finally got a picture to post, not a very good one but since i nearly busted my leg putting it back in the sea i figure he deserve's a posting.

hopefully i'll be able to add a few brown trout before Sept 15th.

btw its a pollock.

This was taken on a Rag about 3am of the peir in Arklow
and i have to say it is a fish that tested my line and gave a good fight.

Caught these 2 at the end of June first time trying Bass fishing ive since got a few more and blanked a few times trying different potential marks

Gonzo08 · 05-08-2009 8:21pm

Caught these two last night on worms.

Caught this beautiful dark 4.75lbs Sea Trout on Lough Currane last wednesday.

Amazing 20 minutes of a drill into backing aswell. I was fishing rather light tackle with a single handed 9 foot #5 weight rod,, Intenseee is all i can say

SeaFields · 14-08-2009 8:30pm

Well done Fevy. That is a suburb trout. :cool: I have been promising myself a day out on Currane all season and haven't gotten round to it yet but soon hopefully.

Slasher · 14-08-2009 11:58pm

Congratulations. I love Currane, just wish it wasn't so far away from Dublin. They're getting some great bags of fish there this year.

Auldloon · 15-08-2009 1:33pm

That's a great trout feyy well done. Nice looking reel, what is it?

Feyy · 15-08-2009 7:02pm

It's a Shimano Biocraft XT, fantastic reel

Doc Farrell · 15-08-2009 9:22pm

thats a beautiful fish. one for the pan?

Feyy · 15-08-2009 11:21pm

Yeah, it was tagged and bagged after. First and last Sea Trout i'm ever bagging though, as this one was a dinner present for my mother who always wanted a big Sea Trout

I'm a big supporter of catch and release otherwise though.

what time of the day, was it a fly? i've spent a good few hours around west cork rivers this summer, any chance you could pm me the river's name. i hope it was the Argideen near timoleague, a river only a very brave or foolish man would try to poach from.

i saw a half dozen sea trout in an estuary on a river in dunmanus bay,next year i'll get my nationwide sea trout licence and try my luck.

Your out of luck the river is way to the west, bait was a worm there's no room to cast a fly, spinners can work in low water conditions.next time your down this way let me know i might be able to show you some spots.

Interesting fish, looking at the pectoral fin looks like it may have started life as a farmed fish. A salmon even?

mp22 · 12-09-2009 11:03am

I must confess that when i caught the fish i was unsure as to the type it was, so i took a close up pic of its tail.imo the wideneck leading to a flatter type tail looks like a trout?I also took a close up of its head both are attached,

J. Ramone · 12-09-2009 11:42am

Shape of the tail is very much more trout like alright. Going on the markings on the gill covers and size of scales I'd still be more inclined to think salmon. I don't remember the exact details but the most reliable features are number of scale rows counted diagonally upwards from the lateral line from the adipose fin area and position of the eye in relation to the mouth. I could dig it out if there aren't any fisheries people here to put it to bed.

If I'm right it could be yet another example of the damaging effect on wild fisheries from current fish farming practices.
