My lad doesn’t go many places without his. We can set up a catty range for the kids to keep them busy ?
-
His first bass from the kayak with a lure. Over the moon.

As long as they are looked after and exercised then I suppose it’s up to folk how many dogs they have. Just don’t go spouting all over social media that you ‘graft’ them every night of the week if you ain’t. 2 runners and a busher do me ok. Busher rarely has a day off injured. My old dogs lamping days are done but he’s still handy daytime bushing and on the hills. Got a 3 year old that’s doing well so that’s enough for me. With work, kids and other hobbies it’s hard to find the time. ? -
My mate fished from the bridging camp but always releases them. He’s had some decent bass from there.
-
Yeah. I never go an further in than the bridge though. Have kayaked in there a few times. Seen some lads fishing about half way down a couple of times
-
If you get a bit of time then try the outlet between Weymouth and Portland. Under the road bridge. Find it better as the tide is ebbing. Few bass in there. The places recommended above are nice places to fish. They will be fairly busy though.

Anyone based West Lancs area

As said, nice looking type that. Before you head out with anyone I’d concentrate more on the training. Get recall spot on and do some retrieve training. Get the dog in with stock. Good luck with it. Keep us updated -
Spot on Sean. Cheers. I’ll get my misses on the case. ?
-
Handy to know that. Have you got the details for him? Cheers
-
What make are they Moorman?
-
Few lads from the Southwest on this thread. Get yourselves to THL fishing comp weekend 20th August. Exeter. It’s a cracking weekend for the kids too?
-
I’ve been using live prawn lately Joe. Been pretty decent. Gives you a bit more time to concentrate on the rattler ?
-
All over mate. Legs, back, neck
-
Was going to fish from the kayaks off Berry head the next couple of weeks. Might give somewhere else a try instead.
-
I warm them up by giving them a rub. Same with cooling down. My vet has a background in greyhound racing so give me a few tips on warming the toes and a few stretches for the legs. I always walk them in to where I lamp. Bit of a leg stretch and find our bearings. Try get a couple of easier runs first. I’ve used greyhound run in the past after a heavy nights lamping or heavy day on the hill. Seems to keep the ticks and fleas away too.

Had an hour or so off Hopes Nose in the kayak the other day. Used to be a great spot but so over fished now. Didn’t get a single one there. Headed round to towards Torquay and had a couple. Seemed to be having more luck with small pollack. I don’t think you can beat fresh mackerel on the BBQ. Like to chuck the dogs a few too.
-
Definitely change happening. I agree with the tuna making a dent in the mackerel numbers. I was kayaking from Plymouth in February and lowered a line in. Ended up with 4 mackerel in one hit. Seasons are changing.
-
There’s a few in but not in big numbers. Not got as far down west as Looe yet. Enjoy the trip
-
Different world up there mate. Only just got back from that area myself. Looks like the kids are enjoying it. Plenty of mackerel about up there and decent pollack.
-
Loads of bait fish around now. Got the lads casting off a rock mark the other night with some lures. Catch and cook. Had a couple of bass and few pollack. Best thing to get the kids going is a mackerel bashing trip
-
Unless it’s a really big litter or you are getting the pick then I’d like to think there wouldn’t be too much to choose from. By the time the breeder and possibly the owner of the stud dog takes one. Then you got hunting mates or people that have been waiting for a pup from that particular breeding. Shouldn’t be much left. I prefer it that way. As long as the pups are healthy and been looked after I’m willing to let the misses and kids choose. Just makes life easier ?

There was a seal sitting on a rock up at Salmon pool the other morning. Crazy how things change
-
I hunt Dartmoor and North Wales. My dogs do fine but I just reckon a hound x type might find a bit better. I’m happy with what I got as I like other types of Lurchers work. I probably hunt the hills a few times a month. If I was on there most days then they would prob be a lot better at what they do.
-
I like being up the hills and letting the dogs range out. Mine have picked it up ok. If the hills were the only hunting I did then I’d go down the route of a couple of hound or GWP crosses. I still like to lamp so I’ll stick with what I got for now. Would like to see more posts up of hound crosses.

Little cracker that ?
