Excellent stuff pete. Couple of questions spring to mind, seeing your photomontage:

What did you estimate it's weight at? :?:

Wft is that big round brown tank for on your boat? :?

You weren't seriously targetting that kind of fish on that tackle setup, shurely? :lol:

Tope are being caught now in the Swilly, by the way.

Excellent Fishing Pete, and great sportsmanship.

Cheers Colin :lol: ,

She was in spanking nick Colin when I tooke her off your hands. I havent done too much to her at all apart from fitting a GPS/FF/Plotter combi unit, a Fixed set VHF and an auxiliary engine. That and the name change. Lovely wee boat Colin, the more I use her the more I like her.
