Gurnard fishing
Gurnard - from the Triglidae family - are also known as sea robins due to their large pectoral fins which mimic bird’s wings in appearance. They are bottom-dwelling fish, living down to 200 m. Sea robins can be caught by dropping a variety of baits and lures to the seafloor.
There are three different types of gurnard - red gurnard (Chelidonichthys cuculus), grey gurnard (Eutrigla gurnardus) and tub gurnard (Chelidonichthys lucerna) - which vary in shape, size and colour but rarely exceed 40cm in length.
