Bexhill Smoothhound Fishing 2026: The 1AM Double Hook-Up!

After hearing reports that smoothhounds were finally showing up along the Sussex coast, I headed down for a Bexhill beach fishing session at 1 am to see if the rumors were true. What started as a quiet night quickly turned into chaos. A dogfish got me off the mark, followed by a surprise pouting, before the smoothhounds finally arrived for the 2026 season. Then things really got interesting when both rods went at once in the middle of the night—a total 1 am double hook-up battle! If you enjoy UK sea fishing, beach fishing, and real beginner fishing adventures from the Sussex coast, this one is for you. 🎣 In this video: 00:00 – Double hook-up chaos! 00:15 – Why I’m fishing Bexhill at 1am 00:44 – First bite of the session 01:14 – Surprise pouting 01:44 – Smoothhound bite 02:28 – First smoothhound landed 04:03 – Everything kicks off (The Double Hook-up!) 06:46 – Session wrap-up & 2026 outlook 📍 Location: Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex 🎣 Target Species: Smoothhound 📦 Fishing Gear & Tackle I Use: 👉 https://amzn.to/3PaVbGm What's your Personal Best Smoothhound?
