nice one eric ,I've benn trying to get one for a while now . :cry:

if we get 2 more species we will have all the species that are listed on the Irish specimen fish committees list of specimen fish.......

what are they ? I'm still trying to get 50 species for the year ,i seem to have ground to a halt :lol:

reading through my ifsa diary i can see that no one here has caught a mako shark,tunny,six gilled shark,allis shad,stone bass or thresher shark

Ah wait!......i seem to have got it wrong :oops: :oops: :oops:

there is indeed 66 eligible species for a specimen award but there are quite a few missing in our list. :oops:

we have filled the place of the "missing" fish(so to speak) with non-eligible mini species.

anyway Ronald, just look back through the list there will be a few there that you haven't caught :lol: :lol:

caught on clean sand on we bit a rag size 2 hook

well if silver(freshwater) eel and twaite shad count i dont see why it shouldnt

looks more like a river lamprey than a sea lamprey(going by the colour of it)
them buggers sure can give a nasty bite too :oops: :oops:

why wouldn't TWAITE SHAD count.

They are after all a true salt water fish.

just not caught that often in the sea.
