Yeah, top class day out. Thanks again for having me along.
finally made it back to London and internet access, so here's my highlights of the day:
Deffo that monkfish. Tiny wee tail, massive head and mouth. Class catch, and nice to see it swim away when released. Can't wait to see it again when it's put on a bit of weight. Say, 50 or 60 pounds!
Another highlight was that wee Fermanagh lad, he could only have been 9 or 10 if that, slagging off a boatload of armagh supporters as he scampered accross The Cricket to his own boat. Nervy wee bugger, I thought!
Your mate beside you (Was it Paul?) played a blinder. Outfished the entire boat and had some lovely sport.
Getting to play with the net so much. I don't usually get to do this, but with nobody aboard knowing my "net one, knock 2 off" rep, it was a blast!
And that take that I had that snapped me clean off. I'd really love to know what that was. The clutch was set right, good leader knot, and BANG! a monstrous bite and then nothing. Gawd knows.
Top day out. Cheers again, see ya next time!
