Then in the winter we have here in the Top of the south , spikey dog fish lots and lots and the a few thousand more spikey bloody dog fish…the odd gurnard ,blue cod and then a few more spikey dog fish just to rub salt into the wound!

Thank you. I like salt water fishing, and I read some about fishing in your region since I still enjoy the NI fishes. I fished in picton once stayed for two nights with my wife, but there was no any luck, even on a spot that an old fisherman told us. Yeah, I am still a land based, but I am very keen to train my sea legs once I settled.
