Re: sat 5th feb co antrim beach. not just tiddlers
Great fishing lads. Well done to jordan on a very fine trout. Would love one of them myself but i don't think any of the marks i fish throw them up and i wouldn't have the foggiest idea of where to start searching for them. Some day hopefully. Nice flounder there aswell. Keep at it al and some of jordans knowledge might rub off on you after a while.
