CAMRACH

A week since I last wrote, and its been busy as I collect the new boat "CAMRACH", and get it ready for the sea. Tiring work as I had to collect the boat in Middlesborough, and drive it all the way up here - max speed 50mph, and not much fun especially with the two youngest kids in the back constantly saying "Are we there yet ". Journey took a total of 9 hours, but its well worth it.
Son in law John and I launched the boat tonight, and did a few hours sea trials - impressive, and FISHMORVERN will now be taking people out sea fishing, in addition to hopefully some wildlife ( dolphins, sea eagles, whales etc ) trips - just get in touch to book.

On the freshwater front, it has been a fairly quiet week. The River is holding level, but still needs a good foot of water to be at its best - in otherwords, we need a couple of days of concentrated rain, ie the right sort of rain. The Lochs continue to be productive, and Arienas in particular is yielding a fair amount of fish - over 80 this week, some up to 4lb - most returned thankfully. Awaiting news from the parties who went up to the hill lochs, but they will always produce nice fish.

The Morvern Games and Gala Week commences tomorrow, and the whole peninsula has a week of fun with Highland Games tomorrow, Clay pigeon shoots, Bingo nights, Bowls competitions for Adults and Juniors, Shinty matches and lots of Celeidhs at Hotel, Social Club, and in the Marquee up in Knock Park ( site of the proposed Golf Course). In addition and of particular interest to this blog, there is a sea fishing competition next saturday (21 July) which I will be running for the Committee. - Great fun, and lots of prizes for serious and leisure anglers - starts at 0800 so if you are in the area. come along and join in.

Although I want rain - I hope that we get none tomorrow for the games - her indoors is away at a re-union thingy so I will be looking after the kids !!

Will be trying to get out myself this week if I have time - will speak soon with hopefully a pic of the new boat.
