Cracking session Mark, conditions looked really still and the mighty rag come through with no fancy cocktails required! Congratulations on the shore PB too, gives us all some hope of big fish from the shore.
It doesn’t have to be fancy but it does take more than one visit sometimes. I’ll be doing another hound video soon right back to basics and using hard back crab which is possibly one of the easiest baits to collect. 🦈🎣👍🏻
Lovely hounds Mark , I've had a couple of Hounds around the 8 lb mark but no double figures yet, another great watch, keep it reel , look forward to ya next adventure.
Cheers Rick, nice to hear from you. The Solent does seem to hold a good population of hounds that are of a decent size. The British shore record came from the Meon area. I must admit that lighting was an issue on this session which I am trying to sort out. Take care. 🦈🎣👍🏻
Eazy mark you ok pal, nice one for the footage again. Well done on your new p.b. it is still flounders n sole for me of the last loads of sessions. I seem to he the flatfish magnet since February I don't no what's happening lol. All the best from G.Y
My apologies Steve, a month without uploading feels like a long time. I fished this mark 2 days previously and couldn’t get past the weed, persistence paid off. 🦈🎣👍🏻
Well done mate on the pb lovely session like you work etc has kept me of the beach managed a nice bream 2 weeks ago, i am down your way middle of july if you want to meet up aiming to get a couple sessions in while down there great video mate tight lines
Drop me a message the week before you visit this way and I’ll see what I can do with work. Hoping for some settled weather and for this wind to do one.
For clean ground I prefer the fathom SD 12’s and I’ve gone down in line diameter to ASSO ultra-cast 14lb. When I do use the CS’s I have them loaded up with 20lb mainline but not as often. I did take them to Norway where they worked really well.
Hi Mark, Nice fish, well done.. Which mark mate? I fished Hill Head last Wednesday, 2 x doubles 12 & 13 ib, in 3 hours, on spider peelers, best nights fishing of my life !
Hill head and Meon are fishing well, Hamble less so. Spider peeler is a killer bait as they are inshore and moulting atm. This session was Park Shore as Meon was packed wall to wall with anglers. I believe there was an 18lb caught recently in the area. 😉
