[welsh wizzard]

yup i think a good day was had by all. no pics of the coral that fought real hard due to kiwi threatening to give us all a good shoeing if they were posted mikes got a few though

[Old Smoothound]

Thanks for organising it all Kev.

I had a great day out lots of banter....the less said about Kiwi's forray into Coral Geology the better
Met Lazyhooker and WelshWizard so more forum peeps to chat with.

Shame about the weather which put off getting to the target species of Smoothounds....

No Blondesthis time ....as had to settle for Brunettes!! (Thornbacks) Sadly TommyA didn't catch another elusive Cuckoo Ray!

Thanks to Mike and Danny for looking after our safety and trying their hardest to find the fish.

Yep thanks for organisation Kev - good to meet you and a few new faces - it was a right good laugh all day even if a bit on the choppy side at times ! Look forward to the next meeting in Alderney in a few weeks ...................Oh and forgot to say that Mike & Danny always make you feel so welcome and are willing to help - top blokes.

[Charter Skipper]

Was good to see some familier faces and meet some new ones too,shame the weather gods decided to be grumpy ,but an enjyable day all the same ..

Well done all, looks like a great day was had by all as usual.

[Twiddler]

Sounds like all had a great time and some great fish caught too....... but are you sure it's a cod and not a shad he was using?

[John Marshall]

I cam imagine the banter, well done to all of you.
