Thanks guys! As it stands Sandy..my cousins are master anglers of the region, so I am in good hands. Last time I went, I just showed up, was handed a rod, dressed up in a Guernsey fishing smock, and did fairly well. So hopefully the same will be true on this trip.

The camera will be out my friends! Pics will be posted
