nice catch.. pity about the weather though.. i kinda had sense to stay indoors today, even though i was itching to get out, the thought of getting rained on for a few hours wasn't too appealing..
think i'm becoming one of those fine weather fishermen will have to rectify that soon..

nice 1 mand looks like u had a good session, brave the weather and u get results.lol

well done cous nice fish good size fair play in that weather

nice one alan fine thornies there

Well done Alan, lovely rays there. It would take abit more than bad weather to put you off your fishing although if the last picture is anything to go by it does look like it was a really fierce night down there last night. I hope you had a waterproof camera with you
Well done you for sticking at it and not giving up until you got what you went for, that's dedication for ya and you can't accuse you off not being that when it comes to fishing

well done alan,nice rays,at least no one on the site can call you a fair weather fisherman now,I have been out in similar weather and found the fishing to be good

thanks steve.....
