JonC Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Where do you even start with them things? It’s hard enough getting a decent roker off the floor let alone one of them things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDP Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) How do you get them in the boat and back again without knocking them about to much, or are you keeping them ? Also are you tagging them and if so are you catching others with tags ? would be interesting to gather an idea on how many are in the area and how many are recaptured.

I don’t tag them but I do have repeat captures. Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Welcome Brian, infollow your exploits on Facebook 🙂 we don’t get skate down here in west Wales (or at least no-one thinks we do) but given there is 400ft of water in the Celtic deeps in the no fish area I think it’s worth a try on a small tide and good sea conditions…..

Andy135 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I know literally nothing about targeting skate. What's the typical method for catching them Brian? Rods, rigs, baits, type of ground etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
