People: Me and my Bro

Duration:2000 - 0200

Tide:0030

Weather:Moderate southerly at our backs

Bait:Rag/Mack/Herring/Squid

Rigs:Pulley, pennell, 3 boom scratching and 1 float rig

Results:10 doggies 2 codling and 1 lobster

My brother and I headed up to Glenarm last night for a few hours. The conditions were good and the sea was quite calm. We cast our first baits at around 2000.

On his first cast, my bro landed a very tasty lobster - unfortunately it lost one of its claws on the way in - less to eat for him :lol:

My first cast landed a nige big doggie and I continued like this for most of the night - I ended up with 8 doggies and 2 small codling. The biggest doggie came at around midnight - see link for pics. I was thinking that it might have been a bull huss due to its large size and width across the head - anyone know how to tell the difference?

I've stated before on this site that the doggies at this mark always seem to fight a lot harder than at other marks - the same was true last night again.

sorry for the link to another site but I can't work out how to post pics on this site - http://www.worldseafishing.com/forums/s ... hp?t=10322
For those that have not tried this mark, it is well worth a go

Tight lines.

I got a look at the picture of the"huss" and it looks like a lesser spotted dog to me.
CFB have a booklet on the identification of fish caught in Irish waters it may help.

It can be found at http://www.cfb.ie/pdf/fishbook.pdf
