Make good eating too, if ya can be bothered cleaning 'em, very small fillet yield though, and be bloody careful of those spikes.......

Yep, you look spot on Tommy after looking at streetfighters link. Might have to inform them that you catch them on the west coast too. :)

Lost Gurnard
Ads the old man got one of those in the inlet in Walpole about 10 years ago. I was there or I wouldn't have believed it. So the depth of water blows that theory away. Maybe one very lost gurnard of some kind.

french name
this fish is common in france. wich name is galinette or rouget grondin. when it is out of water, it make a strange sound like grrrrr!!!
it s delicious and beautifull fish which live between 150 feet to 600 feet.
you can catch it frequently with bottom taping jigging or with natural bait...
bye
