Kev Hewitt has been on a roll recently, an enforced lay off from work meant more time fishing and as usual, Kev put it too good use on Linch Hill and Linear, bagging some cracking carp. This story also has a happy ending, the shop got a new owner and Kev got his old job back 🙂 Unfortunately early on in October I was made redundant and lost my job. Luckily […]
