we are aiming for around christmas time to get ourselves back on track and into our fishing in ernest again. so leave some of those east coast smoothies for us to catch next year as we have our sights firmly on them





thanks dave. we missed our east coast and west coast adventures something shocking this year. but there is gonna be some serious fishing done in 2014 from us and another trip to norway on the cardseyesreilly wrote:What a way to make a comebackThe Gods certainly smiled on you both last weekend ,,and deservedly so after the past year you had.

thanks frank, if things get sorted on the home front we plan on doing a bit of fishing over the winter months down your neck of the woods. would you fancy tieing in for a session or 2?RockHunter wrote:I am very sorry to hear about your father.
