Hi I'm brand new to the site. I've been beach casting before of the east coast. I have the chance of going to Skye and have just bought some feathers for spinning. I will have to use a 13' vintage Shakespeare rod on this occasion. Any tips??? |

Using a 13ft beach caster for spinning will be not an easy task. If you have to use that rod then the only advantage would be distance in my eye's. Otherwise prepare for some arm aching  |

I haven't been to Skye since I re-started fishing, but Neist Point is reckoned to be good for Pollack although some of the rocks are a bit iffy  and it's a bit of a trek from the carpark. I was also talking to a guy who had been fishing off the rocks next to Lower Milovaig jetty and had caught quite a few. I asked him what they were but he didn't know as he wasn't a regular sea-angler? I suspect they were Mackerel.
If you take the little road to Staffin slipway and follow it to the end, there are some rocks just beyond the slipway/jetty where you can (could) get pollack and wrasse.
Where about on Skye will you be? I'd be interested to hear of any decent marks you find for the next time I'm in the area.
