    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    We had another cracking day on the hard fighting Smoothounds today Tuesday (17th/5/16) .

    With the sun beating down on us and not another boat in sight, we set off to try to not only get big hounds, but Tope in the mix.

    Well we got to the mark just at high water, so we got rigged for both species.... and after about 15 minutes the tide just started trickling out, and as the anchor rope tightened the first hound hit a rod, sending it into a frenzy and the first fish was on, this was a decent fish of around 7 lbs, then Paul Nichols responded with a real rod bending, reel screaming, take....well Paul is a seasoned angler, and he was his cool self, and just let the fish tire itself out, until she came to the net then it was game over... the fish was on the deck..!! after photos and weighing the fish it was released as was every fish boated today, great angler, great guys we always look forward to seeing Paul and the crew.

    Sadly the two rods fishing for Tope, didn't get a single run... but hey ..!! that's fishing...

    I will post a photo of Paul's 17 lbs fish......enjoy..

    Tight lines.....!!
