apparently those with lots of thorns on the underside are resident fish...never take much notice.

Great stuff Gearoid,

This kinda proves you right about the amount of rain going into the estuary not effecting the fishing too much... got the bigger engine Dude,

25 HP Johnson so now i have no worrys about the tide's around there... Just need a few small bits to fix the cables to the motor and we will be off :D :D :D
