With all this talk of smoothound lately i decided that it was time to try catch a specie that i had never caught in 12 years of sea angling
and got the brother and headed down to wexford to a mark kindly given to me from a man on this sight (no mentioning names) 
... I arrived at the beach about 8.30 and was set up and bait in the water by 9 and i must say couldn have been better weather wise it was beautiful. Fishing was slow for the first few hours with only a few dogs been had by midnight but come one in the morning the bites started to appear and i had my first ever hound 
not big only about a pound but it was a good sign of them being in the area.. Just after that i latched into a nicer fish this one broke the sand and i was a tad sight more pleased this one went on the scales and weighed in a respectable 3.5lb.. The next hour or two was spent pulling in pup hounds and dogs and it all went quiet about 3am so much so that i was thinkin of packing up already happy with myself so decided to launch a big peeler out far and sit down for a smoke. I only sat down on my seat box and leaned for smoke when a noise appered suddenly i looked up and turned on my headlight to see my kompressor sport almost leave my tripod and fly down the beach Grabbing the rod and leaning in i knew this was a nice fish and after a couple of min a hound came flapping up onto the sand this time topping the scales at over 7lb 
I set up a match rod with ragworm to be rewarded with a nice fat codling and a sea scorpian before i left so all in all a nice session 
ps im trying to upload phots but it keeps telling me the images are to big
i cant THINK of it
