Guided the Patersons from Australia again today and had another great day with 18 hookups which included one on the evening rise. James wants me to note that he did outfish his father today, 17 to 2, but Bill wants to say it was all down to him giving James the good spots - who do you believe? The photo here is of James’ best one landed today at 4 and 1/4 pounds.
