When to Catch Smoothhounds?

The best time of year for smoothhounds is June to September. George says he fishes two hours up to high tide and four hours back down to cover all his options. “Some years they'll come in mainly on the flood tide and other years mainly on the ebb,” the England shore internatinal explains.

What is the best bait for Smoothhounds?

Smoothhounds get caught on a multitude of baits with squid, ragworms, lugworms, sandeels and mackerel among the most successful, but the one bait that tops them all is a peeler crab.

What month do you catch mackerel?

May-June is the best time to catch mackerel, although they are caught all summer in numbers and larger specimens are sometimes caught in winter.
