Undulate ray 9lbs! We nearly doubled that on your boat mate!
I'd be really interested in where some of the shore records come from, even the present ones.
The only ones I'm vaugely aware of are:
Bass : RedWing Quay, Bembridge.
Conger : Atherfield
Smoothie : Burnt Wood(?)
IOW boys - care to add/correct any?
Steve.

shame that over fishing,not climate change has reduced this today....why the commercial's refuse to see this is beyond me,maybe when they've trawled the inshore clean they might admit to failing in the conservation side of fishing. most of all the government should take heed of such record's before it really is too late  |

I remember an uncle telling me that he caught a Common skate off the Needles, which went over 140lb,(rod and line) and was sent up to ST Mary's Hospital to feed the Patients, can't remember what year though, maybe late forties

to see and hear of good fish in years gone by is quite sickening , maybe one day it will recover , like the bass nusarys seem to be
