Haha to quote Nick - it can happen at any time ... even when you are taking a break having a smoke!

[Trevor Skinner]

Alex,

You flatter me.

It was PE4 and a 70MH by the way and I'm sure it was considerably less than 30 minutes.

Charles, that picture of Alex with a smoke was a classic and sort of typical of the week.

Matt, if you ever want to do a short few days smash and grab down there and Nick can fit it in let me know and we can share the boat and the driving.

Regards,


Trevor

[Alex Jordan]

Thanks Sami!

[Nick Bowles]

Hi Alex, Was an awesome trip and really enjoyed fishing with you finally after the years of comms over email, forums and PMs. Hopefully will be the first of many trips. Was great dynamics on the trips with everyone and the type of trips I love as there is good fishing but also a great experience. Planning for the next trip is already almost completed, will give you a shout once I have caught up with everything in Dubai.

Cheers,
Nick

Awesome! thanks Nick - you do realise that I am ruined ... the trip has become a turning point in what I would call my fishing "career" dang!!! roll on 2013!
