Carpbell_ll Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 20 hours ago, emmcee said: Once the carp started spawning last year I sea fished until late September and loved it. I'll be doing the same this year. I'm an hour and 15mins to my nearest coast but worth the drive. Had quite a few different species last year and got a massive buzz out of catching every one. And not afraid to say I had a big a buzz catching a new species, some only the size of my hand as I do when catching a 30lb carp. Certainly gave me food for thought. I'm after a double figure smooth hound this year. Meant to be absolute rockets once hooked. I was fishing off Staithes harbour last summer mainly small rock fish coming out, did have something big on though, a seal taking a fish off the hook great big gray thing broke the water behind my rig as i reeled in. Was hoping for a smooth hound myself, Skegness is said to be a good spot for smoothhound fishing, ex carp angler i was talking to says they take off up and down the beach, Skeggy would be nearest to me but that is still a three hour drive.

Oh you are a long drive to the coast. I had a few small smooth hounds , probably a pound or 2 at most. I did have a 9lb undulate ray last summer. Absolutely cracking creature. Wouldn't mind a few more of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Dannygooner said: I see a Matt Hayes carp programme the other day and he had bright red line 🤔. Why? The first color that disappears as light (sunnier the better) penetrates water is red which explains why red line is so effective. Red line disappears at 5 to 30 feet of water. To make more effect a clear flourocaban leader (new fox) would be ideal. Edited May 20, 2019 by Highy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably depending on colour / clarity of the lake...muddy/silty lakes go for camo or darker colours...clearer waters go for clear or lighter colours... Or peoples preference to the company/manufacturers what they have faith in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I THINK that people don't use red line for fear of being laughed at ? , therefore there's not a big market for a red line so companies don't sell it . Probably . 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
