Gilthead

#5 Post by JimC »

Yes Rab looks like a trip down is required!
The gilthead is a recent addition down here (last 4/5 years). I would imagine that the Gulf Stream & global warming would be why they're around the South and not North. They are really starting to show up in numbers around they south coast. Not sure what "season", if any, they may hang around all year. The best fish at present are close to 4lb (French Record is +16lb!). The fight is unreal!
