What a day :z4
Haddo lived up to it's reputation
I had a great time.
Big thanks to Mike for laying it on again, and for the help and thanks to the other guys for the company.
Great day out, thanks.
Hi Dave :z16

It was great to see you enjoying yourself on the water today! It really was a super day to be out there :cool: I must confess to getting a tad nervous when I saw you being towed about by that fish down by the island, I think you can consider your body to have passed the test :z4

The fishing was pretty good too ..... Stuart Smith netting 35+ fish up to around 7 lb, Dave Olley 20 up to 10 lb, Kev Danby 18 up to 4½ lb, Kevin Muir 15 up to 5 lb and Peter McCallum 10 up to 4 lb. The two "maiden voyages" had fun too, Andrew Finlay tempting 9 fish up to 6 lb and Alex Thain 6 up to 4 lb :z15



(below) I think I've possibly discovered Kev's secret .... he uses a second invisible rod :z4


(below) Aye, it was a super day to be out there :cool:














Best wishes
Mike

Looked like a great outing, good day and plentiful troots - well peed off  :cry as I haven't been out in the tube since the last gathering. Next time.

Mike,
Thanks for the opportunity to try out tubing, I must admit was a bit tentative at first but thoroughly enjoyed the day and the company. A friendlier bunch of guys couldn’t be found anywhere else.
Cheers will definitley be up for the next one family depending.
