You're very welcome, David. Once I can settle after recent happenings I will report on the flapper rig if there is anything worth mentioning.

Last season, although I started quite late, I had a really excellent period right up until I went to China in May.

This year, for the first time ever, I am going to keep a diary: venue, tide, conditions, bait, successful rig, time fished and fish landed, lost or blanked. I will also be recording the fished caught at the full distance of my cast, and those caught close in. I will be leaning toward a good test of shellfish baits close in.

I am simply curious as to the figures over a season.
