How're ya lads.
I saw a most peculiar thing last night, I was bottom fishing off the rocks in Dalkey last night. It was getting a bit dark and I'd no torch so I decided to pack it in.I reeled in my gear and I was pulling messy bits of mackerel which I was using for bait with my pliers,when the strip of skin began to glo,First I thought some small current was passing between the pliers and the hook,Im not an electrician but electricity doesnt usually glow green! ,so on closer inspection there was about 4 or 5 tiny worms no bigger than 7.5mm long and 1mm wide,Im guessing they were worms because they were segmented and had no other features. They glowed in unison, a throbbing immense green glow,I dislodges the mackerel and dropped it on the rock and they glowed on regardless. I threw them back in the sea to glow on but Ive never seen anything like it,Can anyone fill me in or has anyone seen something similar?
