Popular Post JDP Posted November 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2022 After seeing so many enviable reports of quality dogfish, today was our turn. After several hours sat at anchor with a steady burley trail going, we noticed a steady bite starting to play out on the heavy rod. Our hopes and excitement were almost too hard to control, when we realised the fish was hooked and the fight began. We couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw what looked like a dogfish. I felt so nervous I wasn’t sure whether to reach for the net, gaff or risk dragging it over the side by its tail. I decided to risk it all and grab for the tail, which to our surprise paid off. My first thought was Andy, knowing how proud he would be that I’ve finally reached a new level of angling so far from home shores. Could it get any better? Hell yes! Three eels on micro jigs. The fish Gods were watching over us as I even managed to hook a testicle from some sort of deep sea creature. Maybe JonC could identify what species the testicle is from, knowing how good he is in this area. A day I will remember.

Andy135 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Excellent result and an excellent write up! Well done @JDP. Plenty of pics too so that should help @JonC to follow the story. And as for the mermaid's bollock, well that has to be a new record. 👍 JDP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
