Welcome back Jimbo.

I'm always seeing your Facebook posts/stories/whatever but nice to see you back here.

I just had a little dig around in my photos folder and found this pic from one of our Sandhurst socials...



We nicknamed him Swan Vestas. He took a liking to you (and your bait)

Thank you Karlos!

yeah the photography has taken over my life tbh but keen to wet a line in the New Year mate.
I hope life is good for you.


Hahah the only thing that ate my bait that weekend but great memories.
Lets hope he is still annoying other anglers at Sandhurst!
What year was that ?!

We had socials there in 2003 and 2004 - 'Eliminators' I think we labelled them!

For those who weren't around back then - these were socials/friendly matches where the 2 winners that weekend got their entry into the BCAC paid.
Jimbo and Neil Hubber came first or second in their Eliminators and went on to set the BCAC match record fishing at Thorpe Lea. Sleepless session that one from what I heard mate - for you, Neil and the steward doing the weights!
