smoothies at prestatyn

[fredmoore]

went out last night to prestatyn at the boat club, and had a good session.first cast out had rod nearly wrenched out of my hand,unfortunately my drag was not set,result broken hooklength.next hour resulted in two smoothies around 6-7lb and a glut of dabs.only needed fresh lug to guarantee a bite a chuck until slack water when bites stopped abrubtly.there were two other yaks out,not sure if they caught as they were upriver from me.you guys need to get down there for a go,seriously good fishing and good parking and launch facilities.got to be the best kept secret in north wales

You were catching smoothounds on LUGWORM? incredible! I thought you had to have crabs to catch them.

hi dorado,yes mate lug is the bait,I had crab with me but I was really hoping for a bass,which at this mark is the top bait ,for some reason always outfishing peeler.while I was out 5 bass were caught between the 6 craft out but not to me unfortunately.Earlier this year one local guy caught 37 bass in one tide on his boat,but that was further out.The tide rip here is fearsome on the big tides,so I tend to stay only a few hundred yards offshore.
