Only one I've ever heard of caught on rod and line was on Paul Grahams boat "Lady Karen", out of Portrush a few years ago. If you really want one, you'd be better heading to Wexford for a few days :lol: :lol:

smooth hounds are very pickey about where they hang out they tend to go for the more cosmapolitan areas of coastline.
