Are you around Stephen's Day - may be heading off to do some real fishing! :wink:

PM if you are around

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...

2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks
