Report:
Headed out for a bit of fresh air for an hour this evening. Tried spiddal nothing much to report had 3 casts 2 rods out 1 with a 3 hook flapper and the other with a pulley rig, 3hook out far pulley close to shore to right of pier . Caught nothing on either rods till the last cast wasnt sure if it was wind or a bite so left it there for a while brought it in and it had a huge rockling on it (43/44cm) measured it and put it back .
Was just wondering how to know which kind of rockling was it it had 2 big horns on his head and a beard like a cod was just wondering if anyone could help :) thanks
