Tadpoleman, can you give me six numbers for the lottery. I have more chance of getting them before you get your confirmation on that fish.

my mate caught the weirdest fish ive ever seen on the boat we still dont know what it was {it was about 5 inches long it looked like a sand eel but it didnt have any lips it just had massive pin like teeth we told a guy about it and he reckond that it drills a hole through other fish and eats there insides?}

Hi welly was it pink, if so, it was probably a hagfish, and they do latch on to other fish and bore in to them. last year i was fishing the short beach at shields and found a lesser spotted dogfish curled up just like a rock, when i touched it with my boot, it moved, so i put it in the sea ,in a few minutes it swam away cool eh

[BAZZACODBASHA]

One year during the mackerel season, sometime in the late 60\'s there were huge amounts of Horse mackerel (or Scad as they are sometimes known) being caught from Roker pier.
Never seen or heard of one being caught since.
If you do ever catch one; don\'t bother eating it as you won\'t get near the flesh for bones!

 

[STEVO]

Seen one caught two year ago on blyth pier bazza they follow the shoals of mackeral in

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Same as Mark ,a canny scorpion fish from the doctors house area ,and an octopus from The Boys last year.

 

[fozally]

Many moons ago you use to see LUMPSUCKERS getting caught on Marsden beach and the pier but havent seen any for years.

 

[tony.codling]

foz ive never seen one actually get caught but in the summer ive
saw plenty of them in rock pools they even ground themselves.
