All photos on this page were shared with us by Dave Woodward, who joined us for some fishing in June.
Dave said “Here are the photos I took during our time with Big Blue. We all agreed the trip was as good as it gets. It was especially good for me after being sick last year and having to miss a day. This year was fantastic! I hope you enjoy the photos….. We had the best time possible. You two run a great business and provide a wonderful service.”
