Thanks guys. I am in New Zealand so managed a fishing trip on the morning of my birthday and plenty of snapper for the table, got back to watch the Wales Ireland match (ouch) and then a bbq to follow. As you will have seen on the news, we have had biblical floods - 160% of the highest rainfall ever recorded, followed by a string of tropical storms and with more forecast. But at least its warm and sunny in between the rainstorms and the fish don’t seem to mind…we’re fishing in 30-60m depth so no effect, and the boat gets a free wash down.
Good luck with the Spring fishing.
Best wishes,
Ian
