    I caught this little guy a week ago while fishing my local lake(I will not say the name!)I caught two but only managed to take a photo of this guy.Sunday I went to the lake again but it was too bright and hot but I got a take by a brownie on the bibio but he jumped up in the air and he was gone.

    I have just started fly fishing and I am addicted.The season so far has been bad for me due to the windy nature of the weather although today is calm but I dunno if it is too warm.

    Thanks,
    MadDog1999

    Nice brownie there. If you are putting the guys back try not to lay them down on the ground like that as it can remove some of the protective slime from them. A bet would be handy or even some damp grass would be better.

  • Registered Users Posts: 660 ✭✭✭popsy09


    Arms are sore and burnt from trying to lift them their skin is like sandpaper

    One shark was over 2m but had no official mat so could have been a specimen

    I'd rather not say on the Internet but if you are around cork pm me I'll tell ya where to go

    Plenty fish about that size there now and a couple of big boys about 4-5 lb but very very hard to get in low water

    lovely sea trout popsy, itching to get out after them but have a new little nipper and fishing has taken a backseat !

    Anyone have any idea what exactly this is? People have been calling it a scorpionfish a lot, but looking that up shows that scorpionfish are a family rather than a species of fish. All I can gather is that it's some kind of sculpin. It looks a lot like both kinds of sea scorpion, but it's red as opposed to brown

    I think its a long spined sea scorpion. I remember something about the spines being longer than the diameter of the eye then its a long spined fish. The colour difference could just be due to the ground it was living on.

    Great fish, that yellow one on the angling website is really impressive

    Ate scorpion fish soup on Greece once, after watching the grandfather of the girl who cooked it for us land the fish on a small boat, figures because they don't have much meat so better suited to a soup. Was a similar fish but larger and predominantly red there.
