smoothie tips

Rodger wonder why they only go to wicklow last..... C u out in north dub asap

Hounds showing up at poolbeg lads

does courtown produce a few hound rodger? also where would the nearest mark to cork that would produce em? rosslare???

courtown can fish very well for hounds but havent heard of any yet

does a rough or moderate sea produce hounds,or does it need to be calm,also is an easterly wind a no go

East wind usually chops up the water on the east cost witch ant good for hounds , I find that they like calm sea's but not too calm, a but of movement and a small swell I find best but others might disagree

thanks for that,think thats where i was going wrong

Agree with Paul, a bit of chop or a light surf is far better than flat calm.

is wind direction important? do southerly winds work better than the others or is it not that important...

allways done well on a southerly even a storng one found the hounds came in fairly close

nice one for the smoothie tips dude

my tip is make sure they are there to start with, i find pennel rigs with 2,os the best ,with smallish baits when theres not too many about/crabs that is heehee,a auerilieon,hope i got the spelling right,my old pal,anyway enough of that,up and overs if its calm,and if its rough snoods of about 2 ft up high and6 inches from the lead hope you understood all that anyway the coyser fishing a long time now but like all of us,not enough hope to get out this weekend,aye chuck,even rice crispies stay quite when hes around

Around what month do they start to appear . ???

another question, when do they start to disappear?

its all about the size of fish that are around and how big a bait you want to use i carry several differnt size pully rigs with longer snoods if i,m fishing in a strong run ,from a size 2 pennel up to size 5/0 with a 3/0 pennel hook ,this might sound big but its often the one i use if i,m not getting hit ,big baits put out big scent trails ,if i miss some bites i,ll drop down to sometimes using a size 2 kamazan and half a small crab on a two hook flapper unfortunatly its trile and error till you find out whats working best

Sound advice better off having a good few made thanks...

Heya, how are you doing? Wow the spelling is a bit weird but not so far

Found the culprits on my second set of traps ... Big fat eels

Went out Saturday to check a promising mark, got a few bites, but no fish landed

Did you went out terrorising those little fellas?

Hope you get more luck than me

See you around ...

Lads any tips on targeting smoothies from a boat.would you strike into them and also what hooks would u use.cheers.

Only back to fishing now after a five year break. used to be regular on the forum but i forgot my username

Went down to Wexford last week and oh boy was i in for some treats.

First evening we got a few nice sized ray from dodds rocks (courtown north beach) fished the ocean side of the sandbar using rag only.

Next evening got 2 nice 6-7 pound hounds on the courttown south beach near the borrow. uptide from the river, again on the sandbar. Had a massive wallop of a bite in the slough which i'm convinced was a bass but i struck too early. used pellers and rag.

But the highlight was the 10 pound bass i saw caught on roney point. I wish it would have been me, but i was delighted for him anyway.
