Super fishing there mate, its great to see somebody doing something a little different. :D I'm really going to have to give this finesse and LRF stuff a go when funds allow. Btw the blog is great, I really enjoyed reading back through it. Keep the reports coming.

mod hat on:

EricH isn't being sarky when he says "Great to see you returned all the flounders". Although ecoastbass doesn't say it in this report, in his blog he says he used a keepnet to keep the fish for a photo, then released them.

Let's not do the C&R Vs C&K thing by mistake here.

mod hat off.

Good fishing there, good blog too.
