Hi K2.

I believe I may have been speaking to you down in Millisle (and afterwards at D'dee) on Sunday?

Thanks for the advice on giving Millisle a miss - if you haven't ever caught a decent fish there, I don't think there was much chance of me or the bro getting one :)

Cheers....

K2:

What is Millisle like to fish below the car park there? Whenever i come home to my parents I walk the dog on the beach and it looks ok (lets put it this way I wish we had beaches like that in Sussex, would be full of Bass). Would you get Codling and flatties along it? Just asking cause next time i'm over I'm bringing my gear with me :D
