Hi Dave / Luke,
Thanks for the comments - i will take them onboard during future trips..
Is there any particular attention one needs to pay to PE line as well...?
Dave - I owe you a THB (beer) in Nosy Be - i have booked a trip which will end the day before yours begins, it would be nice to have a fishing chat if you have a bit of spare time that evening..and as i say, if you need any other advise on Mada then ask away..
Cheers,
Marc.
