People: Me and Geoff
Duration: 18.00 - 22.30
Tide: HW 22:10
Weather: warm, calm
Bait: Mackerel
Rigs: Hokkais, Feathers, Single Hook booms
Results: pollack, cod, LSD, Lesser Weaver Fish, Mackerel
Report: Another impromptu after work fish because of the lovely weather. Not much fish early on, tried various spots in the harbour to get some mackerel for bait. Went out as well to a cod mark of mine, but to no avail. Saw the dolphins as per usual and a sunfish just at the mouth of the harbour. Got pollack and cod over harbour rock on the drift, found a few mackerel around buoy 6 then anchored up and hauled in a load of dogfish. The weaverfish appeared on some feathers, unfortunately I didn't recognise it, but after identifying it this morning seems I was lucky I didn't prick myself. The mackerel came on towards high tide, and they were breaking the water around us. Great evening to be out.

Well, considering I didn't know what it was :oops: , I couldn't say for sure, but any photos I've seen (this morning) have had yellow tails.

brave man :shock:
you would not see me handling a Weaver like that.
not only do they have a poisonous dorsal fin they also have a spine at the top of each gill cover.
they say the venom is equal to that of an adder.
have seen a couple of hospital cases over the years.

Do they all have that coloration on the tail. First time I noticed it :?:
There are two species of weaver the greater which has only a part of the first dorsal fin coloured black and the lesser which has all the first dorsal fin coloured black.
Either way keep a wide berth of them the best thing to do when you catch one is to cut the snood and use a pliers to return the fish.
If you do get stung by one it's advised to get medical help. Heating the area where he got you with a much heat as you can take will help.
