Back again but 1 man down
Another great week with great fish caught and topped with a 49lb 12oz mirror for Adam which give him a new PB.
Weather was very very hot for time of year which made fishing hard but all got great tan. Pascale was great as always you could not ask for any more. Also made new friends and had many late nights and lots of headaches.
