Re: Millisle- 26th December 2009
I'm not sure that the secret of Dan's success is necessarily the venue. I think its probably down to the fact that he puts in more hours fishing than anyone else on the Forum or elsewhere!
Fair play to him.

Re: Millisle- 26th December 2009
to be honest i wouldnt say he puts more hours than most ! but if he did (and im not being smart when i say this ) but i wouldnt want to spend all those hours on the same venue catching and counting a yearly tally of 10,000 pin whiting !

Re: Millisle- 26th December 2009

it would do your head in trying to ID them
