Good vid mate I've been foraging before on the coast not really knowing what I'm doing but this was very informative and gave me more confidence going forward , the mussels looked amazing so much better than what I get from the supermarket ,you were asking about ideas for future content , well the foraging is very much what I like to learn about I'm a keen wildcamper/ hiker and being able to feed myself from my surroundings is great and adds another dimension to it so bring it on cheers really good stuff .
Brilliant video mate, very informative. I have only done a tiny bit of foraging and found this very inspiring. lovely fish too a shame it had to go back. Looking forward to more content coming. ATB Gus
Enjoyed your video. Uncle introduced met to Loch Fyne, Pollack, Mackerel and Mussels on holidays years ago. Too long since ive been back. Informative and interesting, thanks.
Lol attempted to but never noticed how badly damaged the fish was so it went belly up. I have no problem keeping them and do so often so would have said but my intention was to return this one
@@discovering_scotland Yeah, I got them from the beach in Uist on the Outer Hebrides, when I was studying there at the University of the Highlands and Islands. Even Razor Clams, near Lochmaddy on Clachan Sands. Planning to go to Scotland in October.
Word if warning for Fyne muscles. As was mentioned in the vid they contain lots of grit here. You can get them to spit it out by adding a decent bit of vinegar. The stronger the vinegar type the less you need. Leave them in the pan with water/vinegar mix for at least a half hour before cooking in the same water vinegar mix. They will spit the grit out and the vinegar will just steam off basically without affecting taste. I like them with vinegar so I just dump full bottles of the chippy vinegar in the mix and that does the trick nicely. No need for expensive vinegars it's soley to do a job so cheap stuff just use more of it.
thank you very much, glad it got you out gibing it a go, the ones i get often have some pearls in them too, if you are able to get them from piers etc at low tide they tend to have less of these
Looks great but where is your nephew you should have had him in your video to share the experience and your lucky having no midges anytime we have fished there you’d be nearly sitting in the fire to try and keep them away or a net over your head and face but great to get away from the city.👍🎣🥃🏴
He's young so I don't want him on the camera when he doesn't want to, he's usually too busy off fishing anyway 😂. I've never had terrible issues there with midges in the 30 years I've been visiting, generally a wee wind coming down the glen keeps them moving just enough
Thanks mate hopefully more videos like it to come, yeah I've purged them before but it's more wee pearls I meant than grit, always purge my clams though
@@FISH-OHOLIC you can get the grit out them in half an hour with a bottle of chippy vinegar I can promise you. I've been going to Fyne since the 80s it's notoriously lovely tasting muscles but notoriously gritty. These things swallow what feels like road grit no joke. I use various methods to purge the grit but the quickest and easiest is pour a bottle of cheap vinegar in the water and leave for a half hour then cook, when the clams open the grit falls out first. Works amazing I've never tasted grit once in about 15yr since I started doing it this way as I'm cooking them up on a 16ft Mayland fisher boat obviously restricted space on a small boat so it's convenience cooking but I can get them tasting just as amazing as I can if I take a bag back home. I must have spent 7 or 8yr strictly learning to live off my catch and off the land on fishing trips and only started taking food aboard again when I started dating my current missus in 2007. I'm an ex-paratrooper i like to do it Ray Mears style I even learned to build boats im not joking its what I do now for a living😂
Yes was at inveraray and went into the shop some English man telling punters how to catch salmon i send how long you been here he said one yrs usual they know how to catch and do everything. 😡🏴🏴🏴
Yeah mate the muscles at Fyne always have grit In them. You can get them to spit it out if you didn't know. Any type vinegar even the small chippy bottle type pour a half bottle in the water and let them lay there for half hour before cooking in the same water/vinegar mix. They spit it all out then and the vinegar doesn't affect the taste at all. The stronger the vinegar type the less you need to use but as a general rule put enough in that you know its going to slightly change the water PH and probably taste of vinegar. Soon as the clams open youl notice the grit flow out.
To be fair I don't really get grit in the mussels, just the odd pearl but even at that it's not that often that it puts me off, I always make sure I leave my Cockles n clams to soak though as they are always full of sand
I had a go at the mega mussels a few years ago, big spring tides reveal them as big as a fist, my head was very much up for them......sadly my stomach had a very different view and was having none of it.
Hi, thank you for the kind words. Yes at that time of the year still some stragglers of mackerel hanging about and the sea trout fishing starts to improve again. Foraging is pretty consistent year round and once into September the quality improves
Thank you! There are lots of small sea trout that are fun but nothing massive. There are as many dogfish as you would wish to catch, thornback rays, during summer lots of mackerel and depending on the location there is some Pollock. If on a boat some guys have had cod, gurnard and ling but overall I wouldn't say the fishing is amazing if it's decent sized fish you are after
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm up that way end of July. I know it's said that we should only eat in months with R as over summer etc they're spawning and also possibly feeding on poisonous algae etc but have you ever eating during Summer or had any issues?
@@Adam_Outdoors nothing already filmed but I am going out after some sea trout and mackerel this weekend and may make a video of catching and cooking them. I have 2 other videos to edit but these are stays at a hotel and log cabin
Hey matey it’s great to get out on the wild side even just for a short stint eh, I’ve fished on this loch for mackerel from the little pier, the last time I was there the pier was in a very bad state, in fact it was dangerous, many boards missing and the handrail was gone ? Could you tell me if it’s still like that, or maybe been repaired ? Many Thanks bud..
Hi, is it the pier at Inveraray? If so it's been closed for a number of years due to disrepair. The local community are in the process of raising funds to try and buy it. There is an old pier at Arrochar on Loch long that many go to for Mackerel
@@discovering_scotland Thanks for your quick reply and information.. yes It was the one at inveraray I fished from, sad to see it go like that, I hope they get it renovated.. Do you know anything about the cabin rentals near Loch fyne, I’m looking for something for myself and my dog ? I last fished that area about 10yrs ago, I stayed at Dalmally, and fished on logh Awe for the Trout, I was friendly with a farmer who used to let me fish the river for Salmon, I caught some good fish two, oh they were the days…. I will look at the pier on loch long on my next visit, I do like mackerel fishing it’s good fun. Thanks again for your info much appreciated !! 👍
Do you not find that the mussels have grit & sand grains in them which you feel when chewing them? I collected mussels on Loch Fyne recently & had them purging in seawater buckets for a couple of days before eating - but the sand was very offputting. They were delicious but pity about the sand... I also fish the loch & have repeatedly tried for sea trout but zero success. Also getting a wetsuit and planning to snorkel for the scallops; have a wee boat ideal for it; good times this summer...
Do you know it's something lots of people say but I've never really had any terrible experiences, I do encounter at least a pearl or two but not loads of sand and grit. I don't purge the mussels really but I make sure I purge the cockles as they are full of sand. I try to pick smaller mussels as I feel they taste sweeter too and they tend to have less pearls. I fished the loch for years and struggled to catch sea trout even though they would jump all around me, my favourite is a blue and silver lure in 10-12g I love the hasen pilgrim but hard to get in that size and weight, I mostly use 12g super sprats in blue and silver now and they are fantastic. I go free diving on the loch too and have had some success with scallops but mostly at 10m plus at low tide so definitely not just snorkeling so please make sure you know what your doing as it's so easy to suffer shallow water blackout if you don't know how to freedive
@@discovering_scotland I'm based near Otter Ferry and occasionally see a sea trout jump but can't entice them at all. Recently went down to Kilfinan bay which was pristine; shallow sand beach and rocks either end plus a good burn estuary; screamed sea trout to me... tried but nothing doing. Going to return with bombarda setup and sand eel imitations. Also fished further south past Portavadie; loads of fantastic coastline down there. I'll be starting out the freediving at places like Kilfinan and gradually get accustomed to depth. I have found scallops wearing wellies at low tide near Otter Ferry so am hopeful I'll find them within 3m at low tide in such places 👍
@@TonyJackson-cf3er I love otter ferry and funnily enough I've struggled to get any sea trout there too, he bombarda is a great technique for them so hopefully that brings you a bit of luck. I find fishing at low tide to be best for them and I basically try to cast horizontally along where the weed meets the drop off into deeper water and find he trout love this. I only freedived at otter ferry once before but a storm came in and cut the dive short, I got some nice big whelks though and the ground looked perfect for scallops, often people look in areas that are too sandy for them, I find they like a mix between sandy/muddy bottoms
Loved that video mate. Could eat like that all day everyday. I have just booked a lodge on loch fyne. So excited more so now after seeing your video. Please could you or anyone tell me if there is such prizes to be found in the Ballimore area and is there decent shore fishing spots there. Many thanks.
Hi mate thanks for the kind words. There is 100% lots of mussels to be had near where you are staying at low tide. I've not shore fished there much but like the rest of the loch there should be sea trout, Mackie's, dogfish and thornback rays
@@discovering_scotland Hi. We are sadly leaving loch Fyne tomorrow. What a fantastic holiday and we will most certainly be back. The foraging was amazing. I’ve never seen cockles anywhere near as big as these. Oysters were in abundance, mainly escapees from the imported type and some good native ones also. I found an abundance of mussels but everywhere I collected them they were all full of teeth breaking pearls. Any thoughts on this. Is it time of year? The place we stayed wasn’t the best place to fish as it was a shallow area, combined with my poor effort to persevere. I will make more effort next time.
@@Justtesting64 thats great you enjoyed your trip! Brilliant you managed to forage so much stuff, I've got oysters a few times but they are not my cup of tea. In terms of the pearls you just tend to find them more frequently when picking them from shingle/ beach areas I'm afraid although I've never had them too bad maybe a couple here and there in each serving. Where abouts on the Loch where you based?
Yes more dogfish than you will know what to do with in the loch, they become a bit of a pain to be honest when targeting other species, loads of rays too and St Catherine's seems to be popular for people fishing them
Thats the only fish I've ever seen who's Gill covers don't raise & shut and didn't gulp for air when out of water when just caught....plus its eye is bulging out of its socket this is not natural for the trout species at all, whilst alive the eye is streamlined to the head!!!! Basically it was a dead fish..... you had more chance of platting fog than getting that already dead trout to swim.... all I would like to know is how much did the trout cost you from the mongers? Tightlines!!!!!!!
😂😂 not from the fishmongers I'm afraid but you are correct the fish did not go back as I'd wished, I think it was too damaged when removing the treble and it basically went belly up when trying to put back. There are an uncountable amount of sea trout of that size at that location so would be no need to plant dead fish. My intention at the time of filming was to return it and in the rush to unhook and get the camera I wasn't paying much attention to the state of the fish
@@discovering_scotland in fairness thats a very diplomatic answer Sir & good luck going forwards and this time a more sincere tightlines 🐳(couldn't find a lookalike trout) 😅😅
@@christineparker7185 thank you 🙌 I have another video to release soon of more sea trout from that area and I'm sure one of my other videos has me catching some there. They are great fun
@@discovering_scotland yes ive caught them in the Falklands, powerfully strong for there size, they are darker coloured down south i got most from a place called Swan Inlet, happy days... 😀👍
Yes and tell the bright English not to be chopping trees down what they were doing at lochlomond a disgrace camping is going to be stopped because of the mess they leave my pal works at the loch they catch them all the time .
@@discovering_scotlandwe were back on holiday in the 90s over near Colintraive and then down in Nithsdale, we were dumbfounded when we saw what we saw.. A couple of decades before, you'd get charged by police, pure vandalism and littering.
