True, but I need my beauty sleep more than most :shock
Title: Re: Float Tube Gathering (Sunday September 23rd )
Post by: Mike Barrio on 22/09/2007 at 00:28: Currently looking like about 6 maybe 7 tubes for Sunday ........ plus yours truly :cool:

Will be a grand day out at that ........ but room for more flipping "last minute" anglers if they wish :wink

Now it could possibly be just a tad funny :shock We have never ( to the best of my knowledge ) had double figure blues at Haddo and there were two caught and weighed with angler's scales today in excess of 11 lbs! :z5

What would that be like in a tube? :z7

Best wishes
Mike

PS: Noooo, they haven't just been stocked, these fish looked like last years or older .... with tails like flippers!
