Is there any chance of catching anything or is it too early in the year?<br /><br />Cheerstommyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362350434330812330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909122554511314338.post-68830851575907909982008-08-25T15:05:00.000+01:002008-08-25T15:05:00.000+01:00Absolutely spot on mate, I am new to sea angling, ...Absolutely spot on mate, I am new to sea angling, live in Dorset and am looking for some good spots to fish along our coastline and this site has given an excellent insight. top marks and good luck with your species target.gookey2709https://www.blogger.com/profile/09581520865091585105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909122554511314338.post-12768295374854344282007-08-20T22:51:00.000+01:002007-08-20T22:51:00.000+01:00Thanks for your comment, give me a PM through the ...Thanks for your comment, give me a PM through the forum or stick a note here nearer the time and I can update you with a recent catch reporthaddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01890864334999930139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909122554511314338.post-75191016116733744152007-08-20T13:36:00.000+01:002007-08-20T13:36:00.000+01:00I would like to compliment you on the content and ...I would like to compliment you on the content and thoroughness of your blog.
