People:Myself and Barry Murphy
Duration:About 2 hours
Tide:Last hour of the ebb, first hour of the flood
Weather:14 degrees, broken cloud cover and a stiff NE wind.
Bait:Fresh and frozen mac and sand eel
Rigs:3 hook flappers and conger gear
Results:Mac, Bullhead, Dab, Whiting, Coalfish and Pouting.
Catch and Release::
Report: Headed out for an hour with Barry and we both set up 2 rods each. One for conger and another for everything else.
No luck with the conger but for the first five casts I had a species a cast.
All fish were small but good crack as the rod was always nodding.

Hi seaangler.
Its the proper name for a Long spined scorpion, ( I think)
I will get a pic if you don't know them :?:

hi coaster,
i am familiar with the sea scorpion, but as with many of the mini species out there they seem to have a different name on every pier and beach

Is the bullhead not a freshwater fish? Looks similar to a seascorpion.

It's here on the species guide i think its name changes depending on location?

It's the old confusion with local names. Well, they'll always be seascorpions to me!
