Re: nth wexford
Nice to meet Neil and Ger. Ended up with 5 smoothies to about 5 lb, a thornie of a couple of pounds and 2 dogs to finish the night off.
I had king rag with me which seemed to go down a treat on the night, 3 smoothies and the ray all fell to it. I'll stick up a couple of photos later.

Re: nth wexford
A few fish for your efforts lads, a pleasure to be out on such a fine evening.
FMCN, glad you got a few, its a long trip down from up there, the smoothies sure do seem to have a taste for the rag down that stretch of coast at the moment.

Re: nth wexford
I know its a matter of personal taste, but on saturday night both myself and saltydog were using pennel pullys, the majority of the fish caught on these rigs were got on the top hook.
I personally wouldnt fish a pully for smuts without the pennel arrangement, I dont miss many bites or drop many fish using it......it works for me
