My first time shore fishing in over 5 years and my first fish is also a first for me as the rod was nearly pulled out of the rest and bent double i picked it up and set the hook into a stunning 10lb smooth hound, beautiful fish
Caught on a rising tide using a 2/0-6/0 pennell livebait rig about 30ft out. The 2/0 was baited with a strip of Bluey, which was taken by a 9" Whiting, which was in turn taken, along with the 6/0, by the Bass.
