help around megrim

#1 Post by kieran »

Hi

Looking for a high quality picture of a megrim, know they are rare but a few have been taken in Donegal, Mayo and Cork. Deep water over mud or soft sand, coloured like dab, the odd yellowish spot or two, shaped like a big sole slip, big mouth like a plaice or a turbot...

Any help appreciated, :D , my own photo is crap...

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...

2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks

PM me your email address, might have what you need...
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!
