Well first of all I would like to say hi and introduce myself. I'm Paul and previously owned my own boat but swapped it for my two children! now they are getting older I'm having a little bit more time for myself so kayak fishing is born!

As I'm new to kayak fishing I have been tagging along with Lofty! what an afternoon in the solent. I got there set myself up and was all ready to fish! just needed bait as Lofty was being very kind and bringing me some. one problem!, I was so keen I was two hours early! I thought id go for a paddle and get some Mackerel. No mackerel!. Lofty has arrived he said this is a smooth hound rig and this is how you put a crab on, so I did! and then... AMAZING! I caught my first smooth hound about 8lb.

As I was fishing for hounds I thought id use my son Hugo's small telescopic rod, with a small rag on! a small hook for maybe a small bream, OR NOT! a sting ray! not sure on weight as to be honest I was a little nervous on bringing it on the kayak, but it really did scrap well on small tackle.

4 more hounds later all around 10lb all I could say was amazing. A fellow kayaker that had joined us decided to call it a day, so offered use some more crab! so half an hour more wouldn't hurt then thunder and lightning. Maybe time to go, then the rod went... OH MY GOD!! it scrapped a beautiful smooth hound around 15lb Amazing!
