Cheers Steve
was that off the beach?

Yes, that was from the Stokes end of Browndown Bay, near Lee-On-Solent.

if so what sort of snood length ?

About 3-4 feet from the swivel to the hook.

how far out?

100 yards or so, possibly a little further. I don't know whether that
was really necessary, I was fishing another rod close in but that was
fishing smaller baits. I was getting bites further out so I stuck with
it.

P.S. well done on the smoothie, its nice to catch a different species
as i well know, i got my first dogfish off Bognor pier last night-well
pleased.

Well done! It's always nice to add a new one to the list.
