I\'m all for the attitude of \"Lets try something different\".I think I posted in the boat section that a friend and myself tried tope fishing from his boat off H/pool.We never got a knock,probably because it was very late in the season and we really did\'nt have enough fresh bait.I think all the species you can catch \"down south\" can be caught up here,but,as you say,we don\'t fish specifically for them.From the shore,it\'s cod in the winter,from the boat it\'s cod or ling.People catch wrasse and doggies and other species,but because it\'s not cod or ling,it tends to be pushed to the background.
The water up here is becoming cleaner every year and I think that attracts the more \"exotic\" species.Also in possibly 5 years the whole attitude to fishing might have altered on the NE coast.We live in hope.
