elmoputney Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Bunker on the spit up the road, could say its muddy 😁 Been an enjoyable afternoon, managed to leave my back door keys in my pocket so had to go home again , but that may be a blessing in disguise as I've moved in next to someone who caught 3 so hopefully I can get one nice fish to 😁 Still messing about but there is a chance and I'm looking forward to the night ahead 👍 finchey, yonny, B B and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
