It happens quite often, especially on small water's like yours. Tight lines P.S.. you can get baitrunner reels and also butt locks to fasten your rod handles so you don't loose anymore gear.

Popular Post Dave Rimmer Posted January 13, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Now I would never claim to be a photographer by a long chalk. I have however owned a couple of decent cameras over the years, and been fortunate to DJ in lots of great places, so here are a few of what I consider to be the better photographs. Jess doing what she does best, sleeping, but with a rather nice backdrop of the Brecon Beacons. Taken fron the Eiffel Tower on full zoom Taken from underneath the Eiffel Tower Three from New York One of the last remaining sections of the Berlin Wall Hamburg docks from the harbour That great big spike thing in Dublin's main street Somewhere over the Atlantic And finally, one that made me laugh, but Jessica didn't know why, because Gobbling has a totally different meaning here than it does in the States Edited January 13, 2015 by Dave Rimmer 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
