South West Good night on the coast

[John Mitchell]

Ben and went to our local coast looking for a huss and some bass , no bass but a good nights fishing for a change .
we got there for 5pm first target was wrasse we soon had them 2 each , biggest went to Ben 2lb just over .

Then for the first time I have ever known at this mark spiders , Ben had 4 .,then as we were lure fishing looking for a bass some nice big mackerel appeared Ben had the biggest which he weighed and it was well over a pound .,we also had pollack and a nice surprise launce for my spieces hunt ,,then when it got dark I had a huss , Ben had loads of bites but he kept missing them , they were dropping off , I think his bait was too big .,so to sum up the evening, Ben was really pleased that for the first time in quite a few sessions we were into a reasonable amount of fish ,Ben out fished me with biggest fish, the wrasse , the most mackerel, and the most spider crabs ?.

Huss I think.

 

[Mr Fish]

Huss I think.

Hard to say without seeing the nose properly but from what I can see it does look like a dog.
Huss spots also TEND to be bigger but the marking is absolutely no guarantee.

I'm far from an expert, and as you say, you can't see the nose flaps, but I think John would have been pretty certain to put it up for his species hunt.

Yes I would definitely put money on John knowing the difference.

Just from what I can see in the pic it LOOKS like a dog, but you can’t really see the identifying features.

I know in the past I have weighed a ‘good dog’ for a comp and then on closer look realised it was a huss! The fish never got as far as me submitting it for the comp, thankfully!
