Hi Folks

I'm looking for some new marks to fish in the Oban area. I've fished Loch Etive, but only from a boat.

Anyone know good conger marks in the area. I've heard about the quarry up there but don't know either how to get there or whether it would be a good conger mark.

Any suggestions appericated.

eel hunter i think the way to the quarry is over the connel bridge if your coming from the loch lomand side then there is a wee road to your right and u follow that till you come to a dead end but i fished there once and blanked after being there for 18hrs could not comment on conger tho i hope i got this right

Ive fished the quarry a lot and have always used fish baits and squid..
Last tme i was up there i did well using herring for the roker but i think macky is prob your best allround bait.
If you drive through the qaurry there is a large bay on your right this is were ive caught most.
I have fished further up that road but its very scary at night

and ive never done aswell although thats were the locals fish.

hi ramcheck just by the fish farms is ok, the gate at the end of the quarry is mostly locked, so u have to walk through.as gullyworm said mackies is ok.Im just getting ready to go down to gourock.I think its better than greenock just now.

gullyworm is the fishing better at this time of year

I m afraid i dont know,the last time i fished it was feb and march which are pretty slow months.
I would have thought its better at this time of year though,ive done well in other lochs this time of year.
Good luck
