You were very welcome and Norman and I are really pleased you could make it down. I am so pleased you got your Bass. I know you wanted to catch one more than anything else.
As for the rag worm..................I still haven't forgiven you and K2 for that, very, very sneaky!!
Take care mate and speak to you soon.
Thanks Danny, how's things with you? Are the lures and plastics still getting a bashing from ya or is the weather not good enough now for thatDanny M. wrote:Excellent.:

Hi Noel mate
It was a pleasure to get Al his first Bass of the year, we promised him we would do our best if he came down and we were determined not to let him down. Thankfully we didn't.
See ya later.......
