I have never seen or heard of a Smouthound being caught north of Whitby,even the trawlers don,t get them this far north.
You do get Spurdog,used to get loads of them from the blast beach in late summer but no bigger than 2 pound.The Salmon and Gill netters used to get bigger Spurs,but that's a rarity now.
As Coddy says,get yourself down to the Holderness coast, or better further south around Skegness in the summer if you want Smuts.
You can also catch them from certain marks in the Solway.
Fresh crab is the number one bait..
