East coast fish angling

[Saftergood]

My name is Sarah Aftergood, I'm a student at
Newcastle University and for my MSc degree I'm collecting information on
rare fish along the East coast of England and how fish distributions have
changed over the last 20 years or so. I would like to begin with a list of fish
species that are being caught by sea anglers, especially those that have not
been caught before. It occurred to me that you might have such a list, and if
not you might know who else might have? Any relevant information you
provided would be acknowledged in the report I will write by next summer.
Thank you for your time.'

Hi Sarah

a good start on here would be to send a PM to Charlton. He is fish recorder for the Northern Federation of Sea Angling Societies. The catch reports on here and more so now the shore section will show you what species are caught. Any rare ones get a bit of attention when they pop up.

Good luck.

A smelt springs to mind. Never caught one and rare fish.
