Alan mate
Well what can I say the ray is a cracker love the last pic good presentation of some fish..... Aws the ray caught on the rise or on the drop?? Yea dont think I will be down that way for a while either.
Glad you had a great nite fishing and a couple of beers before hand.... Did you stay on the bandstand all nite.... Guess the freezer is full now for the next few days. How many cod did you get, was there as much weed as what was there on Saturday..
Will buz you during the week and see if we can head out. By the way I cant make Saturday M8
