Re: common skate

Hey, i've had from the shore, Hooked three and landed one, probably about the 150lb weight mark. I was alone and counldn't deal with the fish so never got measurments. Seems to be best in early - mid september when sea temps are at their max. Deepish water with a clean bottom running up to rock and you'll need a vertical drop to play them if they go doggo. I fished Loch Erribol but I belive the top of Skye can be good also.
