We decided to hit Etive today got there about 1ish not a touch on the bigrods for 2 hours so we decided to do a bit of spinning I was using Shimmer eels Caroline was on the float, it was a Pollack a cast, Caroline managed a cracking red one just over 5lb and a cod at 3lb 4 oz my best Pollack just unger 3lb, Spurs came on just as the sun was setting, we had 19 between us, best was a female at 7lb ( tagged ), the rest males 1lb - 4lb and 2 codling 2lb and 1 just under 3lb overall a really relaxing day apart from Caroling getting spiked from a spur, she got it in the bend of the arm though nothing of it, until I noticed her hoody was covered it blood! pulled the sleeve up it was spurting got her in the vein, had to put a pressure bandage on it thank christ it stopped, thought it was going to spoil the fishing!!!!

That looks sore, I think there's an anticoagulant in the spur because I got a jab once and it bled like crazy. Great report and cracking fish there.

 

[Snatcher]

Great session,report and pictures. Hope that "spur jab" heals quickly. There but for the grace of God go I !!!!! Got my first spurdog last week and misidentified it as a smoothie. I was VERY lucky not to get jabbed. I will be more careful in the future
