stick with it Jock things are a changing,some good casting there,spoke to a few people in clubs up that way they are keen to learn. the weather turned bad up there I just got back myself,at least you got a snapper- I got stranded on a rock and had to swim back to shore. Saw 3 rods and reels get wished in by the surge, some people just have no idea how dangerous fishing on a rock can be.
