new rods, snow and a pb!!

Hello again fellas

 

Just a quick update again.  Blanked again on sunday and fractured the carbon in my rod in the cold...i think thats what did it anyway!!  Good news though they replaced it with a brand new one in the shop.  An awa shima in 2.4m model with an extension to make it 2.7m...happy days.Wink

 

 

Snow has arrived in abundance and although I got the day off work, its no good for fishing which is not idealUndecided

 

And as promised a picture of my pb whiting i caught over christmas, its not a monster but at 2lb 11oz its pretty big for round here.  Take care lads.

 

Rog
