Righto boys, holiday’s over, I’ve spent two weeks in Thailand getting oiled up, bent in half, and milked dry like a prize dairy cow. 💦💆‍♂️ Had more “happy endings” than the last chapter of a romance novel, and let’s just say I now know the difference between a lady and a ladyboy the hard way… twice. 🙈🍆🇹🇭 Anyway, the rods were jealous of all the attention, so I’m back home scooping the ocean like a 🌽star on a casting couch – snapper, trevs, the lot. 🐟⚔️ Good to be back where the only things I’m hooking have gills. Cheers Fluffy 🎣
