Tom Collins of Sea Angling Charters has been busy with some great blue shark fishing lately – but it’s a different coloured fish that caught the eye this week. One of Tom’s crew, Noel, caught a fine sized megrim – which is also known as a Lantern fish.
The megrim was 53cm long and 2.5lbs in weight and, while it may appear to be a drab brown colour in the daylight, these fish glow green in the dark; indeed, it was the fishermen of old who gave them the name, they would dimly light the holds beneath the decks of the fishing boats with their green glimmer.
Go fishing…
