As a Fylde Coast newbie myself (and novice sea angler) thats good to hear Topwater.

I was led to believe you need crab to target smoothounds, and whilst I am still in the "catch anything" mindset for now, I am keen to try and catch some better specimens - smoothes, rays etc. Fishing one rod with a bigger bait is my plan, and if I have a chance with squid/mackerel/bluey or any combination with or without lug, then that's a result!!
