roe-buck 63 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Well I see a Welshman has broken the Common Skate record off Oban Highlands.David Griffiths boated the 235 pound monster from 500ft of water.The 7ftx6ft fish was caught by the publisher from Sarn Powys after a 90 minute battle.As he refused to kill it and weigh it ashore it doesn't count but well done to him!

air gun ant 1,666 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Fair play to the lad for releasing the fish! Would love to have a do at skate fishing, does anyone know any good skippers and what the rates are roughly for 4-6 anglers? Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Saw that on another forum, cracking fish! Keep meaning to get up to the father in laws place in Oban and have a bash myself.. One day perhaps.. Quote Link to post
roe-buck 63 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Well David has gone to the Scottish waters and that is the place for these giants of the deep!Nice to see something in the sea thriving rather than being decimated by over fishing! 1 Quote Link to post
