MM Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 went to stay in scotland with vicky and her clan for a few days on wed, but only got back today. rented a log cabin in Blairgowrie, really nice place. went to arbroath to see where she grew up and i met up with her friends husband who is also a jock, but better still, he fishes. we wondered down to have a look at the boats in the harbour, and they are doing 6 hour trips for £20 :shock: . as we didnt bring any gear, (told not to), we asked the skipper, and he rents all the kit for £4. this was too good to be true. so we were booked on the boat at 8am on sunday morning............. so................ here we go. its a nice place. me mate les. a great trip. well, what can i say. a great place, just a shame i couldnt take my own kit, but itll be different next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piebob Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I was out from Arbroath yesterday too. Looks like you caught some bigger ones than we did by the look of the photos. We set off at 2pm and I thought it was pretty choppy by that time. Thankfully it doesn't bother me but a couple of the others had a bad time. £15 each between 10 of us but it was a private hire and the skipper doesn't hire out kit. I had no idea that the cost seems to be relatively cheap compared to down south. A guy I work with arranges it all, and the skipper is normally booked well ahead, but if anyone wants details PM me. I just want to know how you managed to survive Blairgowrie without getting glassed - or do the Glaswegians not go there to pick berries any more?

Come on the Buckfast i was told that blairgowrie was a bit rough, but never met such nice people. know what you mean by the berries though, they are everywhere by the river and i meant to get some buckfast to bring back, but forgot. ill just have to drink drain cleaner instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
