their not always this black ,i have seen them the colour of yours.
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.

Thanks all. Barry Murphy got it and wanted me to stick it in the species hunt but was not sure what species it was. Are we going with rock or round as I think the rock is gone..........

so you should get a few points in the species hunt :wink:
