Look what we can catch just off the coast here now.
You will need a big boat or it will be towing you.

Well go on then.

Reel one in. Half a million bucks in an oriental fish market for sushi.

Catch and release only, I understand. We saw boats with tuna rods out near Eddystone from the Santander ferry in September.

Re: Fishing in Devon

Those 600lb fish are a bit difficult to land. There are a lot around Madeira judging by how many are being sold in the fish market there.
You could be just Mackerel fishing and hook a tuna.
Looking at the garfish, they used to be rare and always chasing mackerel shoals. I sometimes caught the odd garfish when out in the boat but its not a fish to eat, Nasty if it comes off the hook and starts snapping at your feet in the boat. I like watching Barracuda when out snorkeling, a menacing looking fish but it just stays still when humans are swimming nearby.

I used to catch one occasionally when mackerel fishing from Brighton's West Pier but was told that if cooked their bones turned green.

Re: Fishing in Devon

They do turn green alright. I used to cook them for the cat as she would eat any boiled fish.
Garfish attack Mackeral by coming from below and bite them in half at times.

Re: Fishing in Devon

Back in the summer I stopped near a local coarse fishing spot when I was out on the bike.

A bloke there caught a decent sized pike, which managed to give him a very nasty bite on his finger while he was trying to unhook it.

Judging by the blokes response and the amount of claret flowing it was painful.

I gave up fishing when I discovered girls.
