I find it odd you call them Scotch Haddock down your way, as up here in Scotchland I have only ever known them as Pouting

Scotch Haddock

Many anglers mistake bleggs or pouting or what we call them bloaters as scotch haddock and i would/nt eat them and yes you find that they do change colouring too.

Biggest one I've caught was from Samphire Hoe in Kent. The biggest in the match was about 3lb I think and they give a bit of a fight on the way in.

I had one 2lb 10oz that day Peter. Was told by the steward it was h/f of the day and specimen only to find out later there was one of 1 or 2oz heavier. Had 3 over 2lb that day 13 fish in all.

Aye, remember that day, there were a few got a bit of a soaking at the Folkestone end.

I was on peg 169 and it was coming over every now and again. I just used Greg Freight to shield me from the wind and spray. The amount of times I heard "Ow fa**in hell not again!" coming from my left was unreal.
