Cheers buddy, I always look forward to the hounds arriving as they are amazing sport and I’m lucky to live where they have a habit of getting pretty big by UK standards.
Mark , man I absolutely love your videos. I have learned a ton especially on your rig vids. Though I'm from the US , if I ever get the chance to get over there on your side of the pond I would absolutely love to sit in on a session with you. keep up the great work ! Your definitely an OG in the fishing game without question !
@@mman9306 you are very welcome and thank you for the kind words. If we all shared our best everyone would gain experience faster and then pass on what they have learned. I fear we have missed a couple of generations that knew so much but were hindered in passing it on. Outdoor skills and the link to nature is an amazing thing that many miss out on. I would love to hear more about your area and the fishing differences between there and here. 🎣👍🏻
Cracking session Mark, conditions looked really still and the mighty rag come through with no fancy cocktails required! Congratulations on the shore PB too, gives us all some hope of big fish from the shore.
It doesn’t have to be fancy but it does take more than one visit sometimes. I’ll be doing another hound video soon right back to basics and using hard back crab which is possibly one of the easiest baits to collect. 🦈🎣👍🏻
Lovely hounds Mark , I've had a couple of Hounds around the 8 lb mark but no double figures yet, another great watch, keep it reel , look forward to ya next adventure.
Cheers Rick, nice to hear from you. The Solent does seem to hold a good population of hounds that are of a decent size. The British shore record came from the Meon area. I must admit that lighting was an issue on this session which I am trying to sort out. Take care. 🦈🎣👍🏻
Eazy mark you ok pal, nice one for the footage again. Well done on your new p.b. it is still flounders n sole for me of the last loads of sessions. I seem to he the flatfish magnet since February I don't no what's happening lol. All the best from G.Y
My apologies Steve, a month without uploading feels like a long time. I fished this mark 2 days previously and couldn’t get past the weed, persistence paid off. 🦈🎣👍🏻
Well done mate on the pb lovely session like you work etc has kept me of the beach managed a nice bream 2 weeks ago, i am down your way middle of july if you want to meet up aiming to get a couple sessions in while down there great video mate tight lines
Drop me a message the week before you visit this way and I’ll see what I can do with work. Hoping for some settled weather and for this wind to do one.
For clean ground I prefer the fathom SD 12’s and I’ve gone down in line diameter to ASSO ultra-cast 14lb. When I do use the CS’s I have them loaded up with 20lb mainline but not as often. I did take them to Norway where they worked really well.
Hi Mark, Nice fish, well done.. Which mark mate? I fished Hill Head last Wednesday, 2 x doubles 12 & 13 ib, in 3 hours, on spider peelers, best nights fishing of my life !
Hill head and Meon are fishing well, Hamble less so. Spider peeler is a killer bait as they are inshore and moulting atm. This session was Park Shore as Meon was packed wall to wall with anglers. I believe there was an 18lb caught recently in the area. 😉
Great session Mark, nice hound!

Great video mate just found your channel new subscriber from Australia
Hi and welcome,
From my time working in Australia I never got the chance to go fishing there. I do feel like I missed out on an amazing opportunity. 🎣

Class session ..great viewing well done pal 👍
@@multirickus thank you. Very much appreciated.
Well done Mark, a few lovely fish and a PB 🦈🦈👍
Always nice to get a PB but also just as good to hit your target. The running paternoster worked well when the weed was running. 🎣👍🏻
Great video Mark and also great to meet you at lymington looking forward to more of your vids
Difficult filming this one purely because of the light. The best part is always meeting new people with similar interests, glad you enjoyed it. 🦈🎣👍🏻
Great session Mark and congratulations on the pb. Still enjoying the rods mate.
Thank you, love the way the rods interact. Show the smallest of bites but handle big fish.
Nice one Mark. Definitely going to give the running pat a try!
When distance isn’t important and the tide is running loaded with weed, it does seem to work. At HW slack the pulleys had the edge.
Well done Mark. Glad u got a pb. Hoping to catch a few in the next few days in Norfolk
Cheers Paul. Are you due a trip to Wales for the Tope any time soon?
Not really thought about it Mark. Its finding the time due to work.
Good to see a nice smoothy I had one about the same size when I saw you there the other night in that spot 👍
I had to go back and have another go as I didn’t do so well the night I saw you. That spot does seem to hold fish. 🦈🎣👍🏻
Don't blame you I couldn't make it back so going to wait till the tides get better. It is a good little spot gets them coming in and out 🎣🐟
Well done on the shore pb hound that mark produces bigger hounds
That is why I fish there. 😉🦈🎣👍🏻
Missed your vids buddy, well done on the Pb 🎉
My apologies Steve, a month without uploading feels like a long time. I fished this mark 2 days previously and couldn’t get past the weed, persistence paid off. 🦈🎣👍🏻
Beautiful hounds. Congratulations 🐳🐳🐳👍👍👍
Thank you Chris, these were particularly feisty and fighting fit. 🦈🎣👍🏻

Will do mate does make it hard when it is howling up or along the beach weather is settled during work hours and picks up when you are off nightmare
Well done Mark on the pb mate
There are bigger out there but you have to put the time in. Any size they always give a good account of themselves.
Way to go bud nice fishing 🎣
Cheers Dave, it’s been a bit slow recently but I have been absorbed chasing a specific type of fish. 🦈🎣👍🏻
It locked out 12lb-8oz well done.
I’ll have to put a new set of scales on my Christmas list.
new subscriber!!
Tip top
Is this down Lepe ? Had a few there before and decent rays.
This was the Beulieu estate at Park Shore.
Not using you're Casting Specials Mark?

Hi Mark
Hope your ok mate , not seen a post lately

Al

@@jamessibley6040 yes it was.
Hi Mark, Nice fish, well done..
Which mark mate?

Also @paulapaula2011 congratulations on a top session. I bet those reels were screaming and rod tips bouncing. 🦈🎣👍🏻
Where are you?
South coast central
Hounds on rag!! Wow I've had hounds on squid and crab obviously and blacks but never on rag well done you
I’ve had the most hounds on chunks of squid closely followed by hard back crab. Ragworm was edging my bets but paid off. 🦈🎣👍🏻
