Wrasse

Fished up at beadnell in the whitley bay open today and managed a wrasse for 2lb 3oz also lost a good fish on my 1st cast which hung me up in the kelp all in all a canny day out in glorious sunshine up until the end of the competition when the heavens opened.

Forgot about this one off weeks ago,
Coalie

[pierro]

Two more for the species Hunt: Coalie & Whiting.

Went down the Glass Centre on the Wear last night for a couple of hrs:
No one doing much. Got a Coalie and several miniture whiting - smallest
I've ever seen.- Now I know why people sometimes zoom the camera
into the fish or hold the fish at arms length towards the camera.
Who says size doesn't matter!!! well it's still a species aint it. Cheers bud.

one more for me,
sea scorpion,
think its a short spined?

[Thunderpants]

Based on it's small size I would think probably a long spined scorpion as that is a smaller fish than the short spined. They are quite difficult to tell apart but you can identify them by looking underneath at the gills. Have a look here and let me know what you think Long Spined & Short Spined Sea Scorpion


Tinman/Pierro your fish have been added.

Flounder

A flounder for me last night from seaburn prom also managed a small codling from marsden rock edges before we moved along to seaburn where we caught whity's and the small flounder showed tinman how to catch fish.
