South West No 8

[Phis]

Evening all, well session no 8 this month and I arrived at the mark with great anticipation new century tip tornado super match rod in hand, time about 10am a couple of hours before high water. I was just setting up when Alex turned up. I was using the usual frozen baits so started with lug tipped with mackerel on no 4 aberdeens 20 minutes in and had a small whiting that was the rod christened, happy with that. I hadn't realised I was fishing a comp until Alex chimed in with ones apiece, bites came most of the session scores were mostly even, I think we needed a ref as Alex managed to lasso one the trace wrapped around it's gills hook dangling ? dunno how the hell he managed that anyway at 5 - 5 looking like a draw I had a little knock 6-5 to me right on the final whistle the rematch kicks off on Friday oh and we had two keepers out an all whiting session not a bad day ?

Well done, better catch today and always good to christen a new rod.
I refused to give him the dead half eaten whiting he landed one session, he's a tryer.

Nothing like a bit of friendly banter whilst fishing ?

I'll tell him the ref has looked into the result and called it 6-4 thanks ref Thrasher ?

Having fished solo since moving up here I'm enjoying the banter John

What did you think of your new rod?

What did you think of your new rod?

Lovely much better bite detection and no waggling about in the stiff breeze like the other rod did it's much stiffer so casting feels very different but I'm sure I will get used to it ?
