Doesn't seem to bode well for the future if I am reading this correctly.

Yep, makes depressing reading.

Thanks Dave - pretty grim reading.

[ChrisE]

Yep, makes depressing reading.

I meant to add, from memory I recollect that bass don't have good spawning years if we have a cold winter/spring and 2010/11 was fairly chilly.  Are we right to be depressed or is it simply rubbish weather to blame?  If so, not expecting much from the 2013 cohort.  Oh dear, I'm depressed again

[gaffa]

I'm also really depressed

 

I wonder if Is it worth keeping the boat and paying the  ongoing repair and berthing costs ...big bill to come :wacko:
