Sounds like it’s going to be a great trip mate.
Can’t wait to read your report when you get back!

Taking the kayak and bream gear with me too, have to give the flats a crack. :banana:

Mazman tagged along for the trip too and we had a great time fishing the flats.
The slidebaiting however ran into some difficulties. the swell was up and my 5oz lead didnt hold bottom enough to slide bait, also had a big f off birds nest, largely due to me being the wrong tool for the job. :rofl:
More practice , will be back!
Ive gotten in touch with Jeremy and hopefully have a more favourable result next time .

At least you gave it a crack mate. It’s always difficult at first learning something new. Practice makes perfect. Better luck next time!
