you would be surprised how many greys come of the 44 mark on shields during the summer months ,i had about 6 while fishing for plaice.Now that is a reare and unexpected catch. I've had a few Red Mullet (not actually a member of the Mullet family, more properly known as a Goatfish) out of the Solent when I lived in Portsmouth but even on the south coast they are a very rare catch being a warm water species more commonly seen in the Med.
I had that Turbot on Sunday but mine would have to be this little Grey Gurnard I caught on Seaham North pier a couple of years ago:

Probably a Weaver for me, taken on a tursty old Zen
Watch out if you hook one of these they can sting you !!
Strangest looking would have to be the trusty old Long Spined Sea Scorpion
perfectly harmles as Wee Ver said, but a face only a mother could love lol
harmless when you pick them up like that but they've got some really sharp spines on them, seen a lot of these caught over the years.

A hagfish, horrible slimey funny coloured thing that I had no idea of what it was at the time. Also caught a jelly fish which isn't really strange or unusual lol, it was unusual as it was on a spinner.

years ago aboard the Sonia fishing the lanes of shields pier I hooked into a great fish :question: took me over 35 mins to get it up the skipper said its a skate.
when it broke the surface is was a big old ships carpet full of sand and sea life.
I had to sit down my arms felt like lead I was total nackered :red:
the same trip pulled up a set of 3 bulk head lights complete with cable must have been fishing over the local tip.

The most bizarre thing about that fish was we were talking about Haddock about 2 minutes before you caught it!!!

I saw a bream caught off that outfall around 1993/1994, couldn't tell you what type it was though other than it had us puzzled at first.
Caught a Dragonet in Blyth harbour as a kid, never saw one again (beautiful fish) until I was in my 20's and a few were getting caught off Blyth pier one summer.
Didn't catch it but I do remember a dead Sunfish in Seaton Sluice harbour one time too.

I'd guess Smoothhound, they are moving further north with every passing year and there would probably be more caught if enough anglers got out and tried to catch one...
Summer Bream and Hound fishing is about the only thing I miss from living down south but now I'm home I'd never dream of going back
