Rockling, the big spots are the telltale signs

I had to unhook the doggie for yer man. He hates the things. Too strong, do they bite? ha ha. Sound fella though. Definitely not the time of year to get many big fish there. I hooked something good but cracked off when it started to fight. 2 and 3 hook flappers the way to go there. No use chuckin out 5/0 pulleys.
