Nice report Alan, well done to the both you. Meghan looks so happy in the photo with her catch and so she should be, she did brilliant. She must take after her 'old man' :mrgreen: where the fishing is concerned. I'm glad the father and daughter bonding fishing session produced good results for you's. The only thing is Alan, now that she has cuaght something she will be pestering you to go again, buy ear plugs or ear defenders I think your gonna need them!! "Dad, can we go out fishing again" and after she has said it about a hundred times you'll have to give in and take her again just to get peace :lol:
