went out with billy on his boat tight line friday. the plan was to have a go at the smooth hounds out from holy head and to try for a pollack or two around the break water
once we set the anchor the dog fish came out to feed and were taking the crab baits before the smooth ies got a chance.after 3 or 4 dogs billy had his first one over the side around the 5lb mark
then in between the dogs i had a codling at 1lb 8ozs
next in was billy again with a smaller one.
we had plenty more dogs but alas no smooth hound for me.
on the way back we drifted over the rough ground by the breakwater and i did manage a little pollack
one and a half pound as a consolation prize but what a great day out with sun all day and a good skipper
to chat to as always and some thing to go with the chips
