Not sure if many of you have seen this or know but I have set myself a challenge for 2011 by trying to get as many species as possible. Thats mainly thanks to this forum for setting up the 2010 species hunt which I loved doing. Every trip I do will revolve around getting that 'next' species irrelevant to what other fishing I could be doing. The first January report is written up here: www.planetseafishing.com/features/read/alderney-half-century-mission |
