Luce Bay has a large variety
of fish, including flat fish such as Dabs, Plaice and
Flounders, most Rays, Spurdog, Mackerel, Pollock, Whiting,
L.S.D’s etc. Quite a number of Scottish records are
held or have been held in Luce Bay.
 During
the summer months Tope and Porbeagle shark visit us,
the Scares being a popular mark, and local skippers
are only too happy to take groups of fishermen in search
of the big fish. There are launching facilities for
fishermen with their own boat, at Sandhead and Drummore
at High Water Slips only, but be advised that
Luce Bay is used as a weapons testing area and live
bombing is not unusual at the northern part of the bay.
Care must be taken at all
times in Luce Bay because of the nature of the tides
and currents, the Mull of Galloway should be avoided
as seven tides are reputed to meet there, and only the
most experienced skippers venture there.

Port Logan Bay is situated
on the western side of the South Rhins and is part of
the Irish Channel where there are strong currents
and extremely deep water.
Precautions should be taken with regard to safety
equipment such as lifejackets, flares, spare engine
and plenty of anchor rope. Port Logan has its own slipway,
and the fish species here are Pollack, Cod, Coalfish,
Rays, Tope, Conger etc.
In the months of May and
June, Herring can be caught in the evenings by jigging
with feathers or similar lures on the edge of the bay.
There are also some wrecks in the area which can produce
some good Pollack, Ling and Conger etc.
