green lurchers 16,628 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) What you’s up for getting in this year ? Different species , weights , trip abroad ? For me i need a fly caught bull redfish in my fish life like the one in this pic , they are a mighty impressive fish I’ve seen em in singles groups into double figures I’ve cast to a few but no joy so here’s hoping , good luck to whatever is on you fish list in 2018 Edited January 26, 2018 by green lurchers 5 Quote Link to post

As for eating I think they good going Edited January 26, 2018 by green lurchers 2 Quote Link to post
