Roker Today

[lambtonworm]

Fish Roker 7am - 2pm today hoping to add to my species list,plenty of small stuff from the off Coalies,Dab,Flounder and small Codling,
finally caught a species to add to my tally by landing a Shore Rockling before landing a first for me at first I thought it was a Tompot
Blennie something I had caught quite a few of on my trips to Wales and a bloody big one at 21cm and 6oz


on returning home to check I found the British Record is only 5oz 8dr,
I was then informed it was not a Tompot but a Yarrell's Blennie by a very
good source and informed the record stands at 3oz 1dr ,anyhow it went back
in to the bay at Roker one way or another there's a British Record in there.

Are you guys targeting these little fish? I never seem to catch any despite fishing the same marks lol. Took me untill this winter to catch my first rockling in about 15yrs!

Im targeting the Mini Species for the N.E.S.A Comp dont be surprised to see a size 18 two hook flapper on the pier
Toonboymc that fish could well be another Yarrells as its too long for a Tompot or so I was informed about mine .
