If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.

i take it you were trying the sea side of the road? those bloody swans are a real pain in the neck :x there are some massive fish along there but its so hard to fish it properly cos of the bread nickers :cry:
i prefered the lagoon side as the swans dont bother you there.
wouldn`t mind a run down there this year but cant see it happening :cry:
