Back in London now - excellent and productive weekend (through little effort on my behalf).... I did however learn my 1st bit of Yorkshire rhyming slang. "It's a bit George Micheal in here"......It took me a while!
I've not met the latest ranger but last year I found the last guy bad tempered. I put it down to it being high season and lots of novice skippers (myself included) around.
Just googled a burbot. I'd never heard of them. It's considered extinct in the UK now according to Wiki. We can always live in hope for more. I'm looking forward having a dangle later in the year and see what I can find.
