Thanks for the comment, the mod ive used can be found here:

Click on the link GT-Mike, he's the guy who made it work again. There's one or two bugs still, (read the thread) but its still a very good mod.

i love the longline, however since i did an update a while back i had problems with my mod. I have just been sorting through my mods and now cant get it to select the longline mod. The game crashes, do you know where i can get the mod for the most recent update of the game? cheers
