On the evening of 27 January 1974, a severe storm caused the Sugar boat to partially sink off Greenock . This week we decided to kayak across the Clyde and check what's left .
Enjoy the video .

We started from the esplanade at Greenock , headed towards the wreck , fished , then paddle back , fished again tied on a buoy then finished off at Clyde port and those massive crane .

Such an interesting find but really snaggy .

Had to dropshot for anything , lure fishing there is near impossible .
First fish of the year , a colley and then a mini scorpion . Short spined or long spined , you decide .

Great shelter .

Then we paddled back .

More drop shot action tied on in 50 ft of water .
Couple of dab there (i think) and species nb 3 .

Finishing off under the big massive crane . No takers on the lure unfortunately .

Fairly enjoyable paddle and a great rusted find .

Enjoy , tight line 2019 .Nico

Good video. Does that wreck hold any conger s on it? Wander whether anybody has tried fishing for them?

Great report and pics! always wondered what its like out there! always thought it would be great for flounder over the sand but i guess not? cheers

I imagine there must be some bigger fish under those cranes - plenty of hidey holes by the look of it. Do you ever try big baits when in the kayak?

Yes , only when I am tied on to buoys or anchored big bait would work . I prefer lure fishing though Xflyman .
