Looks like I'll have to start targeting some new species

though smothies and garfish are rare as hens teeth in the north

,nice fishing screaming reels .

I found 3 Hens Teeth under a Box of Jellyworms in Trap and Tackle no so long ago Ronald...

Hi,
yes they are edible, i dont normally eat these, but as this one was badly gut hooked i kept it to eat, tastes the same as the " rock salmon" sold in uk chippers.
Hi ronald, yes, we do get a few more species down here, but i wish you could move Bangor pier down south, its throwing up some mini species!!! i'am sure there here somewhere, just got to find them!!

you'd be in trouble trying to get the boat onto the same sort of ground we fish on the pier
