Im always willing to help a mate out so I'll give ye 5 grand for your Raider Kev and take it off your hands.... :lol:

Yeah... Yeah... :lol: I might hold on to the boat for another week or two.

It was somthing I ate alright.... The 8 pints the night before :lol: It's all Marco and Fergs Fault.

The Nausia started in the "washing machine" Just couldn't shake it off for the rest of the day. Once we were out on the reefs, the sea conditions were perfect.

Next time your fishing just off the Loop, use a square of sausage, They should have a reel liking for it by now. :roll:
