With a 5 Bearded Rockling still on Rhyses and my target list, we had a trip to the Arches tonight with Grandad as chauffer as im still off the road.

We arrived about 2 hours before low, and fished on the stones straight in front of the Arches.

All was quiet for the first cast, but I missed a good bite on my second cast and Rhyses rod was pulling a bit but it was probably crabs showing through his braid.

We followed the tide down, and Rhys was first to catch, about half an hour before low. A small 5 Bearded Rockling.





Terry was next in with one a little bigger.











Finally, I caught one to spare my blushes.







I tried to show as many of the beards as I could in the photos as I know some people have issues finding them!

We missed a bite or two more before we headed home for Stella and medals!

Not the greatest session but target accomplished so Happy Days!

Good report and pictures there no doubt there are five none shaved off this time.

Great pictures kev a nice little session for you all well done

Mission accomplished
Lovely clear pictures Kev

Well done all, great photos

Think I'd rather not catch one given the confusion we've had with the little blighters!

well done nice pics and job done on the rockling

Are you 'Shore' it's not a '3 Beard' with a couple of skin tags ?????



Well done on achieving target species, the arches is certainly the place to catch them !
