competition discussion and banter

1.5lbs for a topknot is a big fish.. not sure what record/specimen size is :wink:

screeming reels, if you can get a spurdog and a corkwing wrasse you will have caught one of every species on the board, you have 32 of the 34 species listed :shock: :shock:

Hi,
Threw a corkwing back last week!!confused it for a ballen wrasse, will not happen again, spurdogs are sadly lacking around this area, but off to galway bay next week with the SAI comp, and its prime time for them in the bay!!!

Just bring the fenders. :lol: :lol: :lol:

can someone id that small wrasse i caught, possible female rock cook? not sure at all

hard to tell from the photo eric but it looks like a corkwing female ,they show the purple area when spawning .. rock cooks are slimmer bodied generally and a more orange/gold for females . .and not as deep bodied as the corkwing would be .

thought it was corking at first but did seem rather slim for one, possibly just because of the spawning as you said

What can i say, its the only way to catch a tadpole fish !!!!!!
will have to try that method when i am down that way next month!!
well done

and the crew member who was aiding the skipper on the day wouldnt handle it without gloves on..... :D

Does that make him a plonker because he wouldnt wear gloves? He was only being sensible

Aye, that ones for Mister Rayner again.... :D Away ye go Martin, Coords are available for a small fee....

how much!!!! :P :P
willing to pay, i take it from the picture it was getting dark, hummmm
