Angling - What fish?
Accessibility to the Islands, and to the fishing on them, is key to enjoying the piscatorial delights of these Islands. Where else can you fish a total of 60 or so miles of coastline without ever having to drive, cycle, or walk more than a couple of miles? Where else could you find such a wide variety of marks in such a small area, ranging from deep tidal races to shallow sandy bays, rocky outcrops made for spinning to quiet coves full of wrasse and mullet, steep craggy cliffs ideal for conger to acres of weed filled gullies beloved of bass? Pick one- or try to fish all of these in the same day!
The variety of different marks allows many methods to be used, often at the same time. The huge tidal range encourages a mobile approach to angling, frequently resulting in the use of relatively light tackle.
What price would you put on a mixed bag of pollack, garfish, mackerel, and grey mullet taken on float or spinner, with a smattering of wrasse, bass, bream, and red mullet on the bottom, just to add a little interest between bites? - That's just the daytime catch of course. As night falls you might reasonably expect to add pout, dogfish, scad and even squid to the mix, with the possibility of a conger or sole to keep up your concentration!
