Enjoyed the day andrew got 155 with the brighton, peter filled the spool up with .31 and it done the trick.
Well done to kyle on beating his pb twice in one day

[purglaspete]

Hello Paul how is yore neck today ,yep it was a good day its still sunny and dry over here but a lot more windier than yesterday in fact I might even go for a cast tomorrow after the ferry has gone .

[fishfinder]

Necks still red peter
Im just about to go to work 12hr nights so enjoy your session mate.
Will have a new pb at the next one with a little practice hopefully

[purglaspete]

that wind has brought the clouds and its lashing it down now ,mindyou I dont need to water the lawn now so I,m still on a winner

[fishfinder]

Wouldn\'t like to try getting out that field in the wet peter was hard enough after a days sunshine
Will obtain some strong rope and shackles from work in case anyone decides to gets muddy in future
There again I had a look on the jersey angling site and theres a canny device made with a bit pole and bungee rope that could possibly cast the cars out the field :P

[tack4]

aye and some numptymade one


oh yeah that would be me

[fishfinder]

I must admit andrew I was almost tempted,dunno what the uk record is for fiesta casting tho.

[keegy]

think the heavier model the 1.7, 16v is 190meters, or is that the focus.

[purglaspete]

is that the correct spelling or should it be fu#us cos thats what it did to me pushing it the first time

[keegy]

is it not push pull pete, think thats what you told me.???.
