Obviously after catching the bass last night I had to go back to the same spot, I got to the mark about an hour after low tide just to see what I was actually fishing into. About 2 hours into the session I could see my rod nodding but I thought it was the wind, but while reeling in to check the bait it was real heavy like a big clump of seaweed, turns out it was 2 dogfish on the one pulley rig, one on the main hook and the other on the pennel. About an hour before high tide the rod doubled over and I was onto a good sized smooth hound, it put up a decent fight, a few times it actually swam towards me and I thought it had got off but luckily I got it in, 83cm my new shore PB and another species for the hunt!
