A great big MERRY CHRISTMAS to everybody I\u2019ve met and fished with and everybody who has supported me this year! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a few days ago I reached a magical 22,222 subscribers on my YouTube Channel! The Members area I launched earlier this year has also surpassed my expectations, so thanks to each and every one of you for your support! (And it\u2019s only \u00a32.99 a month to join if you haven\u2019t already!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I popped a Christmas Special up yesterday, which has already hit 10,000 views with loads of nice comments. I have just finished editing a really nice Members video, too. I\u2019m still debating whether to pop it up on Xmas Day or Boxing Day? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That brings me to my one big regret this year, as I struggle to respond to everyone as promptly as I\u2019d like to. It\u2019s great to get so many messages but I could spend two days a week just answering them all and it\u2019s a bit overwhelming at times! It\u2019s all very much appreciated though and nice comments really do make it all worthwhile. Just bear with me please! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I must also give a massive virtual hug to anyone who has given me a Super Thanks. These people know who they are and I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart that I\u2019m constantly surprised and touched to receive such generosity. I really do mean that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To everyone I\u2019ve coached this year it\u2019s also been an absolute pleasure. So many people keep in touch and let me know how they\u2019re doing and that means a lot, too. I daren\u2019t mention next year too much, as one look at my diary gives me an instant headache! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matrix and Sonubaits have also been absolutely brilliant for me this year. I just need to get Cadburys on board and I\u2019ll be a very happy fisherman! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would be lying if I said it\u2019s been an easy year in many ways, but it\u2019s ended very nicely. My very understanding wife, daughter, mum, dad and mother in law are all here at the moment and I know we\u2019re going to have a great Christmas together. With such great family, friends and followers I\u2019m really positive about what\u2019s in store next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again a BIG THANKS from me. I wish you all the very best and hope to see everyone happy and smiling in 2023!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
