Well I am driving down to Essex on Friday to go out on a charter Tope fishing on Saturday, we are promised some good sport as the captain is best in the business, I will put a full report up on my return ;D As long as my bad back holds up  , cheers Stingray for the walking stick  |

Hey Woody, it's no joke having a bad back, dam frustrating, as it just immobilizes you  . A couple of years back, I hurt mine trying to lift a freezer up the stairs (don't ask why long story  ), but I couldn't walk, got really bad sciatica and remember Deano having to push me around the B & Q once in a wheelchair!!  Hope you get better soon  |

Cheers Pipa, I am keeping up with the drugs and they seem to be keeping me moving around which is a bonus, I will be fit to fishing at the weekend, just hope a big Tope pulls my string ;D

Dont worry tootall, I will get plenty of snaps, the captain told us that the run is in full swing with many boats landing 5-20 fish to 45lb, but I already have a pb Mako Shark of 45lb so something bigger would be nice, just dont think my back would agree ;D |

, cheers Stingray for the walking stick 
. A couple of years back, I hurt mine trying to lift a freezer up the stairs (don't ask why long story 
), but I couldn't walk, got really bad sciatica and remember Deano having to push me around the B & Q once in a wheelchair!! 
, however the backup plan was to do some skate, smoothhound fishing instead. I ended up with 6 new pbs and loads of fish and as you can see from the pictures the weather was amazing
