I might be moving to Waterford in a few weeks for work.
I've never caught a smoothhound, and I'd love too target them.
How long do they wait around for does anybody know?

Re: Smoothhounds
I've heard of people getting them off Tramore strand, and in spots in the Waterford Estuary, and recently, around Hook Head.

Re: Smoothhounds
iv caught them at distance and reasonably close in..bear in mind, as with alot of estuary there is a ferocious pull on the tide and at times a short cast can be all you will get away with
