Last summer? What year are you talking about - 1995? :P - don't know what I'll do this year but I've spent a lovely time at the seaside back then :lol: :wink:

Well I'm somewhere round the middle of a target of 150 Sessions for 2011, Going to spend the summer searching out a load of Mini species hopefully, later in the year I'll be aiming for a couple of extra ray species... Think I'm pretty much on target for the 50 this year... Fingers crossed.

Get my first ray, bass and tope (shore) hopefully. Get in a few south coast sessions as I've fished north, east and west but not south yet :!: And hit the 30 species mark too.
It ain't easy but it sure is simple!
