Rockling?

#1 Post by guinness12 »

Nipped down to Groomsport harbour for a couple of hours yesterday. Tide was on its way in and was using mackerel. Thought it was going to be a blank again but as I was about to leave (4pm) caught what I think was a rockling, sorry no photo. If it was it's my first one and I was wondering are they common enough around this area?
