Well done on the catch, but have you ever noticed that there is a fishing sub-forum within the Smoker's Lounge section called Tight Lines? There's nearly 500 threads devoted to angling, perhaps this would be better off in that section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gb1 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I'm only able to fish fresh water but .. Ya,,,,,.you need a fishing license of some sort,, It's a good read... https://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/licence-permis/index-eng.html Then you gotta know boundaries....Across the mouth of river there is ok but Not over here There are TONS of regs for fresh water. We are very privileges to be able to catch and release. Most places where fresh water is limited.. You catch and keep and go home as you are limited... PS You need a boating license as well to have and use a boat... BUTTTTTT If you come here from another country. .Don't speak .or understand English ..................You can rent a boat and they will GIVE you a boaters license . regulation money grab.. now they want MORE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A smooth hound is not a dogfish, there are two types of smooth hound in British waters, the common, Mustelus mustelus, and the starry, Mustelus asterias. There are also two types of dogfish, (actually cat sharks) the lesser-spotted, Scyliorhinus canicula and the great-spotted, Scyliorhinus stellaris. The lesser-spotted are the species most commonly caught by anglers, the great-spotted is usually know as a bull huss and are much bigger, up to 10kg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bonglington Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Had a 13lb+ Smoothhound off a boat from the Bristol channel a couple of months back...the biggest of the day was 20+. They go like fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
