Popular Post jonnyswamp Posted June 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) After having a reefing trip out of Dale cancelled on Saturday, I thought I'd tell some lies to Monday's customer and go fishing instead (well, it is my birthday) No dead bodies this time and not too many fish Locked out at 7 and headed up on the first of the flood to a mark we picked a few Bass up off on the last trip Anchored in 12ft and sent the baits out (Rag, crab, squid, mackerel and combinations of all 4) Fuck all for about 2 hrs, then I hooked in to a small Thornie, Shuff a small dog and the same for Nipper This was how it panned out for the remainder of the flood, so we had short move over to a mark Near Newport deeps This threw up a million dogs and a few Conger (even to the worm only baits) Nippers rod then gave a solid couple of thuds and all hell broke loose (he was using a 12lb class Kenzaki, rather than an uptider) This was the result Around 14lb of angry Smoothhound and the only one of the day (caught on ragworm) Only the one picture as none of the small dogs, rays and conger looked photogenic enough to warrant it Off to sunnier climes Saturday and hope to do a bit of Tuna, Marlin fishing But may end up with just puffer fish again Edited June 6, 2022 by jonnyswamp Malc, thejollysinker, suzook12 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 That's a lovely smoothound - good pic too. Well dangled Nipper, especially on a light Kenzaki. Tight lines for your trip away. Do you have a charter booked already? jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
