Just a quick thanks to dave and nigel for their Tuition on boat handling and fishing . Two very experienced blokes and very nice people . come back anytime both of you

[LING_BASHER]

Same for me.Our ways of fishing are so differnet than further south.I can add your tactics and methods to my own in the hope of improving catch reports.

Cheers lads for the tackle as well, will let you know how i get on with it next boat trip(thats if i dont get snagged first rip again lol)

Nice to meet the guys too (although briefly) as it is nice to put a face to someone at the other end of a thread.

Thanks a lot guys, great day out, great company, good craic and a few half decent fish to boot.

Big thanks to Dave Mason for allowing us the freedom of Dolly and his hospitality, wit and demonstration of his filleting skills!!!!!

Thanks to Richy for the hours he spent anchoring us over the wreck, I trust you noticed that once you used that slightly lighter pirk, you didn\'t get stuck (too often).

And a big thanks for the hard work put in by the organisers, too many to mention but you know who you are.

It was great to put faces to names, and in some cases bodies to faces, as it were!!!!! Its amazing how different people look when compared to your perception of them from a small photo used as an avatar

Thanks to all for a great day.

One last note, you\'ll have to get a better chinese closer to Royal Quays!!!!!
