Most common fish you have never caught........

Fri May 23, 2014 9:45 am

I was just thinking about this earlier when I was reading some catch reports and I thought it might be a good topic. I'll kick it off.

Never caught a Ray...!


I used to fish with bait quite a lot until about the last 7 years. Never really targeted them and never blasted baits out far for one but still would have expected the odd one when fishing with sandeel for bass etc.
