...thats a common skate, thornbacks are good to fish for from the shore, and you can target them pretty easily, with sandeels and mackerel and ragworm, you can get good 'uns to over 10lbs.

...and they are very easy to release alive too...

Hi

Tried a few times and seen others hook up and three people land fish, all very exciting and they are massive creatures but in terms of fishing as a sport, its about as interesting as watching paint dry. In fact go down to a gym, pick up a big weight on a barbel (sorry :wink: ) and rep armcurls with it a few hundred times and that is about the length and breadth of it.

It is certainly an achievement to land one of these things, even more so from the shore where arguably there is even greater skill involved but it is never going to set the blood racing like a tope racing off with yer bait!

FWIW...
