micky 3,325 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 been rooting through some old photos ,i had some good bags here many years ago and as far as i know ,there still getting plenty now , had a few 80s and once had 108 [ferreting ] we used to lamp it every night we could, i wish we had these electric cameras in those days then i could do some bragging, Tomo tells me some lads from Mansfield do it now ,good luck to them if they catch half what me and George topped ,they will have a lifetime of memories.
