They are being caught all along the south coast, I've had reports from Plymouth in the west to Portsmouth in the east. They have been caught in Portsmouth harbour and that has fresh water running into it and the river at Salcombe..
So i'm not alone - cheers for that Norm
The bite was awesome, & the fish had already started to run on the take. I've caught some fish in my time, but as i said above, pound for pound this has to be the ultimate sport fish!
I did happen to come across a snippet of info that they feed mainly on crustaceans, which would explain the crushing pads in their mouths, so i was a bit surprised that i caught on rag worm. So i suppose if they're in hard competition for food they're not fussy feeders?
Cheers all for the info.
