Re: county kerry Bass and wrasse 13th and 14th oct 09
Hi Al mate
K2 and I got back late last night and although we are both tired we are also very happy as we had a really good time down in Kerry.
We where both really glad you where able to join us for a couple of days and what a couple of days we had!
From start to finish we all had a blast and you looked like you where really having a good time which is great. It was a long old drive for you down on your own and we both are really glad it was worth your while.
Well done again on your PB Wrasse and Bass, not bad going for a couple of day's fishing eh? The look on your face was priceless!!
We both told you we would get you a Bass if you came down and we did
I have never seen anyone move so quick in all my life when your rod fell over form the bite you got from your bass, it was brilliant!
I have a bone to pick with you though over those sneaky ragworm you and K2 where using. Hmmm...............you's both kept them quiet and didn't let on about them until they where all gone, huh! that's friends for ya!
