New Rod Christened

Recommended Posts

Enjoyed my first foray plugging with Paul J that much I decided I would get myself a spinning rod.

Bought a Mike Ladle 4piece spinning rod and put it to its test on Friday evening.

 

Got home from work early as I knew it would be a squeeze getting out the run. Paul Rowcliffe was crew for the day, so off to Wick at speed and a quick launch saw us heading up the harbour on a rapidly falling tide.

 

Got through the run just about ( PJ turned up a couple of hours later and got through somehow ). LW seemed to be an hour earlier than expected.

 

Off to the first bass mark, cast out and straight into a fish of around 1lb.

Paul R is impressed with my fish location skills at this point smile.gif

 

Then make numerous drifts of various marks ( even managing to touch bottom a fair way out, the tide was that low ) for the next 2 hours with not a single take.

 

Paul R hooked into a Pollock and then we decided to try another spot. This one was much better.

I hooked into a better fish which put a beautiful bend in the rod and headed for the weed - this weighed in at 3lb 4oz - not massive but a nice fish to christen the rod's first outing smile.gif
