we might see Matt face in the Sunday Sun, what a cracking festival that was.
Tuna from what i gather never realy went away, they just had their numbers reduced slightly, a few have turned up along the shoreline and have gone for big sums of money, but think they try and keep it quiet, don't want us anglers taking commercials catches do me now.
