Smooth-Hound Shore Fishing - Minehead, Bristol Channel - June 2024

Fishing for smooth-hound from the shores of Minehead on the Bristol Channel. A very eventful day with my friend Kris targeting hounds. We lost a lot of fish and a lot of gear during the day but we will come back to this spot in a couple of weeks when we are more prepared to fish on snaggy bottoms.
The bait used on this particular day was king prawns and squid.
The first mark we fished was White mark which appeared to have an artificial reef of monofilament line which we believe is what was causing all of(if not most of) our snags. We then moved to gasworks which was slightly less snaggy and a more comfortable fish.

When your taken in the rocks like that down there by the smuts just give them some line mate they will often pull you out the snag
Nice vid subscribed

No problem tight lines

On the 1st mark u fished, walk past the spot u where fishing at and it’s much cleaner ground, lots of sand and u can fish it a lot longer, it’s literally just around the corner, also u get out in the tide more there. Good luck

[@TheTangledAngler]

Thanks for the tip James. Is that further away from the harbour or closer? I'm planning to go back there again soon

@@Onlyfins100 yes me and my friend are thinking of getting back that way as soon as possible. Seems to be fishing better than anywhere else at the moment

Hi guys, nice video. Just an insight for the future look up how to handle smuts/sharks on google. You will see that holding by the tail alone is very damaging to internal organs.Supporting the fish under the belly and tail gives a very good survival rate when returning. Cheers

[@TheTangledAngler]

Hey, thanks for the comment. I will definitely look into this and apply it with future fishing. I'm very new to fishing so all advice is greatly appreciated

[@janecooke535]

@@TheTangledAngler No problem, I use to do exactly the same until somebody pointed it out to me. Enjoy they are great sporting fish.

[@TheTangledAngler]

@janecooke535 cheers Jane! 🎣

When you get snagged try slackening off rather than tugging madly the fish may swim out

[@TheTangledAngler]

@@user-wl6cx1up9z Thanks, I'll definitely give that a try next time I get taken into a snag!

[@muvvacrusher4137]

Why did you just lob that hound back and walk away? Please be more careful if you catch them again

[@TheTangledAngler]

Thanks for the comment. I am still new to fishing and learning all the time and will be more careful next time. Cheers
