It's just plain wrong!

[Elmerfudd 5]

Me and a couple of mates spent this evening fishing off of "fly cellars" in Newquay. To add a bit of variety I took a couple of collapsable crab pots to throw in. All I had to show for 4 hrs of cold, windy dilligence was 1 crab caught on the line, even hooked in the mouth! When I pulled in my pots I had 5 rockling. Whats that all about?

 

My mate caught a 1lb 6oz rockling tho' and is sure he's beaten the club record.

 

Roll on summer!

Whats a rockling?

 

It's actually a 3 bearded rockling. Usually very small and found around the rocks. Ugly looking critter!

Blimey, havent fished Fly cellars for years, 7 to be exact. Some reasonable fishing to be had up at mother ivy,s at this time of year, but you got to fight your way through the doggies.
