I’ve just finished watching this [Advanced video] – thank you. Was some good information and helping to build some more pieces to this whole game fishing puzzle for me!

I have been using Sam’s fishing maps since the beginning and have suggested ideas from a fishers point of view which Sam has taken on board. I feel this has improved the ability for the user to find the fish. Sam has always been more than keen to help in any way. Keep up the great work, we’ll done. We’ll worth the investment.
