I was browsing around a few of the blogs I link to looking to catch up on the authors escapades and drooling or sympathising as I read. One thing that caught my eye on the IOW blog Waiting for a Bite was the list of species caught by the author each year. Now I already record this on the main forum I use as part of the annual species hunt we operate. But, I thought, I could record that on my blog with a bit more detail. This is primarily for my own recording purpose and not to wave any flags about any supposed prowess. I mean let’s be truthful here, some of my PB’s would be classified as bait by some anglers.
