December 4, 2017 Posted by Graham

Given the recent wintery showers flushing cold water down the river, Gaz and Godders weren’t overly confident of finding many fish during their session at Otterspool. However, it turned out to be a pretty decent session with 3 codling taken to 4lb 9oz. Read the full report here.

The final round of this years WSF/BLAS Summer League was a 4 way shootout with Dale, Roy, and the two Dave’s all in contention to take this years overall title. Dale Edwards was leading the way and he was also the man to beat for the specimen fish trophy.  All in was called and it was apparent pretty quickly that the fish were here, and in some serious numbers too.

The Right Decision?

August 31, 2016 Posted by Graham

The right decision

Mark was debating whether to fish Kinmel Bay on Sunday night or whether to stay local and fish Formby. He decided on the latter, and after getting his gear together and the blow lug he’d dug the day before, Mark was on the beach and first bait in the water for 6.10am. There was a nice n/w breeze between 10 and 12mph which was giving a good steady surf nothing too big. Mark had had his best bass from Formby in near identical conditions 2 years ago and so he knew the beach could produce. But would it produce today? Find out here…

Smutty Weekend

After a successful session last weekend on the hounds Bruce and his son Dylan wanted to get in on some more smoothy action.  They had two venues in mind, one in North Wales and the other was to be the Rock Channel.  There was a lot to live up to after the fantastic session they’d had. Would they manage a repeat performance…oh yes, that and much, much more in fact!  Read the full report here….

Start Your Engines

Start Your Engines

Richie had been building his stocks of peeler ready for the start of the smoothhound run.  With a WSW breeze and overcast skies conditions looked perfect and so he and IanK made the long walk along the Rock Channel sandbank for the first time this year.  Crab baits were launched seawards and it was game on for the new season! Bang! It only took 30 seconds for Richie and he was into one.  Read the full report here.
