Blackmouth Doggies

[Fastd]

Had my first one of these this weekend.

 

I wasn't sure what it was as it looks so different from a LSD ...but having googled it there is no doubt. We did not weigh the one I got but it wont be far off the 2lb 12 oz record and I will post some pics soon as I recieve them fom the guy who took them. we also got a cuckoo ray and 7 commons for 754lb in the same session.. all in all a day to remember with 3 personal bests including two new species.

 

I would love to post the report here but the two guys with me were off another forum and cant log in here as they have hotmail accounts and cant register. So would be pretty pointless.

Lovely looking fish in my opinion, the blackmouth doggy that is.

 

Well done, sounds a cracking trip.

Blackmouth doggie indeed.

I thought Davy was pulling my plonker when he first mentioned them to me. I`d never heard of them. They`re lovely looking things.

Glad to see you`re keeping the flatties exercised.

Here should be the photo's

 

 

 

The markings are totally different from a normal LSD which got me confused untill I opened its mouth.

 

It was well into the 2lb bracket which makes it a good specimen but unfortunately I never weighed it.This is the big giveaway.

 

 

We were also treated to a fantastic show by 5 dolphins at the harbour entrance which was worth the trip on its own.

 

 

I may be wrong about the doggie ID but if I am please feel free to correct me Will post a vid of the dolphins as soon as its off my phone.

 

Cheers

The thing with Blackmouths, is , you spend weeks getting all worked up about going to catch them, then you spend ages motoring to the BM area......then 20 mins later, you have 2 on the same rig.....bit of an anti climax actually......
