| Re: Smutt Trophy 2007 Rules. Fellow smutt hunters What bs line would you recommend using, as the article pointed to by maghouse said "you wont stop them with 20lb line & a poker"? That's a bit unfortunate as I'm kind of attached to my 20lb almost as much as it is to my spools. Never having fished overnight before - what's the difference legalwise between a very small tent, a fishing bivvy & a 45" umbrella? cheers Spahill __________________ Spahill Just like the fish, the wit got away... 2008 - Sessions 8; Blanks 1; Species 8 (Cuttlefish, Herring, LSD, Mackerel, Pout, Scad, Whiting & Wrasse (Ballan)) |

20lb line is fine, the BS refers to a direct weight - you will never lift the fish direct (assuming you hit double figures  ) As long as you 'play the fish you will be fine, I use 15lb and never had a problem - I have never had a 20lb fish  but thats another story !A small bivvy/tent on the beach by your rods is fine .... a tent in the field behind might be a problem - look at the carp boys and thier luxury detached 3 storey with colour TV bivvys ...... __________________ SUPPORT THE RNLI - click : www.rnli.org.uk ... every little helps !

| Re: Smutt Trophy 2007 Rules. dont worry about the line spahill, i used to use 15 and some times even 12 without a problem, you just have to play the fish, like maghouse said __________________ Bens The Name And Catchings The Game Anti the Anti's |
