Long range peeler crab tactics lures big smoothie
St Athan, Glamorgan angler John Austin has reason to smile - this 16lb plus smoothhound is a new personal best!
It was caught from Aberthaw beach, South Wales when John used his Century Kompressor rod to send a peeler crab bait bound to a pulley Pennell rig over 100 yards from the shore.
He had another fish of 9lb during the same session along with a few codling.
