If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.

Nice fish Colin. Glad to see you are fishing every day on your own now that the boss is on holiday. Overheard a couple speculating as to which "secret" mark you are currently fishing. No names,no pack drill.

Even with alot of guess work it'll be a hard mark to get as you have to cross private property to get to it (the farmer doesn't take kindly to people plodding across his field without permission) , that or a brave walk around the shore :lol:

Its a pity alright Ronald.The farmer was dead on with Davy and I, politely asking us if we could find another way.Understandable after he was telling us about his crop getting ruined and stolen.
Major plod in waders :cry:

Looks like it had half that loaf in it Colin,I am really jealous of your angling prowess and skills in continuing to extract fish of that calibre/stamp from ever changing "secret" marks. That must be the best mullet I have ever seen on this site,keep up the good work.

I think someone is jealous of your recent success Colin at least you don't need a course in photography to produce good pics. PS. U2 was a US SPY plane so this must tell you something. :lol:
