Ferg

the copper coast,

[cortaz]

nice fish barry, black-backs. "ROCKIES"
big colour diff. to the ones cought over sand,

[Eoghan]

I wonder if they can change colour quickly from sandy coloured to the dark rocky types in the pics above. My guess is yes. My biggest bass had a dark back and in fact when it surfaced first I thought it was a small conger.

Barry,

Absolute crackers!

This gives one great inspiration & perseverance to plug away in the belief that bass of the same caliber maybe at the end of the next cast!

Well done!

i wonder are the silver ones are from the med like the bream ,theres a pic of a tropical poisonous puffer fish in the local paper it was found on tramore beach. it states that 50 ppl. are killed in japan its lethall if not prepared properly
the dep. of the marine Inspector has issued a poison alert and has asked ppl. not to handle the species

What is it called? What does it look like? Don't want to get caught out

[cortaz]

It was probably an atlantic puffer fish, which is related to the variety eaten in Japan
