big Neil Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Lovely report Basil. Great to see happy faces and stacks of catches being the order of the day. I should have gone to Tassie in November but got ill and had to cancel out. Still on the list. It's a lovely place and the fishing is varied and usually excellent. Cheers, bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfish Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 That’s great, so good to see the nieces so excited about going for a fish and by the look of it they weren’t disappointed. I bet everyone was tired that night. Great catch of Squid and that’s a Stonker of a Blue-Throat Wrasse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
