Any of the following in the Cleveland/North Yorkshire area (Say Hartlepool to Filey as I'm sure Holderness- Humber throws up allsorts)?

Sole
Gurnard
Turbot
Dogfish
Rays
Shad
Red/black bream
John Dory

You never seem to hear of these being caught, especially from the shore but you'd think that with the varied ground that forum members fish and the hours they put in there might be a few surprises over the years.

Ive had and seen the Odd Turbot caught around Saltburn and Skinningrove area
Ive heard of Dog fish at Hartlepool and Whitby and Ive caught small Sole in my shrimping net at Skinningrove.

Had rays and sole in boat off filey, and the odd dog fish is popping up off the Brigg every now and again :)

had quite a few shad at Whitby west over the years, one thing you will see if you get one is they have huge scales. Ive had a tiny turbot from sandsend and I saw lobbers get a dogfish at Whitby pier.

sole gurnard turbot and shad bud

a very small lemon sole off the gare years ago, and i have had grey and red gurnard from the the gare, only very small though, they were in amongst the dragonetts, i've had turbot all over the place, saltburn pier, sandsend, holderness, but they are always small.
i had a shad on the float off saltburn pier a few years ago, only small, but i did wittness one over 2lb one time, gorgeous looking fish with massive scales :)

Had them all apart fromt he last 2 from holderness , but i dont think bream and john dorys venture much into the north sea anyway

had them all apart from the bream in the trawl nets between whitby and staithes.

I wonder if these shad at Whitby run up into the estuary to spawn then.
I've always fancied a go at them with a little Mepps or a fly but the Severn, Wye and Towy are a bit far to travel for something that could be there one day, gone the next.
Some years a go I caught something that looked rather like a Burbot at Whitby, where the new 'Marina' apartments are on peeler while fishing for flatties.

Round wales way i heard that you get stacks of dog fish

baza · « **Reply #19 on:** July 29, 2007, 04:19:50 PM »

had shad and turbot from the n gare. a dogfish would be a novilty over here but they are a pain in the arse on the west coast you dont even need a hook to catch them either they grab hold and dont let go, some places they are there in plague proportions, it can be tiring dragging them in when youre targeting something bigger.
