bably ling ?

#1 Post by syboit »

Caught this from a beach last night, the shape and tail made me think it was a baby ling but not 100%. Strange dent on the top of the fish.

thanks

thanks for the replies, I thought it might have been a rockling, but didnt notice any of the barbules on the head. I suppose the only unusual thing was the dentation on the head of the fish. We had some whiting aswell.

that's a slug! - just about better than blanking... (never would have imagined I'd say this... :wink: )
