I spent more time talking and having the craic with a few lads I met then watching the rods,I enjoyed the day when ever you want to try the mark let me know and we will try arrange some thing

if some of the other fish were as plentiful as the thornies I would be a lot happier ,the tag is one I put on,the cfb sent me a kit for tagging the same as what they use for tagging fish on the charter boats,the tagging program has been running for about 40 years now

nice one on the thornies gerry,and the tagging,hope they extend that scheme next year.
