Sorry I didn't get back to you shorty! Been offline for ages! Went down mumbles slipway and fished for a few hours the other week. Blanked and lost a few traces and weights crying

Still, nice day and got a tan! Suppose I should have tried it at dusk or dawn as it was pretty bright when I went down...
