Default First Fish Of 2011

Had my first trip of 2011 today. Myself and The Rook headed down to Alderneuk this morning. Had an absolutely fantastic day as usual and the place was fishing its head off. Gin clear water and the fish fought like hell

It was great to finally cast a line and the craic with The Rook was bang on as usual also thanks to Wilks for the pics

Thanks again to Wilma for keeping us going with Tea and Rolls

Default great start!

I like how you UK boys are so easy to go fishing and look out after each other. In the US its hard to get a good friend to go let alone someone you dont know. I like the idea of these competions and clubs as well. Have a great season guys. Nice brown, hope I start out the year like that!
