u should have won mate. i was fishing with my brother in law on the ledge beneath u. sorry if this messed up a peg for ur comp. shame that most of the pollock and wrasse were small coz the place can produce good fish. still we had 3 keepers between us which hit the smoker. by the way if u remember the pollock i caught with the fat belly it was because it had consumed a whole wrasse, whole squid and a big strip of mackerel before it took my ragworm, greedy bugger!!
