thanks brian looking forward to my first ray of the year which i hope is not too far away

don't wanna be the one to say this, but that's a doggie in the pic
the second dorsal begins in line with the end of the anal fin, if it was a huss it would overlap, the second dorsal fin would start before where the anal fin ends

You seem to know a lot about anal fins lol last thing I would be looking at in a fish "that gave me a good laugh Steve" lol

ah well, if someone is going to call a doggie a huss, ya have to know the alternative way to identify them if you can't see their snout!!
I wont mention caudal fins, that may just confuse people!!!

Déjà vu

nice flounder there as for the second the smallest ive ever seen one for the fishtank

nice fishing ger . our huss mark dose'nt usually switch on until june over this side of the coast. hopefully we'll do better this year for them than last year. the huss seemed to be about in far less numbers. you did well for the razor on the low tides thow. we could only access our razor beds for 50mins before the tide chased us back to the shore. still got a good 150 over the 2 days . free bait is always the best bait in my book

A nice rocksalmon , well done
