i really look forward to Holland as its time away from work kids and the tank commander and every man needs that space once a year at least
;)the group i go with have been together for the last 10 years since the days of Ireland some new faces make appearances from year to year and sometimes the group is up to 14or 15 anglers 
but this year we had come down to the real backbone of the group just eight making the trip 
:-/still hopefully next year things will be better plus it made it easy four in each houselike other years the younger ones normally go in one and the older boys in the other
this year like last i returned to the younger ones
every year we share any money between the house and hopefully like last year we would win enough to pay for next year
the older boys are brilliant mostly feeder men with the odd go on the pole after each match we would go into the town square and have a few pints and just listen to there days fishing and of corse the older storys
this year the weather did get better of us with rain and gales for most of the week.so it looked like the older boys could be on song
the voorne is very straight and catches the wind like nowhere else and as you are on fishing platforms its quiet hair raising hence the reason for not many photo's
this year has been probably the worest yet the week before it was sunny all week with fish coming shallow in one or two areas and i must say normally the weather is good for us just not this year
on arrive we always take alook at who's fishing the canal and this year the dutch could fish our festival so there was lots of dutch on the bank fishing
i thought here we go get afew here on the bomb and feeder
