didn't half do a number on that pollack 😂tight lines
Hi Nathan, are you part man part mountain goat, enjoyed the video some nice fish finding your lures, well done
Man 1 seal 0.😂
That Pollack was battle scared bless it
The aggregate score is much more in the seals favour😂
great video nathan 👍👍
Thanks mate, glad you liked it. 👍🎣
Thats gotta be a 1st tug o war with a seal 👏👏
Not my first one, but it's definitely the first one I've won. Normally get snapped off or retrieve a head . Tight lines Kev👍🎣
Unreal video quality 👍 mate can you recommend a site to get soft plastics sliders from please
like harbour at my village fished it since i was kid. it can be a hit or a miss but i still go. i caught my biggest fish a conger eel but i was 7-8 with a hand line catching crabs was my plan
Awesome video!! Your channel looks real cool, can't wait to see some more!!! Just subbed too!👊
Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy the rest of my content.👊👍🎣
So good I watched on the big telly. 👍
Quite embarrassing shouting slippy Limpets into the remote with folk around. Kept getting slippy Olympics which is a totally different thing🤣👍
P. S no trout yet 😜🤔
😂 Yep, YT has a problem with my accent, the auto generated subs always think I'm saying Slippy Olympics. It happens so much I even made a T short design replicating the Olympics logo but with my channel logo instead. Glad you enjoyed
@@SlippyLimpets haha brilliant. 👍
Any chance of another wee tutorial on the FG knot again? And how to check depths, etc? I feel I’m getting into my ‘own habits’ when out and maybe practising my ‘mistakes’… ya dig?
if the wind would drop for you a bit of kayak fishing would turn up some fish, but a good day and enjoyable , and I bet those evening beers never tasted so good, lol
Those beers tasted great, even without a fridge😂 just couldn't sink too many due to keepingthe next days fishing in mind. No way I could do this with a hangover
@@SlippyLimpets if you did, it would make me feel woozy thinking about it lol
<
> Worra cracker lad! It's taken me a month to work out how to do that with the fishes, technophobic old git that I am. Brilliant series Nate' Best out there.
Aye, it's taken me a while to trust it that tech, rather than using a good old fashioned map. Thanks as always John. Tight lines👍🎣
'slap on a dry suit and snorkel with a gro pro a bit, looks so clear the water.
Good idea!
cracking video as usual nathan....finally managed to fish abbs for the first time during the week...you must have calves like steam trains hahah 🥵🥵
Haha, thanks mate. How did you get on? I've found the fishing up there this year to be even more hit-and-miss compared to normal.
@@SlippyLimpets fished that bad step mark...or brown pants as ill call it from now on haha...I didn't get a single take but my pal had a pollock out within 10 mins at about 4lbs then lost an even bigger one a few chucks after on the far right hand side if the mark between those two rocks...yeah I can see it being very hit and miss...try again in a couple weeks
@geordieblanker I see someone stuck some ladders down there... that right side of the mark can be really productive, but as your mate found out, can be a nightmare landing what you do hook into. Tight lines mate.
Great video 😊 what time of year was it ?
You must tie a good FG knot! Great fishing, scenery and even a cuckoo at the end. Have you thought about night fishing for them? Or at least when the light levels are at their lowest? Similar to bass, I have a feeling the better ones prefer it when it’s darker. Might allow you to fish shallower, less precarious marks 🤔.
Thanks again.
wow very nice video💖💖💖💞💞💞
Fantastic fishing & location, was it on North Uist ?
Yeah it was.
Which place is this? Awesome day, place, and landscape. Like to go n fishing there ❤
I’d keep some for the pot
I'm not that keen on the taste of pollack.
New to youtube and your content. I hope my questions can be answered. Do you ever keep and cook what you catch? Do you ever feel scared when looking out to sea? Do you have any opinion on salmon being farmed, do you like corned bef hash, do you like birdlife, do you ever have a dram?
Welcome to the channel! Yes I keep some fish. I never feel scared when looking out to see but do treat it with respect. I don't like salmon farms. Love corned beef hash, birds and a wee Islay. Think that's all them
Do the miles, get the smiles!
What species are they btw, I'm from tropical Australia
I like that, might stick that saying on a t-shirt! The fish are called Pollack/Pillock and probably the hardest fighting saltwater species we have
Great video!
Were up on skye for 4 days in a weeks time, any advice on braid, fluro and lure selection? Please
The fishing on Skye is great. In terms of tackle, I'd recommend as light/narrow diameter that you can get away with, helps with any wind and the strong current. I use 12lb 8 strand tied with an FG knot to 8ft of 20 lb-ish flouro. Lure wise, it depends where you're fishing but soft plastic shads and eels seem to outfish metals. But I always carry some 40g Razor Claw Silver Minnows just incase the wind is howling or the soft plastics aren't working. Hope this helps and you have a mint time. Tight lines👍🎣
@SlippyLimpets very much appreciated, will let you know how we get on 😃
Nice video again Nathan , not seen Lucie for a long time, you guys still an item ?
Unfortunately not🙁
👏👏👍👍
🙌🙌🙌👍👍☺️☺️
First view, first like, first comment. I've never been so early. Hi mom
You did well considering the video hadn't finished uploading🤷♂️
@@SlippyLimpets do I win a free t-shirt?
Eyup Nathan. If you'd put this up as 'I caught a hairy mermaid'. The first person footage of the line screaming, the gnawed fish, a bit of creative editing, add some out of focus shots of Lewis clingfilmed from the waist down and thrashing about in the bath a la 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' with that jumbo lure in his chops. It would have gone huge. You could have retired on that one.
Alreet Dave, Brilliant. Love it. Been years since I've seen FaL but know the exact scene you mean. Lewis and me are away for 10 days at the end of the week- I'll pack the cling film and see if he's up for re-creating that scene😂
Tight lines👍🎣
@@SlippyLimpets Good luck with that - and in the comp. 👍
Have you guys been fishing on Loch Brittle and on that peninsula?
Yep, can be good and is a glorious place to fish
Your videos would be much more enjoyable if you mentioned the place you're fishing and you never mention the species of fish you're catching or show real close-ups of them. It's a bit frustrating and CV I'd like to know how far you're casting or see the lure landing in the water. Just a few ideas to improve on the videos, thanks!
What you using for bait on this video
Mainly a 40g Razor Claw Silver Minnow, too windy for using much else
Another cracker mate use buggers must be fit
Which go pro is that ?
I use a 9 as my chest/head cam and a 10 on the tripod
Lrf is rediculous, if you use a fairly heavy rod like a pier or bass rod then fish are easily landed. Hate the sound of braid when it's being reeled in. Braid is stupid.
👍💜👍💜🎣🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Your son has got a Scottish accent ?? 🤔
He's not my son, he's a friend I fish with
Often wondered what we are meant to do if we hook into a seal. Any thoughts ? Don’t fancy trying to play it and land it. Don’t like the idea of leaving it with lure stuck into it.
It's a dilemma all sea anglers have. IMO, play the fish as hard as possible and the best outcome is either what happened to me in this vid, or the normally the seal bites the body off the fish and you get your lure back with the remaining fish head. You've been really unlucky if you actually hook a seal
Speaking from experience as someone who has hooked a seal on more than one occasion whilst spinning. All 3 times the lure has been on the outside of the face of the seal & it surfaced in front of me and brushed it out of its face with it's flipper, unsure of the damage it done but the seal got the lure off regardless. I generally fish with the barbs crushed on my trebles; for ease of releasing any fish, this almost certainly would have aided the seal in these instances. I imagine if you're fishing feathers however it probably wouldnt have been able to do this.
@@i-Mac85 I crush the barbs for similar reasons. Slightly worse hook-up rate but at least the inedible fish go back with less damage. I also replace trebles with singles.
Once or twice I’ve had a seagull dive for my surface lure and nearly had the experience of sky playing a bird. They are big vicious things and apart from anything else didn’t want to look a pranny in front of on-lookers so was pleased I retrieved the lure out the way in time.
@@dmp2000uk unfortunately I've also had the experience of a seagull kite 😂 absolute nightmare to get the hooks out of them. Also had a guillemots & even cormorants, they're both equally as vicious although they didn't take to the sky which made getting them in a bit easier!
cracking vid mate what lb braid did you have on reel lol !belter that
Thanks mate. That reel was spooled with 12lb Tasline
