Fishing with Stuart & Dad

Haddock!

Pollack on a string... Henry caught 4 Pollack at a go.

 Stewart of Quoy took us out fishing in his boat July 30th, 2011 the Sea/Ocean was anything but calm that day. My dad has a saying "you never get sea sick if you have a fish on the end of your line". And we had plenty! It was amazing almost non stop fish! and so many different kinds. Dad & I had a blast! While Stewart was laughing at my enthusiasm.

Greater Sandeel

Dad caught a Gunnard

The View of the Isle from Sea is always... Wow!
Kirk Stack, the white on the rocks are nesting Gannets as are most of the birds in the air. Average wingspan 180cm.

My 3 Haddock

Stewart snagged this beautiful Sunstar from the watery depths.
Dad and I have never seen one before. 

We went in for a closer view at the fallen cliff face.
