    Upstream or downstream if fishing in a group?

    For interest - If you were to fish in a group, say of three people would your preference be to be upstream, downstream or in the middle? I've got my own opinion, but I'm interested to hear what people have experienced :)

    Alarms - ATTa vs TLB+

    Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on the ATTa versus the TLB+? Or general feedback on the ATTa? They seem pretty equivalent, but I was wondering if the newer ones would be considered an upgrade?
