    Report on-board Hard Labour

    Well June has seen the hounds arrive in force. Catches of 30 plus fish a day are the norm with the average fish size being 6 to 10 lb. So far this year we have had a lot of good double figure fish, lots of 15lbers a fair few in the 16lb bracket, a nice 17lb fish and the biggest of the year so far a cracking 19lb 9oz fish. With july now under way and traditionally our best month for the smoothounds, im expecting great things for the coming month. Usually the numbers of fish landed increases but the average size reduces slightly as the girls pup out. Catches of 70 plus fish in a single tide are not uncommon through july and august.
