50 years ago: Boys catch a rare fish at Gourock's McInroy's Point (1975)
WHEN John Stark and Graeme Warwick found themselves at a loose end at the start of the school holidays they decided to do some fishing. The result of that activity can be seen here, with a proud John. The boys had been fishing at McInroy's Point a short time when they reeled in a line and found at the end of it a strange fish they could not identify. Youngster Graeme Warwick with the fish in 1975 (Image: Archive) They decided to ask the owner of a local fishing tackle shop to name it for them, but he too was baffled. He consulted a reference book and eventually the fish was identified on a wall chart as a comber or sea perch.

The fish eventually had to be disposed of but John, of 13 Newton Street, wisely made sure that he first got some pictures of their rare catch. This article was first published on August 1, 1975.
