Afishionado Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 We wanted to try for some smooth hounds so taking advice from previous posts we decided to go to this Saddle mark in Bournemouth bay. By the way apparantly the 'Saddler mark was a reference to the sponsorship of a yacht racing mark named after Saddler yachts. Since Saddler went bust the racing mark has been adopted by BP and is Yellow with the BP logo on it......... Any way not far from it there are some shallow gullies in the sand/gravel bottom which we thought we would try. The first half an hour or so was dead and we were thinking of moving but decided to wait untill the full ebb started. We made the right choice and as the tide picked up we were into some lovely Smoothounds, and boy did they fight on our light Maxximus carbons. Terrific fun! It lasted for about an hour and then like the flick of a switch they were gone. Still catching little bream and mackerel on bare hooks as we reeled in we stayed for anothe half hour and called it a very nice warm and sunny day. By the way talking about reels, I used for the first time a 'ToothyCritter' multiplier I picked up on Ebay for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
