Good to see you getting back out and about Dave :D

Was down in Clonea last Friday having come from ballinagoul pier but decided against it as it was like a hurricane blowing down there :evil: :evil:

good to see you caught something at least - have lost count of the number of blanks I've had off clonea. :evil:

well done to pick anything up off clonea mate especially for this time of year :D
