Good to see the legend in person :shock: 8) :D

Otherwise it was a crap night really, i just had a tiddler Pollack. Hopefully now i have a rough idea of how to fish the mark, i'll get down more often and get some practice!

Surprised Mr Drew didn't take a video of his Goby catch and release, it rivaled Crows mullet video. :)

It's more of a species hunt Marlin at this venue although some very big wrasse and conger have been caught.

As the bishop said to the actress - 'size isn't everything...'

Whats to get :?: Fishing is fishing,even if its in a puddle.
Bangor has 20+ species of fish available to catch,wrasse 4lb+,congers 20lb+.Congers to 30-40lb have been seen and lost and even over 50lb.
The dangling tactics Drew and Livid were using accounts for more 3lb+ wrasse than "normal" tactics.So basically dont knock it till you`ve tried it! :wink: Without dangling Drew might not have caught two new species last night.

Dangling rules! :D
