8) nice one, I quite like these impromptu sessions, they can often throw up a surprise result. Hope your camera survived the last trip without water damage, if you need one, I have one in spare, just in case :wink:

Well done everyone, it sounds like a good time was had by all. Good weather & catching fish - heaven 8)
Well done Noel on getting your seatrout, I'm still after my first one of the year, hopefully I'll get one soon.
Jason - well done on not digging any lug and getting the rest of them to get some.I hate digging for worms! :evil: It's a horrible job but they are a great bait so it has to be done I guess if you want to maximise your chances of catching something.
