Species ID Confirmation

Sun Jul 22, 2007 1:28 pm

Was out off the rocks yesterday in Donegal and hooked this little fella on float gear with rag bait.

Can anyone confirm if this is a shanny? Only camera i had was on the phone so not the clearest photo.

Lads, I wouldn't take Alex's word for species ID. Called me yesterday about a "carp" that had been caught by another angler in Lough Corrib, so I head in to have a look, and its a roach-bream hybrid :roll:

And him only back from fishing for carp across the water!! :roll: :lol: :lol:

By the way the water quality is gone over there are you sure it a carp and not a "crap".

In fairness Alex, it no more looked like a carp than you do! :shock:
