Hats off or what - be interested to see if and how the angling press report it.
Top marks to Magicalia for having the vision to back the site and invest in the technology.
It's really buzzing now, thanks to Graham's vision and the incredible scope it offers for interacting with like-minded people.
School boys and beginners come to the forums for advice on the basics.

FM is fast establishing itself as the source for news and information about all kinds of fishing.

I've met so many people, learned so much and had so many laughs over the years.
Here's to the next 25,000..........
