Overrun Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Met up with Richi, Lozz, Speciman & Zzippy for an afternoons fun with Smooth Hounds. First on the water, made for the 'BP' buoy, scene of last years P.B. Loads of Yachts, the Solent busy as I've seen it. Mini Bream bites immediately on Squid and Rag, reserving hard back and single peeler crab collected from the shore for later. Richi paddled on out and buoyed close to the channel. Speciman & Zzippy appeared shortly afterward followed later by Lozz. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s175/ruffj/P5310384.jpg An hour passed and the tide was running at full strength, Lozz on the VHF was in to number 1. Swapped buoys with Zzippy just as Speciman boated a good sized Hound. Foul hooked a mini Bream then used my one peeler. Instant hook-up on my only Hound of the session, rather uncharacteristically fought like a good Bass, instead of blasting down tide in the shallow water, approx. 3-4lb. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s175/ruffj/P5310388.jpg Zzippy returned and picked up a further 2. The tide eased and we headed in, Lozz's final total was 8 fish in the 4-8lb range, all on peeler, the bait of the day, unlike last year when Rag or Squid did the business. Zzippy's biggest one: http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk5/KAY...69/DSC01126.jpg We'd all contacted fish, but none of the double figure fish like last year, hopefully the best is yet to come.
