Lure Fishing for Sea Trout in Scotland | Lure Fishing UK

- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- So, we'd caught tons of pollack on this trip to the outer Hebrides and thought that it would be a good idea to try and lure fish for one of the species that the Isle of Uist is famous for.
I've not done any sea trout fishing before and loved the whole experience, the only regret was that it was the last day of our lure fishing trip to the outer Hebrides.

This is a stunning video!
I remember watching Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer in in a similar setting fishing for Sea Trout.
A day you’ll never forget!
I remember that episode, Bram, and it was why I wanted to try for a sea trout. Memories made. Thanks as always and tight lines👍🎣
Mint trip, so glad you were able to share with us armchair anglers.
My pleasure Geoff👍🎣
Good stuff fella a nice change and a nice bar of silver.
Thanks mate, I was all pollack'd out by this point in the trip so thought it would good to mix it up a bit
Aww, fantastic video, lads. The scenery is so idyllic.
Lovely looking fish, too. Second cast as well. Quality! Pete 🏴
Thanks Pete, it's another world up there, can't wait to head back!
Nice sea trout great place and exceptionally good weather for Scotland 😊
Yeah, we were very, very lucky with the weather
It’s the night for leaping fish, the Lockers in Canada and your good self in Scotland, we’re being properly spoilt with some great videos, thanks guys. 👍
That leaping sturgeon was something else! Thanks as always John and tight lines👍🎣
Fabulous video! Great scenery and great fishing. I will definitely put it on my list of places to visit and have a crack at the Sea Trout.
You won't be disappointed, although I can't guarantee that the weather will be this good
Nice fish,great video Gareth, more of this,Ally
Thanks as always Ally, I hope to do a wee bit more of this type of thing.
Good Morning Nathan , yet again another cracking video in a fantastic location plus your drone footage was great , both of you take care & tight lines
'Evening Steve, thank you. Always appreciate your comments. Tight lines👍🎣
Absolutely exquisite sea trout and in broad daylight no less!
What a place, like another planet, and those lugworm beds, amazing, well done😊
It is stunning, I nearly crashed the car when I first saw the beds😄
Brilliant video again Nathan, what a fantastic looking place.
Looking forward to watching this. Looks amazing. Sea trout fishing is hard to beat.
Hope you enjoyed it. I hear there's plenty over your kneck of the woods
@@SlippyLimpets Had a few over here Nath and think I've hooked and lost quite a lot but that just looks stunning there.
Amazing camera work.
Your production standards are first rate.
They seem to be masters at spitting hooks, but at least you've found them. Thanks mate appreciate that 👍
Beauty of a sea trout, look like yous had a good time boys on your fishing adventure. Tight lines
It was both- a mint trout and trip. Thanks for the comment Kev👍🎣
Never chance your luck tidal sea trout fishing guys ,, ive been caught out twice and its scarey, remember these flat estuaries flood quick and local knowledge is priceless, tight lines guys and be safe 👍🎣
Eyup Nathan. There could surely be no finer thing than Sea Trout for your last day. It's been a great series. I'll sithi after! Dave.
Alreet Dave, glad you enjoyed it. Hope you're getting amongst those Welsh fish👍🎣
What a super video! Loved the camera angles on this, especially with the wee dog running back and forth. I often find the best sea trout fishing often correlates with the best scenery and your trip proved no exception. Thanks for all the videos and the effort that goes into making them.
Btw, those sea eagles are huge.
Cheers
Thanks Oli, I only had one camera with me for this, mainly to stay mobile, but meant I had to get a wee bit more creative. That's a good tip, I'll have to keep than in mind when I next go. And yeah those eagles are huge. We were dead excited to see our first couple, chatted to a local woman and she said 'pffft, there's hundreds of the things', haha. Tight lines
Wow! I cannot believe the amazing weather you got in Scotland - I think I arrived just after you left and the drought broke and Noah was on the phone. Great, great set of videos.
Excellent as usual mate and stunning footage👍
Thanks mate! Thanks for watching. I'll be cruising through your troot videos to pick up a few new tips👍🎣
Amazing footage as always. Love seeing the unusual spots you fish mate. Tight lines
Thanks Terry, glad you liked it
Unbelievable sea trout mate. Folks fish for years and never get one as nice as that.
I know mate, how lucky was I. Not the biggest but stunning markings
Years since I have caught a Sea trout. Scotland's Islands have such beautiful scenery, always look forward to going to see family and spending some time Island hopping. The Isle of Mull is one of my favourites, not been to the outer Hebrides yet, must go sometime. Well done on your catches bud. Louis will have one next time, I am sure. All the best and TL's.
Scotland is insane if you know where to go 😉
I've never been the Mull, but I hear it's beutiful and has good fishing. Thanks as always Adz and tight lines👍🎣
Well done even the dog knew you were on.
That dog is fishing through and through
Another great video, had a similar sized sea trout at Budle Bay last week.
I love it up there but never targeted them when I have been. Might have to get my self a migratory rod licence. Glad you liked the vid
Sea Trout wonderful fish, they are te best tasting fish that swims
One of my favourite to ear, but also one of the best looking
superb chaps. finally my kind of fishing
Can't wait to do a bit more, loved every minute of it
Just subbed, love the two vids I`ve seen, so pleased I've something new to binge watch.
I`m in Scotland and predominantly fly fish for wild trout, although enjoy catching sea fish on lures/bait too.
Most memorable time ever, was fly fishing a white shell sand beach on west coast of Harris at 5am, and landing 16 sea trout.
Almost all Sea trout, circa 90 + % are female Brown trout that migrate to sea, with the remainder males.
That's why you will find them pretty much all around UK coast near fresh water inlets where Brown trout live.
From what I understand its believed to be a survival of the species thing, as if a small % of fish are at sea and there is a pollution event in the home water, the genetics will survive and eventually re-establish the population.
Almost all large sea trout are female.
Appreciate the effort you put in to your production, the quality of filming and explanation of tackle and techniques, although I`m now going to have to shell out on a new lure rod 😆😆😅
I`m off to watch and learn more about Lure fishing now.
All the best from Scotland, Slainte 🍻🍻
Welcome to the channel and thanks for taking the time to write your excellent comment. Sainte🍻
Great location and video. I fished in Scotland for the first time in early June around Oban. Didn’t catch a thing but the scenery more than made up for the blanks 👍
Scotland has that effect, if I blank at home I end up being grumpy when I get home, but blank in Scotland and it's been a braw day out. Thanks for your comment!
I was fish for wild brown trout a few weeks ago and I caught 7 browns and 1 bar of silver seatrout it was online small 2lb about but I was pretty happy cuz I haven't caught one in 30 plumbers years. Great show man keep en coming 👏 🙌 💪 👍you need to hook on the scaffolding on the rod eyes cuz they are porcelain and any chip of scratches can cause links to fray or snap, John had it happen once the fish locker last episode.
That, and people putting their reels down on sand are two of my pet hates 😂 Look after your gear and it will look after you 😉
Glad you got into a silver and thanks for the tip on the rings, I do normally do this but guessing I was too excited 😂 Tight lines👍🎣
Nice one Nathan 👍
You did well to land that fish, they're unbelievably good at throwing spoons, I think I'm on 4 landed from 14 hooked this year, probably more, but I get a lot of bass and pollack by catch so only counting the ones I've seen. 👍
Yeah, Lewis found that out after the first one he hooked promptly spat the hooks. Guess luck was on my side for 3 minutes. Thanks Daz and tight lines👍🎣
That wee dug likes the fishing lol
Aye, he's as keen as we are 😄
Hi nathan you ok pal, wow what a stunning part or the world. Them lug beds looked amazing mate. All the best from Grimsby
Nice place to do some fishing. Perfect weather. Not a place to go on a foggy day for sure. Getting caught on an "island" by a rising tide can be quite dangerous. When the tide is rising near us here in Nova Scotia, it comes up about a foot every 10 minutes. On a flat area it covers over at a brisk walking pace so you really have to know where you're going to keep ahead of it.
Thanks for the comment Anthony. We were really lucky with the weather, Scotland isn't often that kind.
My prime species! They absolutely love a teaser fly setup
I'll be giving them another go so good to know about the teaser, thanks!
Great video mate,really interesting to see the sea trout,I know very little about them,stunning location,glad you made it out alive😂.good luck in pembrokeshire 👊
Amazing location for fishing looks almost tropical
I've been reliably informed it's not always like that. We got really lucky with the weather
thanks for sharing, love the videos
My pleasure Denis, and thanks for watching👍🎣
Couldn't help but laugh when he caught one second cast then made the "fish of a thousand casts" comment. Then promptly found out why they're called fish of a thousand casts 😂
. Cracking trout though.
I got the full Sea Trout treatment after getting that first fish. And rightly so.
Nice fish at a stunning location
Great video as usual ,keep it up .
Glad you liked it Robin, and will do!
Great fun that! There are a fair few sea trout on the east coast here especially once the mackerel chase the bait fish in. That looks amazing scenery though (like the rest of your trip!)
Thats insane… the location is sooo different from what we fish in Denmark. Would never find Them in that kind of pools… and the size is larger than most we catch.. envy is at a all time high
With you being a "Lure man" Nathan,I was surprised that you didn't use a 'Bombarda float'
I wasn't prepped for sea trout, else I would have had one and my fly rod. I'll know for next time
Braw see trout there Nathan!! Looks a lovely place to fish. Glad you beat the tide in..just lol Can't wait been booked for work on lewis in 2 weeks, needless to say I've extended the trip a little lol nice one lads, tight lines 🎣
I'm not jealous at all! I can't wait to get back but I'm all out of holiday until February. Hope you have a mint time. Tight lines👍🎣
@@SlippyLimpetsmate on Lewis now and weathers really making it tough. My usual marks are un fishable. Any marks you could share to help a brother out? Email or sumthin? Cluthin here i know but I've got nothing else 😂
@@SlippyLimpets all good i managed to find a mark out the wind....wow they fight boy!!! First time I've had to stop fishing cause in knackered....what a place!!
Mega vid Nath 🏆
great fishing lads
Glad you enjoyed it
Heaval in the background. Unmistakable.!!
Nice to see Century slutting you up Bro - nice rod!
Haha, Aye I was maybe a bit too much on brand
Different but great to watch
I do like to mix it up a wee bit. Glad you liked it👍🎣
Not as much as I enjoyed my recent trip to Norway lol
Now you're talking. I know I should go but always thought it would spoil the fishing on home soil
@@SlippyLimpets I understand , it’s my 10th trip out there I’ve had fish I never dreamed I would catch , worth the experience but it does spoil you
Outstanding....
Thank you 😊
Won't get lug beds like that on an English or Welsh beach with all those casts. Beautiful fish and lovely to watch it being nursed back.
Nope, they're all dug out unfortunately. Sea Trout is one of my favourite fish to eat and did plan on keeping one for tea, but that fish was too nice to keep and deserved to get bigger. Thanks for your comment
Nice going again lads, cracking Trout the first one, they have a bit more about them than Bass the same size. Pity about the Turbot no show,was hoping you would have a session on them with the lures out there. Get them on our coast occasionally but not consistent enough to warrant regular lure sessions. I've had a few on big spoons or toby's with a single on tipped wit mackerel strip but only small.
Aye, we were a bit gutted about the turbot, but had a good laugh watching Lewis bait fishing. Think next time we'll go a little later in the year and focus more on them- they're one of my favourite fish to eat and like you only had mini's locally. Hope you're having a good bass season. Tight lines👍🎣
@@SlippyLimpets Just up the road from St Abbs are some good beaches for bigger Turbot. I reckon a weighted Albie snax will do the trick, the 2lb plus ones seem to like a good bait and all the better ones i've had on bait have been right in close. Bass season a bit meh and fish been acting funny last 2 sessions, had a hit every cast for an hour and a half one night a week or so ago without a single hook up. Eventually they got going and had a fair amount up to maybe 5lb, was pissing down so straight back with them but we have only had a couple of sessions where they have been on it from the get go. Good average size again this year with plenty 4lbers but struggling for any decent ones. Mate reckons Lewis had a 70 last week, cracking fish the way it is again this year.
@@robertgallacher7214 just south too, nearnHoly Island, I've heard of some 5lb+ turbot coming to lures, close in. aye, I 've had the same experience with a lot of tail slapping and not come backs. No schoolies though. Think Lewis got his 70 while we were over in ireland. Lovely fish taken on a pollack coloured mad eel in the pitch black.
@@SlippyLimpets Those beaches look spot on for them, think Warkworth used to chuck them out but it was all long range stuff onto a bar over low. The Fylde coast has been chucking huge ones out to 10lb i heard but it's supposedly stance specific and the netters move in if they see anglers in the same spots regularly. Saw lots of small ones down the big bay last year.
Aye those big topwater hits with no hook ups are a definite feature this year. Thought it was a seal that came up at day break the last trip if it hadn't shown itself, the buggers definitely know the lures from the real thing at times :)
Try the savage gear line though sandeels, haf em to 6lb at base of south shields pier mate
I'm sure I've got a couple of those kicking around. Thanks for the tip👍🎣
I'm a big fan of the channel and been subbed for years. I rarely comment but this outer hebrides series of vids have been amazing. I'm a bass lure angler in the main and that's how I first found your channel. But a friend and I have been discussing a south uist trip for a while. Can I ask what month of the year you were there and what months would you choose (if different)if you were mainly looking to target sea trout with an occasional Pollack trip as a change please?
I just got back from loch Torridon with the SIB, no fish but an amazing time !
the puppy looks as if he enjoyed himself
Aye, he does.
he's been trained well from a pup
Now yar talking man,favourite videos,Trout and seatroot wee bit Scotttish banter
No only loads of lugworm, but with a small had rake you can quickly collect enough cockles for a tasty boil. Have done it several times near the north of Baleshare
Note to self, must pack a rake the next time I head up there. Thanks fot the tip👍
@@SlippyLimpets my typing is pants! A hand rake, small enough to fit in the tackle box
Even better. Cheers mate!
This is the type of fishing I do here in Ireland. To get a trout like that on your 2nd cast is brilliant 👏 they are hard to get on lures
Luck must have been on my side that morning. Love that style of fishing too. Thanks for the comment and tight lines 👍 🎣
@SlippyLimpets there's always a slice of luck needed and a stunning looking trout too.well done lad
did you use your drone to get an ariel view of the way out? nice fighting fish, I wonder if they go to double figures.
I wanted tk stay mobile so I didn't have the drone with me, just took some shots with it when I got back to the car. We chatted to a local guide who said 4-6lb was a specimen for that area, but you never know, they could double digits. Thanks for the comment 👍 🎣
Cracking sea trout..how come yours dont come off ! Brilliant location.
I must have luck on my side that morning. Should have put the lottery on
Lot of worm casts there slippy. Wonder if you'd put a bait on would they have gone for that ?
sick video. can you catch trout in rives on any like 20g lures
Great Video. What kind of wading shoes do you wear?
Wow, stunning location and no cliffs to fall down, so saved me from your usual vertigo inducing videos! 😂 love the drone shots, if you don’t mind me asking what drone do you use?
Haha, I know, I felt a bit out place fishing next to the car with no cliffs around. It's a DJI Air 2 drone, but old now but it still does the job. Tight lines Stephen
Superb stuff, great fishing there, one question if thats ok, how close to when you fish does the video get posted?
It's normally the same week or a week later, depending on my work. This was later because I managed to make 5 videos out of this trip. Hope this answers your question and glad you liked the vid.
Great video what type of other fish could u catch up there ? Bass ? Pollock ? And would it be werth bait fishing up there as I'm trying to plan my next Scotland trip and fancy a change mate
There's an absolute ton of good sized pollack, have a look at a few vids before this one to see what I mean. There's also the odd bass, turbot and if you chuck a bait out then the possibility of spur dogs and the odd tope. Hope this whets the appetite
@@SlippyLimpets thanks mate
What Waterhaul model you use? Some times ago I bought sunglasses from your link but different model, now I would like to buy another one 🙂 Please let me know or link please...and where it is in Scotland? Im going to move there but have no idea whcih part of Scotland will most interesting if you want fishing bass, trouts, salmons etc
They're good glasses aren't they. I'm using the Fitzroy in slate. If you use the link in the description of this video, you'll get a 15% discount added automatically. Scotland has those species all around the coast, this video was on Uist in the outer Hebrides. Hope this helps and tight lines👍🎣
Where would the fishing world be without brown trout!
Where would the fishing world be without Scotland! 😊 🏴🏴🏴
Definitely wouldn't be the same place without them
Cracking fish, great trip. Can i ask where you got your permit from? Ta
I'm not sure, Lewis picked them up while i aas working, but check out South Uist Angling Clubs website, they have all the permit info and where to buy the permits. Also, some great info on where to fish. Hope this helps
Hello from USA
Hello there!
Love that quick sand stuff...that walking ain't for me anymore...skyway pier in tamp a,florida...just stick the pole out the car window
Turns out I didn't need to do much walking at all. I landed that fish right next to the car😂
Great video Nate and four "Get in"s
I can't wait to have a mint session and see how many 'get in's' I can squeeze into one vid. Thanks as always John
just wana watch yourself mate, the seatrout can hook you just as good!! ive spent my life after them
Too late, they already have. I now love fishing for them. Fly rod next time
@@SlippyLimpets good luck mate! they are a most worthy foe indeed
when do the seatrout start running in the clyde?
Nice video. South Uist is a fisherman’s dream. What’s the blue drysack you’re using?
That's a pretty fair assessment of Uist. The pack is a Hydraulic 30 by a company called Sea to Summit. Hooe this helps
God a miss sea trout fishing haven’t had one since moving to Cornwall the creagan bridge used to be my go to spots
I thought they had sea trout in Cornwall?
@@SlippyLimpets they do just haven’t had one yet haha 😂
Tricky dicky fishing round estuaries, gotta keep your wits about you.
Absolutely beautiful place and that sea trout was a very fine specimen.
I'm in Cornwall, off to wet a few lures.
Hope you're finding some fish down there, LV. Thanks as always and tight lines👍🎣
@@SlippyLimpets Just a cpl of mackerel so far but no complaints - flippin beautifol here.
Ould i ask which back pack/ dry bag you have
No worries, it's a Sea to Summit Hydraulic 30. Not cheap but totally bombproof
Is there any sea trout fishing in Barra ?
I've never fished it but given the terrain, I would be surprised if there wasn't
grew up in Oban on the west cost loved fishing for mackerel as a kid 1 n only time I ever caught a sea trout had no idea what it was had to take it home to my dad n ask
I come here as a lover of limpets and all I get is facken fishin!
Only joking! Love your vids mate!
Haha, in a way you get both!
You were very fortunate with the weather, and that first fish was a stunner 👍
Try a bombarda float with a long leader and a sea trout lure - it can help minimise the effects of weed (I tie mine with a small spur of 6lb line to create a 'weedless' hook). With a bit of practice you can easily control the depth the fly/lure works at, even with a slow retrieve.
Another great video - looking forward to the next adventure 👍
Thanks for the info Taran, I'll defo be giving a bombarda a shot the next time I head out hunting troot.
Thanks for the comment and apologies for the late reply. Tight lines👍🎣
Where about cost are u fishing in Scotland
South Uist
Played that first one too long doubt he will have survived .. they don’t recover well especially if it’s on the warm side.
wat is yr rod details pls
It's a Century Graphex Lure, 9'6'', 10-40g casting weight
I think in that situation having a packraft would be ideal so you don't get stranded or wet....
Good idea!
Eaval
Close to it
Nothin comes close to sea trouting,,, at night or when there's a good bit of water coming down the river.. get plenty off Kingston beach ,spey ,using sand eels.. but makes a mess of um so stopped it, besides I'm not a fan of cutlery chukin... at the min the river lune is fishing it head off for um... specialist's job sea trouting.. beats salmon hands down.
I'm yet to catch a salmon so will take your word for it, but I'm gagging to get a sea trout on my fly rod.
@@SlippyLimpets very complicated,,especially at night.much less so during the day time..if you need any info or advice I can short circuit the job a bit.. nothin comes close than hitting a 7,8,9 ect pound sea trout at night.. love me Coddin but sea trout, head and shoulders.
