Hi. I’m trying to get some photos of smaller UK shark species (I’m a photographer, but not an angler or diver!) and was after some advice. I want to visit the Scottish west coast in August (bank holiday weekend) to see people catching some on rod & line and have identified the Oban/ Loch Etive area or Skye/ Mallaig as likely spots. I’m mainly after blackmouth dogfish and spur dog, though others would be of interest, particularly rays and tope.
My main questions are am I best going out on a boat or hanging out with some shore anglers? If the latter I guess there would need to be a reasonable regular number of anglers at one spot to give me a good chance – is anywhere that popular and are certain tidal conditions needed? Also, which of these two areas mentioned are likely to be the best?
Thanks for your help!
