well you might actually be right about that rory,i dont like to walk too far on these old legs :lol
unfortunatly there was'nt much time for fishing but managed to squeeze in a couple of hours spinning which resulted in 2mack,1seatrout and 1pollock, made a nice change in catching mostly nothing.
happy hols 8)
