TunOFun Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) Top effort Garry, dont you love the days when you stop fishing cause you run out of bait rather then returning to port with 1/2 your bait and the fish just weren't biting. What depth were you fishing in Garry?? Edited February 27, 2006 by TunOFun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
