Thanks matey. Appreciate the positive feedback. I'm learning all the time. At the rate I'm going I'm hoping to make a really good video in September. 2026.
Wow Tom didn't them funny little smoothounds spoil the stingray session , god it was so boring (NOT) LOL , great fishing , hope Mrs Boss is good , and I shall be using them bagnel bar rigs this weekend can't wait , Unfortunately My grandson passed away just over a year ago and it knocked me sideways , but my son and I will go fishing again this weekend first time in a year , thx to your brilliant videos you've giving my son and I the zest to go again 💙, sorry couldn't find a pink heart lol lol , take care Tom to u and Mrs boss and the family x
Oh mate, I'm so sorry to hear that. I can't even begin to imagine how hard that has been to deal with. My thoughts are with you and all your family. I hope fishing with your son gives you both a bit of an escape, and some quality time together.
@christchurchanglingcentre5428 Thank you so much Tom , you've always come across as a very genuine person that means alot , really hope to get down to Barton on sea in Sept or Oct to see family if I do I will definitely come into the shop and say hello and shake your hand , stay safe to you and all your family , and keep them videos coming we love them 💙
Ah Tom what a beautiful evening and some lovely hounds too!!! 😊 Such an enjoyable video I was smiling all through it!!! Well done mate cheers Ian Ps… I always remember my headlamp but don’t always remember to charge it which is even more frustrating 😂😂😂
Bracklesham Bay ,last Tuesday. I had two ,the guy next to us had ten. 3pm high tide we fished two hours flood and two ebb down .... Great sesh !!!! Sqid and rag
Enjoyed that Tom. And I know what you mean by hating being watched when you fish. You should try playing a 4lb thick lip in Padstow harbour with 40 people behind you - I can assure you it's extremely unpleasant!
Oooh, that doesn't sound like a fun experience! I do try and avoid fisihng anywhere near members of the public! The problem with mullet is they do seem to really like public places! 😣
Going to watch this in a bit, popped in today with my daughter thanks for the selection of mullet spinners and setting them up for me and the special mullet spinning rod, you have a lovely shop there with a great selection 👍🏻😉
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 hi mate just give the video a watch another top watch 👍🏻 on the way back to our hotel, my daughter kept saying we met a famous you tuber daddy bless her 😊thanks for your time top man 👍🏻😉
just gonna watch this now but the title made me laugh, i wish i had that problem, popped in your shop earlier grabbed a few bits, great shop you have great selection
Nothing is a secret on my channel. Apart from the secret bits, of course. Both of these rods are 14ft (or 4.3m). That is my general go to length for my beach fishing.
You weren't wrong with Lepe to be fair. The problem with hounds is they run through in packs and move about a lot. There'll be loads one night, none the next. So a good dollop of luck is always needed. I'd leave the Solent alone this week though. The bigger tides will make the weed horrendous :-(
I can't see why not mate. You can get a good run of hounds there too. I'd probably suggest a short session up to high on a smaller tide at the moment. There's a lot of weed around in the Solent making the bigger tides pretty unfishable.
Awesome mate, thank you for sharing, I haven't really ever had a session like that where the rods are just going mad every 5 minutes, so it's great to see that it can happen, and on rag too, did you manage any more fish into dark, or did you pack it in👍🎣🎣
Hey dude. I actually just packed up. I figured I'd had a really great session already, and meant I got home at a sensible hour, so wasn't too grumpy in the morning! Win win.
Great vid Tom and well angled. Never heard them called silver dogfish before lol, but they are great fun on light gear and we have been very lucky with the lack of weed so far, any ideas why?
Thanks mate. I think sadly we've spoken too soon though. Just a few days after I fished the whole Solent became pretty unfishable because of weed! Think I'll wait until the smaller tides are back.
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 do you think all the winter rain washed the nitrates etc from the fields to the sea so the weed has less to use to grow? Just a theory and also why so many straps around, I have never caught so many in all my 45 years fishing.
Certainly seems to be, mate. I've not really put much time into them over the last couple of years, but have really enjoyed it this year. There aren't many things that pull back as hard as they do. The fact they often move through in shoals means you can have a really awesome session without grinding out a load of hours!

Another great video. Keep them coming!
Thanks mate
Cheers Tom … Awesome way to spend an evening 👍🎣🎣
It sure was. Can't beat a summer evening with screaming reels!
Enjoyable little flick yet again matey, you're really getting the hang of the editing and filming!
Cheers dude. Appreciate that. There's actually a fait bit of time and effort goes into these!
Awesome video again mate and well done on the hounds 💪 🎣 👍🏻
Thanks Ian 😊
Great stuff Tom what a epic session , love the editing as well ! See you on the next one 🎣😎👍🏼

I can't believe I forgot my lights! I honestly can't remember the last time I did that! What a plonker.

love it well done tom💪
Thanks mate. 👍
Great film, many thanks for posting. What length of rods are you using there please .....if that's not secret ?
Nothing is a secret on my channel. Apart from the secret bits, of course.
Both of these rods are 14ft (or 4.3m). That is my general go to length for my beach fishing.
Cracking vid as usual Tom, great job finding the hounds.
Just wondering if you're selling the T-shirts and caps?
Thanks, mate. I will be selling both at some point soon. I'll make a song and dance about it once they're ready, I'm sure!
Unlucky on the stinger hunt mate.
Pfft. Any idiot can catch stingers
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 Ur absolutely right lol 🤣🤣
Well done buddy
Thank you my lovely.
Loving the videos Tom. I went to Lepe to try for a few pesky hounds last week, but no luck. Could you point me to a spot for them please? Cheers Doug.
You weren't wrong with Lepe to be fair. The problem with hounds is they run through in packs and move about a lot. There'll be loads one night, none the next. So a good dollop of luck is always needed. I'd leave the Solent alone this week though. The bigger tides will make the weed horrendous :-(
What a fantastic evening's fishing. Do you offer a guiding service at all ?
I don't I'm afraid. Sorry. Just a lack of spare hours in my week with everything else I do!
Great video! Do you think the same idea would work at Bracklesham Bay in Chichester? Is it best at high tide?
I can't see why not mate. You can get a good run of hounds there too. I'd probably suggest a short session up to high on a smaller tide at the moment. There's a lot of weed around in the Solent making the bigger tides pretty unfishable.
Ok thanks for your help, I will give it a go. 👍
Thank you for the advice, my fishing mad 11 year is very happy! We caught our first smooth hounds this evening. The biggest being 7 lb. 👍
Fantastic mate. Really glad to hear that. They are such awesome things to catch.
Awesome mate, thank you for sharing, I haven't really ever had a session like that where the rods are just going mad every 5 minutes, so it's great to see that it can happen, and on rag too, did you manage any more fish into dark, or did you pack it in👍🎣🎣

Nice session! But what IS that t shirt? I LOVE IT. ...
Aha, that's my new logo! Having a slight rebrand of the channel (not the shop!). I'll be doing hats, t-shirts etc to sell in the coming months.
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 Awesome 👌 Really nice choice - logo looks great. Will be buying a few bits when available 👍
Thank you 😊
Great vid Tom and well angled.

Just a theory and also why so many straps around, I have never caught so many in all my 45 years fishing.
Is this a particularly good year for the hounds Tom? So many being caught along my Kent coastline.
Certainly seems to be, mate. I've not really put much time into them over the last couple of years, but have really enjoyed it this year. There aren't many things that pull back as hard as they do.

Oh dear, what a shame, never mind! 🤣🤣🤣
It was awful mate. Ruined the session 🤣🤣
