Malc Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 If in the wrong section apologies. I've noticed an increase in the above on fish first was lice on mackerel a couple of years ago and then lice on codling a month ago and finally what looks like leeches on TBR which I have never seen before. Anyone else seeing this increase or ever seen these parasites before? daio web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I have seen the leech type things on rays before, although not quite as big as the one you show. daio web and Malc 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Same as @Saintly Fish, leech-like suckers on rays, but rare. Malc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Leeches on rays in the Bristol channel are quite common. I normally pull them off and cut the buggers in half. Have also seen Lamprey on rays, keep these for pike baits suzook12 and Saintly Fish 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
