Dogfish or Bull huss????

#1 Post by breamers boy »

Absolutely baffled with this one. I have scoured the web and all it does is confuse me.. I thought I'd get all your opinions on here! Caught this chap in the Waterford area over rocky,weedy and sandy ground. He was about 3lb and gave a fair fight. I have been told about the nasal flaps but I cant even remember what his mouth looked like!!

from the attacthment and by the look of those spots it looks like a lesser spooted dogfish. nice one all the same especially at 3 pounds.
