No worries Phil I'm sure we will meet on the pier in the morning. Smith has a broken foot so don't know if he is fishing yet, Fri nite would have been good chance to give him a good slaggin

Pete:

It will be mainly pollock Donal. Wrasse too. Ling and odd cod. Depends on the weather as usual, if its decent there might be bit more variety.
