i was not sure what the fish was, there was a lad talking to us on the the pier that identified it as a spurdog, checked it out later on the net and compared it to pics, it seems it was a small spurdog, it was like a small tope with spines on the back of it

nothing would surprise me man. we had 6 bass in one session off a co antrim beach in december and the temp was -5 with the sand frozen under our feet 
. even had a ballan wrasse in december in co down and a mackerel from the shore from the same spot in january 
. you just never know whats gonna turn up where in the sea. one of the great appeals of sea fishing
