Fish angling

Joined: Oct 25, 2011 Posts: 4

My name is Sarah Aftergood, I'm a student at Newcastle University and for my MSc degree I'm collecting information on rare fish along the East coast of England and how fish distributions have changed over the last 20 years or so. I would like to begin with a list of fish species that are being caught by sea anglers, especially those that have not been caught before. It occurred to me that you might have such a list, and if not you might know who else might have? Any relevant information you provided would be acknowledged in the report I will write by next summer. Thank you for your time

Also, if you could let me know where you caught these fish, would be very helpful!!

Hi Sarah, welcome, Im sure peeps will be able to to help out, but there is one thing, you say your wanting info on the east coast, but i see your in newcastle, so do you mean the N/east coast, because the east coast starts around Hornsea down through lincolnshire etc. Good luck with the study, let us know how it goes, big grin

Hi! Well info along the entire east coast would still be very useful to me so I can see if warm water fish from down in the South East on moving up north.

Thanks!
