    Who needs Tropical fish?

    Reply |Contact

     Just got a couple of pics from my Dad - he's out fishing and sent them via his phone:

    Nice Colourful Wrasse:

    and a nice shark - well it's a dog fish (they're a smaller/the smallest member of the Huss family I think?)!

    Good size as well that - about 2 foot which is fully grown.

    and the frustrating thing is............ he put them both back as he's caught enough this week!!!!!!

    He only keeps what he can eat and he's not that keen on Dogfish, my brother loves 'em though.

    It's a male Ballan Wrasse apparently (according to the man that caught it!).2funny

     Spoke to me Dad today James,

    He's still trying the flyfishing mate - in fact he's so keen that he's just ordered a £150 rod and reel especially for it - thats about his 15th rod (i don't know what he does with em all - you can only use a couple at a time)!!!

    However, he did say that he aint caught a bass with it yet! They keep following about 6" behind the fly without actually biting - he'll keep trying though.
