Report:arrived at mark and started setting up while i waited for kevin. lovely sunny day small shore surf, sent out a flapper in close and baited up second rod and cast it out when bang left with my supercast shattering below the reel seat , rod back into the bag and set up another rod, kevin arrived with fresh worms and after telling him about my misfortune a small knock on my rod in close, reeled it in and found an angry little prickly fish (sea scorpion i think) if anyone can confirm it would be great, new spieces happy enough, fishing for the rest of the nite was slow enough with rockling and coalies in close but nice to be out. The angry little fish growled and vibrated like a mobile on silent

It's a sea scorpion alright. I think it's a long spined. Can't make it out properly from the photo. Well done on a new species and getting into a few fish anyway. Sorry to hear about the rod. Nothing like a bit of retail therapy to lift the spirits though.

sorry to hear about the rod noting worse when it happens well done on geting a few fish

thats a bummer was it newish?

Thats a beach! ,for me aswell i just bought a supercast the other day .At least you dident blank and had a new specie

Caught a bigger version of this fish in Florida. A guy fishing with me told me they were called "mother-in-law" fish!!!!!!

Rod should be repairable

Yep rod was a bummer but hey it wasnt brand new and maybe a lesson not to buy second hand without knowing the history.was great to cast i,m sure the new ones are better. loved the angry lil scorpion fish there cool growling and all.

Great fishing... that lad looks mad

looks like the fish was chewed before the photo was taken lol
