Give a man a fire he will be warm for a night,
Set him on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

Id be out to nyt for them again but the tides are very late, and am busy 2moro, DOOOH!!
Tanx Red!! Lmao, ive yet to get the first one Redred wrote:Looks like someones getting a 2nd hoodie. Well done.
But if im lucky enuf to get 2, I shall find a good home for the second one
Tanx SPB, I was starting to think they wouldnt show up at all, usually mid june u would get a burst of them, but all the rain, crap weather and weed killed if off, just delighted they decided to play ball.. The mackerel are v v scarce this year down this way, but when we were fishing the other nyt, around 10yards out up the whole coast were shoals of mullet bubbling on top of the water, never seen them in that number on that beach before, and if tope do dabble in a bit of mullet feeding, id say they were chasing them in, but that remains 2 be seen!!saving private brian wrote:well done on getting your tope lads.they are very slow to come on up here too,,,,must give them ago now with mackerels numbers rising,,,,congrats

Re: MY HUNCH PAYS OFF!!!
To be honest this year it was a hunch, the weather has not been kind, just a matter of getting that window and finding the fish really, winds/weed are a killer!lucky13 wrote:well done sir squiglum!...seems the hunch aint a hunch anymore its a sure thing!...beautiful fishing yet again...very inspirational...lovely stuff...
