South West First trip with new gear

[KaiH]

Few hours at slapton Sunday morning with new rods and reels as bananas let me know there were hounds about.

One rod big bait and one 2 hook flapper. Bites from the start and it slowed down by high tide.

Plenty of whiting on both rods and a nice smoothhound on the flapper on mackerel. I had a couple of bigger fish on that came off on the way in on mackerel fillets.

Well done mate, great result. Always nice to christen new gear, I always worry until I’ve caught on new rods and reels, in case they’re cursed or something! ?

One of the reels is going back. Something wrong with the anti reverse.
