Nice one thompo ,you dont get to many rays from the shore in the north so you should get extra points for that one !
If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.

does look like a long spined ,short spined dont tend to be as bright and the spines are more like stumps .

I'm surprised that nobody has a blue shark yet. They are being caught down here.

No need to thank me, I mentioned it to JD after Goldsy asked me how he could show some appreaciation to the site members for the loyal following they give him (he reads the site regular) and for the welcome he gets every year in the Winter Festival comp, he always looks forward to coming over (not just for the winnings :evil: )

Good Luck Boys!
