Mogul
-
Tha da oirleach anns gach mogul anns gach lion ùr. Leis a’ chartadh agus leis cho tric is a bhios iad anns an fhairge tha gach mogul a’ fas na’s cuinge gach season, gus mu dheireadh cha bhith na lin so gu feum ann an iasgach an t-samhraidh. Bidh iad gan cur gu feum anns a’ gheamhradh agus as t-earrach gu glacadh sgadan beag na lochan. Tha cuid de na lochan cho salach le sgeirean is le bóghaichean is nach fhaigh na bàtaichean air ‘druftadh’ annta. Bidh iad mar sin a cur badan lion air acraichean annta aig tuiteam na h-oidhche is gan togail aig tighinn an la.

Roinn a’ chosnaidh

Tha an ‘Gross’ – sin na choisneas am bàta fada an t-séasoin anns a’ bhanca. Aig deireadh an t-séasoin tha an toiseach cosgais a’ bhàta ga phàidheadh – am biadh a dh’ith iad, an gual no an ola, tuarasdal nan daoine dubha – so an draibhear (engineer), a ‘fireman’ is an còcaire, is bhiodh beagan ga thoirt mar thiodhlac don sgiobair. Bha sin a’ fagail an ‘Net’.

Sgadan beag nan lochan

Bhiodh an sgadan so, lan meilg is iuchair a’ dol a steach gu ruigeadh feamainn nan creag do gach loch mara is òb sios corsa sear Leódhais gach geamhradh mu am na bliadhn’ ùire. Bha e mar gum biodh iad a’ cur feum air uisge nan allt ’s nan aibhnichean. An diugh ’se gle bheag den sgadan so a gheibhear anns na lochan so – tha na ‘ring-netters’ ga ghlacadh a muigh anns a’ chuan mus ruig e tir. Cha chreid mi gu bheil iad a’ faighinn na h-uighir dheth ann an Loch Fìn fhein an diugh. ’Se gle bheag de bhàtaichean ‘drift-nets’ a tha ris an iasgach sin an diugh is mar sin ’se gle bheag de chutadh a tha dol air adhairt. Bha uair ’s ge bith de am bàta gu rachadh tu, bochd ’s ga robh iad, thairgte ‘fry’ dhuit. An diugh feumaidh tu do làmh a chur ’na do phocaid.
