Aye no problem if you are not sure just ask. A couple of pics from different angles can sometimes help identification too e.g. one showing the underneath of a sea scorpion or a close up on the head of a rockling etc. Good luck mate.Comment

Good luck with a positive ID from that angle. Given the size I'm guessing Eelpout (Viviparous Blenny) but on the other hand it could be a number of other members of the Blenny family...Originally posted by Aqua-holic View PostCLIP IT AND WHACK ITComment

Very hard to tell from pics, IMO it's got the wrong head shape for an eelpout, they tend to be more slimline.Could be a large common blenny.Originally posted by Aqua-holic View PostComment

Yes definately a fishOriginally posted by Aqua-holic View Post

Not sure now after the second pic - the body looks ok for eelpout but the head not sure. I don't think it's a blenny either the body shape looks wrong. Can't tell if it has any spots very well from the pics but if so it could be a butterfish (see pic below). They can grow to 25cm. How big was it? Could you pick it up ok or was it very slippery?
Butterfish

I agree body is a bit long for a blenny. Butterfish always have the predominant spots along the dorsal along with the deep brown/reddish colour. Am pretty stumped on which one it is.Originally posted by Thunderpants View PostYeah not sure now after the second pic - body looks right for eelpout but head not sure.

I've just spotted the "v" in its dorsal ill go with the original suggestion of eelpoutLast edited by Bassboyo; 07-02-2013, 12:58 PM.Comment

I don't know I'm pretty stumped too.
Eelpout don't have a "v" in the fin ? ......
(from wikipedia Viviparous eelpout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Here is the eelpout I caught in last years species hunt. The head looks bigger.
Aqua- holic it's up to you mate. What do you think it is ?Comment

Looking at your pic I think it's an eelpout. I don't think it was a butterfish because it didn't have the spots like the one in your pic, caught it at middle docks in the Tyne was just over 20cm and a bit slimy.List of South Shields Pier Fishing Marks http://youtu.be/l-R3XPf0S0Q

OK Eelpout it is then. Catching it at Middle Docks sounds right, last year about this time I had three eelpout from Brighams area which is right next door and they usually show up when theres lots of fresh water and floaters in the river. I've only ever heard of butterfish being caught on the pier. Table updated. Well done mate.Comment
