Hi Hobble

I was fishing Lene last weekend and when chatting to my boss on Monday he informed me that he was fishing Sheelin with a few mates. They all caught decent fish - good few over 4lb and he said one of his mates in the other boat had a trout over 6 and half. Said it was a belter. He said he had a pic but I havent seen it yet. I return all my fish and I know he returns his so don't know if it was returned.

No work till Monday now so don't know if this is the fish you are referring to or how big the fish you are talking about was?

I certainly would be smiling if I had landed it

He said Sheelin was fishing its nuts off so I'm looking forward to a trip down.

Linda

Hobble , what are you on about please ?? where and when did you hear this and how big is it ment to be then ??

The 6.5 lb fish Linda is talking about is a great fish but I would not put it in the "Giant" category .
