I have tried for the last 15 years to catch a Smooth hound from the beach . Admittedly I have only tried a few times each year but its always the same ; those around me catch , or its the " you should have been here yesterday mate !" scenario. What have I been doing wrong ?
Well Jeff had his ear to the Sea fishing grape vine and the latest info was that Bracklesham beaches were on fire with Smoothies .. so off we went .
Firstly the issue of crabs for bait .
A crab trap resulted in an amusing interlude but some essentially free crabs .
The beach was crowded and bristled with beachcasters !
Unfortunately Jeff managed to achieve the best birdsnest I have seen in ages !
The witching hour approaches !
Well we did everything right but ....the run of fish came down the beach as we watched rod after rod bending over and fish being landed but not where we were ! They stopped two groynes up !! Doh next time !
