just jack 998 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 after seeing a few pics on another thread, it took me back when i used to go visit some family up in Scotland in the school holidays, what sticks in my mind is my uncle and his brother in law were always talking about fishing and the size of them! but i can also remember him saying about poaching salmon which in my later years i gathered he poached anyway, but thing what got me he said he used some kind of dynomite dropped from a boat to stun the fish first then mopped them up later, i've not seen him in a good few years now, but i'd like to know if anyone has heard of this method i am going back 30 yrs plus Quote Link to post
