| Red Scorpion Fish Just to let you know that I have caught Red Scorpion Fish at Portland Bill. I caught it last year but did not have a camera with me. It took me ages to identify as they are not usually found in UK waters. I have seen them recently when snorkelling and am now trying to catch another one so I can photograph it. See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/aquarium/p...rpionfish.html They can be caught using standard float tactics and ragworm. Jon __________________ Portland Jon Anyone can catch 'em when they are there. It's catching 'em when they are not there that's the hard part. Portland's Biggest & Best Sea Fishing Site www.portlandbill.co.uk     |

| Re: Red Scorpion Fish Hi Jon Good luck with your Red Scorpion Fish hunt. I'm sure you know (but others who might catch one may not) that the spines are venomous - not usually lethal, but very painful - may put you in hospital. Scorpion Fish (found throughout the tropics/sub-tropics) are a different group to our own "sea scorpions" which might spike you but are not venomous. Use a thick rag for handling Scorpion Fish and take care __________________ RNLI Governor Nothing matters very much, few things matter at all - Plato ...only things like fresh bait and cold beer - Vagabond |
