Jon Stevens landed a fine brace of double figure smoothound fishing a North Devon mark over the recent big spring tides the best hound scaling 11lb 2oz.
Combe Martin SAC Member Shane Hookway fished a North Devon Rock mark to tempt this smoothound of 9lb 7oz.
Combe Martin SAC member Ross Stanway set his alarm for the early hours of 2021 and embraced the icy conditions to get his angling year underway. Fishing from a local rock mark spurdog, bull huss, conger or cod were the expected catch. The first fish to rattle the rod was small conger of around 6lb. Then Ross hooked into a good fish that fought hard and swam deep in the water. Ross was hopeful that he had hooked a rare double figure cod. To his surprise the culprit was a specimen smoothound scaling 12lb 9.5oz a fish more often associated with the spring, summer and autumn!
