Dunure- Dunure is located a few miles outside the town of Ayr on the west coast of Scotland, the area is steeped in history and is a good place to cast a line.
Marks - There are basically three marks you can fish here all are accessible. The first mark is on the right as you come down the hill into Dunure itself, you can see the mark clearly as a long flat rock sticking out. This mark can be fished at any part of the tide as it never gets cut off. The ground fished into is quite rough with sporadic areas of sand throughout, the fish that can be caught are flatties, doggies, red cod, coalies, wrasse and pollack also don't exclude other species turning up. The best baits to use are worms, peeler crab, mussels and fish baits, also you can spin a jelly worm for the cod and pollack. Rigs to use are a case of the simpler the better although a grip lead is needed because there is a small tide run.
The second mark is between the castle and the harbour and can be accessed pretty much most of the time as there is only a small amount of water separates it from the shore, a pair of wellies is all that's needed to get out at high tide. The ground fished into is about 20 yards of kelp followed by a sandy bottom so tackle loss is not a problem. With the bottom being sand flatties are the main species at this mark along with coalies, there are lots of small ones but there are big ones too. Baits to use are the same as above, tackle can be as elaborate as you want no grip is needed just watch out for the boats coming into the harbour.
The third mark is on the far left of the castle and is the largest of the islands and can only be accessed from about 2 hours from high as it gets cut off. This mark is probably the most productive mark as you can hope to catch doggies, flatties, cod, coalies, pollack, gurnard and other species. The ground fished into is about 30 yards of kelp then sand so tackle losses aren't bad, only problem is at very low tides where fish can catch up on the kelp on the way in. When darkness falls you can bag up on coalies as they go into a feeding frenzy, don't know what causes it but you can catch 3 at a time its great fun.
