I'm assuming you put him in your breast pocket and carried him around for the day.

Well his spines are venomous, so I decided it was best not to.

Caught today after a fierce drought! Happy with that.

What's the sore does anyone know - I presume leeches as they tend to get them during the winter or something else??

Could be a few things.
It looks too big to be lamprey bite as freshwater lamps are quite small.
A stab from a heron, cormorant is a possibility.
Another would be from fish fighting as spawning was very recently and may possibly still be happening in some parts.

won't kill you, but its supposed to be very sore and stays irritated from the vemon. Described like a sore beesting.

Shortly after I reeled in that one, a older guy on the boat reeled in two bigger ones on the one line (2 hooks). They were about 30cm each, a lot fatter so a decent bit of flesh on the sides.

Snapper still alludes me.

Cracking fish id say it was last years stocked fish and swam up from the lake to river. Great fight. Have no scales but I'd put him near 4lb anyway

A fine trout dodderangler well done. Nowhere near 4lbs though Imo, closer to 2 I'd say.

First Dogfish of my Life so was happy to be fair - I pulled another 5 out after this and realised why people hate them - still, another species racked up

dodderangler · 23-04-2015 8:55am

^^ just a tip on dogfish.
Bring it's tail up to hi head and put your hand on either side of his head and tail.
Stops them wrapping around your hand and tearing shiite out of your skin.
Can be messy little ba5tards.

ardinn · 23-04-2015 12:20pm

Ha - thats a still from a video, they are the curliest wrigliest strongest little feckers, I have videos of 3 of them and could not get any of them to sit straight for 1 second to get a decent shot. And I was trying the curl with them - they would take the hand off ya!!

Zzippy · 28-04-2015 11:33pm

Ye must have awful soft hands lads! Never had any bother with doggies... thornies are a different matter...

ardinn · 28-04-2015 11:52pm

Is there much to handling rays? Kinda weary about catching one by accident and it doing a steve irwin on me or are they generally fine to deal with around irish waters?

jack01986 · 29-04-2015 3:56pm

There are some stingrays caught around the country so it is possible. The common ones though wouldn't have a stinger just some thorny spikes you can hold them by the wings well I did when I've caught them. No idea who the lad is but you can hold them like this.
