Thanks for the replies lads he is over the moon, he keeps rubbing it in my face. i landed a lot of fish but couldn't pull out specimen and to be honest i was the odd one out all the lads who we where camping with had specimens and three of them are off this site so there was plenty of slagging.

hi kev,
tbh we where probably a week to late even though we had a lot of fish and seven specimen between us, a load of mates where down the week before us and they had loads of big fish one lad in particular had seven specimens.
we went down on the 16th to 19th next year it will be a bit earlier depending on the tides of course.

regards
