Report:Myself andd james arranged to meet in rosslare for what i hoped to be a smoothound session...I had no crab worth talking about, just some cheap imported crap!!! But i had loads of king rag so i was semi confident i was gonna get a smut...We set up between 10 other anglers, Crossovers was iminent...I got the first fish between myself and james, a nic elil doggie..i waited in anticipation to see whether or not it was a smut..after a bit of bater with a few of the other lads who were already there, i noticed another bite on the Bze..another lil doggie...croppy boy and boycie had made their way down the beach and setup between us and 2 cork lads...james had a lil smoothie in between all this...i bummed a crab off fintan and cut it in half, baited up and cast out to wree booycie recommended, 5 mins later a 2lb smut...the other half got me another 1 a bit bigger....boycie was haulin in nice size 1's...round the 5lb mark and fintan got a tope :shock: ill let him fill ye in :wink: ..james got a bigger smoothie and gave him some scrap...i didnt want to ask fo rmore crab so baited up with king rag on a pennel pulley on borh rods...i pulled in one cause i seen a bit, but i was reeling in the other trace i had on the other rod, on which both had smoothies lol...so thats 2 rods, 2 traces, 2 smoothies but i only reeled in 1 :lol: all in all a good night, and ill def be back with proper crab...

For smoothies Peeler crab, Squid works to though but i'd be more confident with peeler :)

Had a great night caught my first smoothie, so happy days dead right dave about them going crazy when you have em 20 yards out!!! looking forward to the next trip up....smashing spot.
