ANTO the next time we go camping leave the kitchen sink behide you his tent was like a 4 star hotel.. while myself and stef had a shack pitched on a hill not good for sleeping...during the night the fish where coming in for myself and anto geeting ray while stef was on the doggies.. put our heads down at about 2am and where back up at it about 4am hoping for some early mackeral.. i was first off the mark with the mack soon after that loads of fresh bait... so the real fishing started we laned ray after ray and stef was still on the doggies.. sorry he got a couple of whiting during the night... about 8.30 the bellies where on empty so me and stef went in search of breakfast,, the little shop in the village was the port off call and the lady of the shop made up a few bacon butties...

Some fine fish there Alan. Anto's conger was a cracker if i hooked into that steff would have laughed his hole off watching me trying to get it in. I'll be down in couple weeks hopefully we can meet up and i'll bring the tent(only a 3 star).
