Smoothies

#1 Post by Nicholas6850 »

Well after our disaster of a trip to Kerry ( flat tyres, broken cooker, bad weather and only 4 flounder) we have decided on a two night trip early September for smooth hounds. We travel from around Belfast so a good spot with as little travel is wat we looking. Also if the area throws up bass would be.a bonus as I have yet to get my first. Any info or pm's be appreciated

the hounds showed up on time this year so most likely they will leave on time.
Im not saying you wont catch you just wont be guaranteed a hound

Can only try, work does get get in the way or woulda been down already. Where would be our best bet to even try, or if not a good bass spot would do. Not been a great year for us yet, few good numbers but no big fish as of yet
