Re: another blank day
if Al and Jordans reports are anything to go by fishing for coalies when its getting dark seems to be a sure fire way of getting fish.
and the good thing about coalies is if a shoal moves in then they will hit anything put in front of them

Re: another blank day
Welcome to MY world. If you or anyone else needs lessons on blanking,I am the number one expert. 
Maybe we should start a club for blankers Or take up distance casting on dry land. (only joking).

Or take up distance casting on dry land. (only joking). I don't fish to catch fish. I just like using the gear.
If you think I am narky now, you should hear me when I'm in bad humour.
