        It's been built to access MoD (US = DoD) owned, and very restricted foreshore, the alternative is a 2 mile walk/scramble/wade. It is surprising stable.

        When my mate got back to his bike after fishing, some local shits had slashed his tyres. I told him to add it to the "fast access pile"....

          @Giles misunderstood the purpose…our local shits have an affinity of pushing shopping carts (trolleys?) into the local waterways for no good reason. Thankfully, they are too busy doing so, to spend time on slashing tires.

            That's how they got there, it is the repurposing that I like......

                    Looks like good Bass territory. I saw a beaut of a sea trout jump about 5 meters from my rod tip whilst fishing for Bass last week....

                      Popped out for a quick 30 minutes at high tide today. Not massive, and no way of gauging its size in the photo, but a lovely fish. Put back to live another day....

                        Just catching up with the thread and there’s been some awesome fish caught. @Mizmazzle you're living my dream fishing the locations you do for amazing species of trout!

                        My season was quieter than normal but I had some great fish when I did get out. The salmon was landed on a high bank and was released straight after the photo. It was a good year for them this year which makes a change.

                            @Mizmazzle yeah all in all not a bad season. I didn’t get to fish much after mid June due to house renovations though. Our first born is due next March so I’ll probably fish even less next season.

                            Despite that I messaged Chris Barclay for one of his small stream specials.. 6’4” 3/4 blank rolled in Japan, Kineya hardware and a curly birch reel seat from Finland, guides etc from the states and built in NC by Chris. I might get to fish it in a couple years! 😂

                                        Hi I treated myself to a new light/ultralight 2-10 gram spinning rod for Christmas and caught my first January bass in the harbour. Caught on 3 gram jig head with a Berkley gulp worm 6lb braid 5lb flouro leader and a slow retrieved. This year I’m going going smaller and lighter in a hope to catch more fish.

                                            Is that shimano soare rod perhaps? I think I have the same reel. Bought myself a christmas present aswell. Super shallow spare spool and a heftier knob. Not a huge fan of ultra thin knob of 2000 vanquish. Going to be a long long winter before I get to use these 😞
