Re: the coombe
Hard luck on the blank lads

Re: the coombe
Good things come to those who wait 

The finest gift you can give a fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"

Re: the coombe
Fished the Saturday evening (27/10/2012) over a four hour period (1 hour up and 3 down) 7 x schoolies averaging 2.lb all returned plus an odd dog and flats.
Neap tide and a flat calm sea didn't help, lug is your only man here.
