was good to get out fishing again as been a while. we was all useing 2 rods a piece on what seemed to be a cold windy night was quite supprised as when we started there was very little wind! i was useing a running ledger and a 1up 1down flapper unsure what rigs the other chaps had on. fishwise cols boss has a nice 3lb codling and 1 or 2 smaller fish unsure if they where small bass or pout? col had 5, again bass pout and what we think to belive was a small dogfish!!! col was pleased as punch as another off the target species list, well that was untill his tripod blew over and damaged one of his eyes on his rod! {i felt ur pain col } i ended up with 4pout and 2 bass fishfingers still atleast dident blank....
anyway was good to get out and guess col will put a pic on bit later of his fish. ps thx for the lift col untill next time......

Well done chaps!
Colin I know how you feel mate, my last trip out my rod was resting up against the car as I got ready and it blew over thus smashing one of my rod rings. What made things worse was I had only recently replaced one of the rods (just before Cristmas due to the Tripod blowing over).  |
