Excellent Performances by the sounds of things.

I heard Ireland was going down hill big time, especially around Enniskillen.

Reading this brings back some more happy memories when I was a spotty youth!

Can't wait for the next installment from Frim!

Hey Skimmer, do you remember chucking me in the Erne behind the Chalets at Killyhevlin? I DO!!

[skimmer]

Yeah, but in Fairness paul i`d run out of plumets at the time, and its worked better than clearasil, ive heard your havin it away at birkdale mate?

[frim]

ay up youth,
we all thought the erne was going down, thats why i bailed out and have fished the portumna festivals for the past 4yrs, but iwas talked into giving it one last chance, and i'me glad i did, i'll give you my opinion why things went tit's up,and why things are now looking better.
1, Fermanagh council spending £4000 each on platforms, spacing them about 12yds apart, thinking we prefer to be comfy catching nothing than wet through and bagging up.
2. Weed cutting so anglers dont lose gear, they always do it late april early may.Spawning fish and been brain dead come to mind!
3. Zebra mussels have made the river gin clear so together with a man made lack of weed cover, the days of tons of fish coming to enniskillen to spawn are long gone, there's no reason for them to leave the upper and lower loch.
After a whinge like that, there are loads of positives, i'm sure the loch's are still solid with roach, bream and hybrids and it has only taken Kevin Lock and a few other ex pats a few weeks to prove it, Kevs opend up new sections on the deeper parts of the lower loch, he's pegged them properly, and the results have been far better than sitting on cornagrade for an eel and a one eyed perch ! anyway next year pack your lass and baby youth off to benidorm and come with us!!!!
sore fingers frim.

[stanfish]

hi skimmer,tony aint got a mobile yet, what chance a pc.stan..

[skimmer]

I kmow stan, they broke the mould after he was born, rumour has it though that he`s getting an outside loo next year, perhaps then he`ll tempt a woman back!!!!

[frim]

He'll have to sort his wig first!
