There's been a few of them caught up there from my understanding.

nice one man. dawsey was up there a few weeks back and found one washed up on the beach at the whiterocks. so there must have been a run of them up that way. there was also a garfish taken from the blue pool during the same week. so if thats global warming, i say bring it on

yeah looks like it they travel in the jet stream from the americas and normally arrive in cork its ment to be real rare that they travel up to the north coast. so im glad i caught 1 cause they mightened show there face for another couple of years.

Nice one on the trigger. The other fish is a scad. Piles of them down in cork at the moment. There was strings of them coming onto our boat the last time we were out but i still couldn't manage to catch one

i havent seen them being caught of the shore before, i caught it on the bottom with a strip of mackerel, is this normal r do they be caught usually by jigging and spinning methods????

nice trigger it would have been nicer seeing it being released.

#19 Post by **BigPhil** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 2:22 am

they were caught on a variety of baits the last time they showed in numbers around portrush.
rag, crab, squid, mack etc
