People:myself and nige

Duration:4 or 5 hrs

Tide:falling

Weather:summer - winter - summer - winter

Bait:mack, squid, sandeel

Rigs:various

Results: RAY

Report:
there was sun when we got there, then rain, more sun, hail, sun rain, sun hail, sun and hail as we were leaving...

it was good to get out.. havent been out in a few weeks so this was my therapy

nige picked up the first ray and a while later i pulled up what felt like a big flattie, but turnes out to be a small thornie

(see below)

every thing went grand... all but a couple of minor heart attacks and nearly a bust lung from laughing too much (enquiries to be made in the scomber)

Well done lads, nice reward for going out, fair play to yes

. Looks wild out the

west. I think i'd be smiling like Nige if I caught one Stevecrow

. Is that the fjiord

, i was on a cruise there a few yrs ago.

i was getting bored waiting on steve to catch a fish and yes mine was bigger

would have liked to have caught a few more but still happy with the one. thats my sea fishing over for 3 months so steve is now looking for a new fishing partner and he would prefer someone who doesnt catch many fish or fish bigger than his

and one that can keep all 4 wheels going in one direction together (see scomber)

away for a while then nige, good luck buddy, ps does steve new fishing partner need to have special; qualities, ie able to drive and own a car?
