Excellent pictures Alan,

Maybe you could give kilkeeconger a few tips on how its done

In fact seeing them has me thinking of investing in a new camera in the January sales.

Mann, i've got a great camera you can buy save you going to the sales you'll just need a black cloth to hang over the back of your neck to keep the dark out mate when taking a still.LOL

Good Luck
And

cheers for the feedback on the pics guys . and do'nt give up hope yet mann, the digital camera we use is a lidl cheepo special . i think it's a vivitar or something, only cost £50 and is still going strong 2 years on

The camera I use is the silver crest… got 2 from Lidle or Aldi Shaped like a cigar case and the screen flips out from the side… gave one to my sister as a gift and used the other for fishing… I suppose I should say that I took it fishing once and as I washed my hands in the surf it popped out of my top pocket and went for a dip,

Needless to say it died a quick death without ever seeing a fish so I begged the other camera back and it is doing the job nicely in daylight but at night I have a problem with the flash turning fish such as Bass into a ball of silver,

Someone told me to put masking tape over the flash to cure the problem so I will try that next time out,

I feel its not the camera that has a problem Its me,

Well done Alan thats exactly what im talking about clear and concise photos on an official measure, stunning fish and i think if they hit 3lbs we'd all be fishing for them. .
" i think the lesson here is put your photos were your mouth is " as we all know as anglers that the fish you catch always gets bigger in your stories and were all guilty

as i have already stated from the start of this post i didn't mention 3lb so where you keep getting this weight from is beyond me, maybe you should concontrate a little bit more ?????????

OH Man this is killing me

[WrasseBasher]

killtheconger i never said you did state it was three lbs, we were discussing size and dan said he saw them 3lbs in creels, in strangford lough or somewhere, this is a forum for discussion if im writing on your topic it doesnt neccessarily mean im referring to you, read all the posts, i replied to dans. saying id like to see the 3lb fish he's talking about as ronald already stated. so relax and take it easy .
keep fishing for the three pounder though .
sorry for any confusion.

[WrasseBasher]

the british record for short spinned sea scorpion is 2lb 7oz so if it was added to the irish specimen list you might be looking at a specimen weight 1lb-1.5lb(maybe)

I didn't realise they grew to that size, the ones I've seen and caught myself have all been tiddlers.


Btw that's some fish Eyes

theres bigger in strangford lough. i've seen them to atleast 3Ibs in creels with cod head for bait, but you get loads of tiddlers. might give it a go for them next year and if i get a biggie that will be brill iant.

[kilkeeconger]

No worries Wrashbasher,i apologise for the mistake it just seemed directed
at me.
Happy new year
and
TIGHTLINES

i defo saw my biggest in strangford lough a good 2.5Ibs+. also seen some huge tadpole fish. i am sure that there are plenty of irish records there and even possibly british records.
