Brilliant,great to see she knows her species 8) anything is possible the way the water temps have been along the east coast, i have been getting 15.5c in the boat last few trips. The question i have is why do you bring a net when tiddler bashing :shock: :lol: :lol:

Wouldn't have believed IT, had I not seen it with my own 2 eyes.
And fair play to them for releasing the fish back.

TBH, Your better off taking them for the table. They come into Ireland on Atlantic currents and although they fight well, they would not be a strong swimming migratory fish. Once the water Temp drops in Autumn and Winter, they will die, so best to enjoy them for dinner. They are a really nice table fish.
