at least the wether been good for you roger de dodger, good phot as well

[roger de dodger]

sounds like a smooth hound or maybe a bass both will drop a bait if they feel resistance and both swim fast bass can cover 16 feet per second when chasing sandeel or sprat thats why they slackline anglers so much where you using grip leads ?

Sorry to miss you. I came late just before 9 and saw one to my left and a group to the right so went for the group. I was there with sean and mark when you passed. I hope to be back up in october and nail a few codling.

used a grips and plain but no differense an before wasnt any problems to hook one,think i need to upgrade to size 4-5 hooks on the pennel

hey donagh i should have come down earlier to ye for a chin wag but you know what its like when you start catching very hard to up sticks when you dont know if the others are catchin , i left my phone in the van so couldnt ring boycie 89 to see if it was worth the shift was hoping for a bass to sicken the lads but it didnt show up (as usual)
