Report:Some frozen peeler in the fridge so i decided on another trip south for what i think would be my last chance this year at catching my first decent smoothie. Arrived a bit early as it was still bright sunshine with a lot of families still about. As the sun set the families disappeared and i was left with the beach to myself. Fished with 2 rods both baited with the peeler and hadn't a lot to show after 2.5 hours, a few small knocks but nothing that could take my 3/0 pennell. With bait running out and the long drive home beckoning i got the only decent bite of the night just as it got really dark. After a relatively short struggle landed a small common smoothie about 2lbs. Still only a small fish but it beats my first starry by 1lb 14oz.
So delighted with the result and can't wait for another bash at a bigger one next year.
, nice Smoothie, they give a great scrap alright.
