Kriso ill hopefully get a few cracks this month.

Although my entries are not eligible I like to have a crack.

Plans are:

A few river trips with Franco.

A trip with Tugger weather pending.

Maybe a trip with Dom (when i am at Straddy).

Maybe a BucKat List Charter.

So yeah, If I cant get a snapper or 2 from that line up im pretty stuffed!

yeah now that i have saturdays off as well i might have to see if i can twist flexo's arm and chase some more on plastics with my new setup, it handled awesome at the MBC so wanna see how it goes on some larger models.

[ellicat]

Might hit up flexo for a trip out too.

[tacklebox]

that's a cracker wes!

yes I know mine won't win. I'm just entering it so that the organisers and sponsors can gauge the popularity of the competition.

tom/den did you get photos of yours on a bragmat?

Thanks tacklebox.

Thats the idea alright

As I have mentioned before its also cool just to see if the species is being targeted and to what result, regardless of the winning fish.

Thanks again.
