Because i cant go fishing

[northeast1]

Well since i dont wet many lines Until April, thought i give myself something to read.

Whats the 2 species you have caught from the boat or shore this year that you dont often get ot see many of them?

For me it was a scad and a 8 legged friend

 

[leeskinner007]

had a corkwing wrasse from the shore mate and well a haddock and a hagfish off the boat well pleased with all them not so common

 

[leeskinner007]

also saw one of the lads i was fishing with out of seahouses (john k) bring in a cuckoo wrasse so all in all seen some canny rare fish in these parts this year

Great looking fish them male Dragonets, bright blue etc, i have only ever caught 2 of them 1 male and 1 female both from Shields pier mark 44

 

[kopite2k06]

Great colours on em the blue seems to pulsate through em. Was very weary of it mind as I didnt know whether it was poisonous but it was safely returned pic on my profile album richie not a very good one tho

this year i caught a norwegian haddock or redfish as they are commonly known (Sebastes marinus) from sarah jfk tyne and a north sea haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) from flamer II hartlepool.starting to think they are like busses as i last caught one about ten year ago, this year 2 came along in a few weeks.

 

[leeskinner007]

where did you see this mate i caught two this year on on the sarah jfk and one on guide me the one at seahouses was well hooked thro its beak saved it tho

 

[leeskinner007]

im talking about the seagulls lol

 

[Funkmeister_Smith]

I saw the seagull caught when I was out on the Mistress. I was fishing on one side, fighting off the sea sickness from the huge swells and I heard a load of commotion over the other side of the boat. Here was a massive seagull being wrestled by 3 blokes, all caught up in fishing line! It was huge, like an albatross or something! haha! They got it freed though and it flew away, somewhat huffed I would imagine.

Reminded me of a time a good few years back when I was fishing from North Shields fish quay. I had a crappy telescopic rod baited up, ready to cast just lying on the edge of the wall. I turned my back for a second to wash my hands and when I looked back a bloody seagull (another albatross!), had grabbed the baited hook, carried my crappy rod off and dropped it into the harbour! I couldn't believe it! :red: Luckily that was just my spare 'crab line' rod! haha!

 

[wheres the fish?]

Its gotta be the baby buggy i caught at north shields... Managed to land it too... 25 mins to get it in lol... Was gutted when i found out what it was! Thought it was a plastic bag fish full of water
