Re: An old Lady caught & released n the South East
Cheers for the comments Lads.
When the weather is against us next year I think she will give us the motivation to get out there and give it a lash
Would be good to hear if she is ever landed again, she had a very distinctive tail with a section missing out of it. Looked like an old scar and would be easy to identify.
