| Smoothound fishing from a boat Ok this is my way of catching Smoothound The best bait I have found is hermit crab Just gently crack the shell open remove the hermit and place on the hook - if plentiful two on one hook works best Never leave the bait longer than 10-15 minutes as the sent trail dies away If not uptiding then use the lightest weight possible and bounce the bait away from the boat - settle on the bottom then lift and let out line till it settles again Smoothound are pack fish i.e swim with others so when one comes then the rest of the fish will follow Use a heavy trace they have teeth - but not wire there is no need - 60lb mono trace will do Smoothound aren't great eaters so strike early and hook them in the mouth un hook and return as quickly as possible Smoothound are great fighters on light tackle Anymore advice add it to this post __________________ Richard Fishing Tackle | Sea Fishing |Carp Fishing| Spud Gun | Zander fishing | Fishing Reports | Hunting Reports |

| the smuts have started to show on the pagham side of selsey in the last week or two only small male fish at the mo to 14lb .But given the settled warm weather and the bigger tides in the coming week i expect the females to appear also hopefully some of the big black bream we had last year.These were huge for shore fish for down here with the average size 2lb running to 4lb great fishing!! |
