Great SUP Fishing Session...
Sunday, 11 May 2008 10:43
Bill made the call "whos up for some SUP fishing then" - 8.30am on a sunday morning the weary SUP'ers assembled..
Bill with a stack of board and fishing gear, along with Tim, Eric, Clive and Me - after an hour of un tangling fishing line, getting hooks stuck in everything and trying to fix a storage box onto one of the boards we were off....
we have been working on this for a while now, as BSUPA role has evolved we felt the site needed to reflect this. So we have expanded a few areas and trimmed a few others. So we hope you like what you see.
If you have any comment or feedback please contact us via the normal channels and i hope that we meet up soon
