| Species | |
|
Whiting
|
A steady run of fish all night long, just to prove my point, one fish came in and promptly dropped a fish from its gullet. |
|
Lesser spotted dogfish
|
One "pup", (a small one). |
| Pouting | Quite a nice deep bodied fish, but he went back as I had had a number of pan size whiting in the bag. |
