And to rub it all in had the girlfriend with me who has never fished before in her life, asked me to rig up a handline for her from a spool of 20lb line and catches a bass of about a pound no more than 15 yards from where we were!! she will never let me live it down now!!

So there it is guys quite an adventure just to get some fishing in but i managed in the end!!

Best give the beachcaster to your girlfriend next time mate and stick to the shallows.
Tough luck though but sounds like an adventurous weekend.

Beaten by your bird - oh dear mate !]Tell me about it, dont get the end of it!! classic example there you are with all your flash gear and multiple hooks and tons of bait and all i need is one hook, less than a ounce of lead and a underarm lob and i catch a fish!!!

I'll never get the end of it and on top of that she keeps on asking to go now!! what shall i do? no more hand lines for her me thinks
