Oban fishing charters on Gannet with Adrian Lauder

GANNET is fully equipped for sea angling day charters. We fish over the wrecks in the area for pollack and saithe, the usual dogfish and congers. We have had quite a few more unusual fish - wrasse, scorpion fish and so on. In the summer there are usually mackerel about. We use blast frozen mackerel as bait, some of our regulars bring squid with them.

The area is very varied, we fish over wrecks, in some more open water, and over deep rocks and caves. The scenery is magnificent and we enjoy the changing colours throughout the year. Any trip is weather permitting but we can often find sheltered spots to fish in poorer weather.

Beginners and novices are very welcome as the Skipper is on hand with help and advice.

advice on gear for your sea angling charter

CLOTHING

Think about the outdoor conditions - if you get wet there's a good chance you will be cold!

The West Coast weather is very variable and you should plan accordingly for your comfort and safety.

In Autumn, Winter and Spring you'll need fully protective thermal wet weather oilskins, or a flotation suit or similar, over some warm layers.

For Summer fishing, a couple of layers under good lighter weight waterproofs should be fine.

A hat and gloves won't go wrong at any time of the year!

WATERPROOF FOOTWEAR
Most importantly, wear good deck wellies or other soft soled waterproof footwear.

not suitable
-   climbing boots, rigger boots or other hard soled footwear
-   any footwear which is not waterproof!

Sunscreen is also a good idea, as the reflection on the water can be very strong even on overcast days, and you may like to have sunglasses with you.

Remember to bring your camera!
