    Shields Beach, Sunday 09/02/14

    fished shields beach 1hr down and 1hr up tonight, to try out a new rod



    really like the rod, much lighter than my rt axe, and getting a lot more distance straight away. It was quite windy when i first got down there but the rod was ok, didnt move about too much.

    christened it with old faithful, a shields beach flounder



    not much action until the last cast, and this little codling



    both on 1/0 pennel pulley and runnidown

    was hoping for something silver, but happy not to blank; it was a nice night as well, felt like summer

      Glad you're happy with the new rod.

              Runnidown mate (gutted black lugworm). I tried Ragworm as well but nothing on that.

              I was fishing the middle of the beach, next to the big hole. There was a couple of lights along the trow rocks end, and a light along on the rocks, possibly the black path.

              Cheers, it was a good colour, I thought it was a little Pollock at first.

                  Well done mate , better rod for beach work , keep Ron for the cliffs and rocks :-)
                  I am a fisherman !
                  It is not merely something that I do
                  It is who I am !
                  Fishing is not simply my escape.
                  It is where I am supposed to be.
                  It is not a place that I go
                  But a lifelong journey that I am taking
                  It is a passage that was shown to me and that I will continue to show others.
                  When you understand all of this you will then know me .
                  And we will fish together

                    well you got the rod after all and its proved to be a good buy fish on the first session and casting better cant ask for anything more m8.
                    I am thinking of buying one myself but when I was in frasers last week he just had only one left in stock , nets told me they can not get any in till around april.
                    so they must be a good seller, people like them best of luck on ya next session.
                    me and me m8 are heading down to shields pier this Thursday for a sesh
