Shore Rockling or Three Bearded Rockling

#1 Post by gfkelly1969 »

caught this lad on Saturday and to me it looked a bit different to the Three Bearded Rocklings I caught last year,a lucky little fellow,some thing had a hold of him on the way in,a conger I think also looks like he was caught in a net for awhile,he survived to swim away
