Went along this morning, was ok but nothing really new. Met Smudge at the hotdog stand, recognised him from photos on here. Had a quick talk about one of the old experts on here that used to educate us all to a very high level.

Picked up one of the glowbite micro bait packs which I’ll try out this weekend down at the firth if the weather holds.

Yes indeed, good to finally meet you KAndrew. I got myself one of those Protecta jump start things. I had one years ago but it died a little while back and feel a bit vulnerable without it.

The weather better hold, I'm planning to get over the coast tomorrow.

Yep would have been great to catch up. Long day at the show for us, spent over an hour at Senator going over the neww 550HT have a mate interested and of course it was left to me to do all the ground work for him.
Not sure if we will go next year our trips might become a bi-annual thing.
