I fish the rocks quite alot catching dogfish to about 3lb,small wrass, rockling,conger,pollock and coales. I had my boat out there the previous week, we hit 12 spurdogs, biggest was 6lb. They seemed throw there head about harder than a doggie. The fish was lost about 8 meters out where the rougher ground starts, he couldnt get the fish off the bottom in time. Just guessing the way it showed on the rod.................

Maybee.... Yes we had alot of mackeral, good fat 1lbers. Plagued with whiting biggest being just under 1lb. I was on the drift all day. The mackeral were caught near the salmon nets, couldnt beleive they were still about, it was good to get nice fresh bait.....
