Off Skate fishing in the morning

My first Skate trip of the year is planned for Monday. It would also be good to get a Black Mouth Dogfish as this would take my Scottish Sea fish species caught for 2011 to 46 which is still some way short of my target of 50 and time is running out. I have not contributed anything for October so far and will need to score on both to close the gap. This will leave me with Red Gurnard, Vipi Blenny and my nemesis the elusive 5 beard or 3 bearded Rockling and possibly an officially verified Golden Grey Mullet. Still doable but time is running away.....
