Report:
quick report 5 smoothies between us and i lost my biggest hound in years

when to fish
hit me he just peeled line of the reel and ran and ran ,rod was bent over from the power in
this fish ,thought i was in the driving seat as he neared the shoreline ,but how wrong i was ,at
this stage the hound was only 20 yrds out and decided to take me down the beach for a walk ,at this normanly they break the surface ,but not this brute he stayed deep ,and this point i he was getting
real close and just as i managed to get 3 turns of my shockleader on the reel, somehow he managed
to throw the hook

i was gutted

last night hit another spot close by ,same set up except i was on my tod ,fished 7.30 to 11.30 pm
Had a run on my 1 st cast good start ,ended up with 5 hounds between 4 and 5.LB PLUS
All the fish came in the 1st 3 to 4 hrs of the rise

bla bla bla the one that got away

mitch dont mind al he is an imaginary angler

enough of all these fishy tales give me the pictues or nothing

it could have been a small tope gerry i wonder what you would have preffered to land a 12 lb smoothie or a 20 lb tope

then again maybe it was a huge bass
