Thank you's

I would like to thank Big Catch Tackle in Chapel St Leonards and also Horncastle Angling Centre. Two great shops, I'm not sponsored so you'll get treated exactly the same as I do when when I visit either- fantastically. I'd also like to thank Neil at Tackle 4U in Skegness, great bloke. Tony at the Angling Times, Thank you. Some fellow anglers now- Local lads Paul, Chris, Gary, thanks guys. Two of my biggest blog champions Craig and Stuart, thank you. My good friend Benidorm Dave. All my friends at SHUK, what a fantastic group of guys, thanks for everything and long may it continue. All my blog readers, I hope I can keep you entertained for a few years to come, thank you for your support. Nearly done! I turned 41 this year so seems right that I thank my original fishing mentor.....

And finally, as ever, Mrs P. X

Happy new year all.

Till next time................
