Actionboy's tour of duty..

I had a pleasant surprise tonight as my old mate Actionboy rang up from the front line. He’s doing ok in difficult circumstances but is obviously missing his fishing. He did tell me he can still view this blog and the usual sea fishing forums and asked if I could post some pics of fish seeing as he's millions of miles away from proper fishing! Here's some “library” pictures of me and some of our mutual friends..

Here's a rarity, a smile and a proper fish for Karl! A fine bass of 6lb7oz

A pot belly bass of 5lb13oz caught by a pot bellied angler.

If he doesn't watch it he'll get an ASBO, total lack of respect from the leg end.

Rod Stewart with a nice little spotted ray.

Actually he's not smiling, it's wind. A 9lb4oz smut for chuckles.

You're not missing too much mate, the local beaches have been patchy at best. Looking through some of these old pics has given me an appetite, I'll try and get out and catch something worth photographing. Keep your head down mate and we'll see you in the autumn just in time for a big bass and the start of the codling.
