No mate just shore caught

looks like a 3 bearded rockling mate, one more species than me, well done.

Scotty91: Fish off a boat count for this and lure challenge ?

Fish off the boat DO NOT count in the species hunt. As for the lure fishing challenge, Im unsure...

lure challenge does count

lure challenge does count

As long as theres no bait on them lures that is, no baited daylites, pirks, Hokkies, etc.

cheers Andy ill agree with you then a 3 bearded rockling it is!

Scotty 91 - as said above, this is a shore fishing challenge so no boats/kayaks etc. It's in the rules on the first post.

Scottyds - 3 bearded rockling it is, you are on the table.

Lads if you could type the species when you post your pics please as it is not always clear.

Cheers.

Ok sound thanx lads

think the 5 bearded is less popular on our shore so i think either shud be classed as just a rockling cos some photo,s ya carnt tell unless its a close up

That would make it easier for me What does everyone else think? I am happy to go with the majority.

 

[Thunderpants]

Two more for me. A flounder and the smallest codling in Shields.

All rocklings can have same colour, its been shown time and time again, I've has 3 bearded AND five bearded rockling that have been completely dark brown with a pale underbelly, they looked almost the same, the only difference was the amount of 'beards' they had...

 

[codseeker]

you wont get a completely brown 3 bearded rockling mate they just dont come that colour,three beardeds are usually much larger and mottled,but no doubt some will argue the toss but i can only try to help theres very few three beards come of the NE coast anyhow but im sure someone would disagree with that as well ....
