Kingfisher 126

Thanks all, had lots of surprises, trip to Venice on Monday that I didn't know about until Sunday. A surprise Chinese dinner last night with the family cooked by Chinese chefs at home, really good. Beer and wine involved. 🍷🍺 Had to go to work and that involved cakes so all good. 🍰 🎂 still got one of these to get through, Jim any offers? 😂 Well spoilt and it wasn't a big one, must be doing something right. 👍👍👍😂 Thanks again all.

Kingfisher - Chris W, Mal T, Nigel A. Day TBC, depends on weather and family commitments.

Great result Lofty on a really chilly day. After being around the guys for six hours or so I have to say they must be tuff cookies to sit there in the conditions. Having the heater on all day and being able to tuck out of the wind felt wimpish, as Mal kept pointing out, but someone had to say close to the radio!! 😂😂 Good to see there was a fair few decent fish landed so a great result for the comp. Keep it going as the guys said they enjoy it. 👍👍🎣🎣

No need to as what you will be hitting into Jim, not too much of the beer and cake just because it's your day! Have a good one. 🎂🍺👍

Down Sandbanks last night. Less than ideal conditions and freezing cold.

We’ve had some cracking evenings fishing, you can count Kingfisher in to join the fun. 👍

Well spotted Mick, the percentages are now right for last years specimen sizes. Spur-dogs and Undulate rays specimen sizes have now changed. Cheers Stuie for the spot now updated.

Thanks for the update Martin, perfectly timed as it's the clubs AGM this Thursday evening. Well done to all for their efforts helping others to get over their troubles whatever they may be. Good luck with the training programmes and hopefully the opportunity to get others helping out will give you some of your own personal time back. Well done to all for their continued efforts towards others. 👍👍
