lezz Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Hi All, just joined up - looking forward to reading the posts and asking for advice. I own a small Shetland 498 currently moored in SW Scotland. Been an angler all my life mainly sea fishing and fly fishing for trout. Owned my boat for 5 years now (since taking early retirement) try to get out for about 6 sessions each month during the season (May to September), I've been targeting Tope for the last couple of years with moderate success and now really looking forward to the better weather hoping to launch again early April to stock up with mackies for bait ready to catch a few more Tope and Hounds. Take Care and tightlines. Andy135, Geoff, Dicky and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Welcome aboard Lezz. Nice to see another trailer boat. Do you drag it about? I assume that most of your Scottish fishing is from your mates boat. Enjoy the forum. Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lezz Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 Hi Geoff - I moor my boat in Scotland also (tried wales a couple of years ago) but the fishing is much better in SW Scotland (IMO) so that's where I'll be all this Summer - chasing the Tope!!

Andy135 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Welcome @lezz. Good to see another trailer boat on here. Must admit I'm strongly considering another trailer boat myself. Tight lines. Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
